Freezing in Dieng Pleteau

Huoooo finally after finished my study in last semester I'm HOME!!! Well this trip I go with someone crazy that I ever told you before in last post in last trip to PAPANDAYAN Mt. yap Tito Taufik
Its kind of pops up in our head to visit this awesome place where peace will be everlasting  *Lebay*. But, let me tell you first about Dieng.

Dieng Plateau is a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on the Dieng Volcanic Complex near Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia. Referred to as "Dieng" by Indonesians, it sits at 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level, far from major population centres. The name "Dieng" comes from Di Hyang which means "Abode of the Gods". Dieng is truly adode of the Gods because you will feel there is no problem, feel safe, feel so comfortable, and it was damn full of tranquility INDEED!

Ok, We start my journey from Bandung, We go to Cicaheum Terminal then take a bus to Wonosobo its take cost about Rp. 70.000 and tooks 10 hours journey wkwkwkwk quite long that the reason why we go on the night approximately bus will off on 19.00 W.I.B. We just took a seat then SLEEP until someone wake me up, and just realize we just the only one passenger in that bus 
The driver ask us where we gonna go and Tito told him just drop we off on Plaza Wonosobo. Then 05.00 AM we arrived in darkness day *Lebay again* hahaha. Oke feel so damn hungry and we found a love Gudeg in the front of Plaza that was the best Gudeg that I ever had. Unfortunately i forget took the picture of the warung but if I'm not wrong the name is GUDEG BU JINAH *definitely strange ya hahaha*. But if u get off in Plaza Wonosobo make sure u see them, its quite crowded even in a really early morning.

Alright, lets continue the journey after had a great meal in early morning I took a micro bus to Dieng here the bus.

it isn't mine, coz I didn't took the pict of the bus

It's took 1 hour and we get off in the terminal of Dieng peoples call it "Homestay BU Djono" a lot of people stay there, but we are not! HAHAHA Tito had another idea to stay and we stay in HOME STAY PUSPA INDAH that was great and also nice, water heater, wi-fi, so really clean and the important things is excellent services. The housekeeper was nice she just help a lot of things especially when I need quick laundry and also perfectly clean!

Ok, after arrived, we just get in the bed and took a nap. Well, the weather was perfectly nice for sleep hahahaha. And after 12.00 PM we woke up and take a shower then ask the housekeeper where we can rent a motor bike. And she gave us what we need and we got the motorbike its only Rp. 150.000 for 2 days. And we start our journey in Dieng. First destination is Sikidang Crater (Kawah Sikidang) the weather not too good, drizzle all day long.

Anyway now its kind of new regulation that we have to pay Rp. 18.000 for the entrance ticket of all destination in Dieng. So keep the ticket carefully!!!






Yap, the weather not too good so we go back to the parking area where a lot of warung there. We order some nice stuff there. The legend of Potato Wedges and Purwaceng.

I really love it!!! Its only Rp. 5000 MUST TRY!!!!


And this is purwaceng, not to special for me and actually bandrek from Bandung was better then this one, a glass of purwaceng Rp.10.000

After that we go to the caldera people called Telaga Warna. That was nice if the sun shine perfectly shining. Ah ya! We have to pay extra Rp. 5000 for get in.

After that we decided to back to he homestay because its gonna be heavy raining. And we think where we gonna go because its still 15.00, and we go to Wonosobo HAHAHAHA it was sudden planning!!!
So, when the rain getting benign we go with the CRAZY MISTY!!! And without helmet -,-


at 18.00 we decide for stop to the restaurant that sold Mie Ongklok, it was my favorite food in Dieng after the potato but unfortunately Tito can't ate it because he has a allergic of shrimp (the sauce of the noodles mixed with shrimp). And after that we continue our journey to find the point of City, and we just realize how small Wonosobo hahahha. And we just hard to find any supermarket. And we asked someone where the supermarket and someone told us there is a supermarket named RITA and beside it there is Mickey Mouse HAHAHAHAAHAHAH WHAT THE FU THE NAME OF THE SUPER MARKET HAHAHHAAHHAHA. Well we didn't go to that place and finally we decided to bought some stuff in Indomaret which is normal! hahaha
After that we found a coffe and bread shop that sold WEDANG RONDE and SKOTENG, I told Tito direclty "STOP!!! Ada wedang ronde! Gambarnya bagus! Mau" and he stop the parking wkakakakak.

its only Rp. 12.000 SO damn cheap!!!!

Left: Wedang Ronde, Right: Skoteng. That was totally strange because they put EMPING in to those stuff. Its different with usually wedang or skoteng. But its so cheap only Rp. 6000 and not bad!!


Well, That stuffs closed our first day journey. And we back to Dieng with freeze driving in the night! So crazy trip and we take a rest directly because the second day we have to wake up really early morning to hunt the sunrise!!!!
