Today, i was in same city like ive told you before, it is YOGYAKARTA. I was in my friend's boarding house in Karang Malang, Yogyakarta State University' complects. This was very beautiful day, and great for us to take a walk. After wake up at 6 a.m, i took a bath, than wait my darl took me up in a tourism place.
We had a theme for our journey today. it is ONE YEAR MERAPI's ERRUPTION.
We went to Kaliurang, Yogyakarta.its about 25km from Sleman town. it was north of yogya.
Although today not the same date with merapi's errupted one year ago, but the same feel when it had happened still there in our memories when we visited the area...............

okey, there is Eagle Statue as the symbol of this tourism place :)
There are many tourism facilities here :P some view like : Pronojiwo Hills, Waterfall, Park, and Monkey Habits :D

in the behind is waterfall :) also called tlogo putri
At that time there weren't the water anymore, so we just took some photos :P
yapppy, this is me in fornt of the putri waterfall :P
Next: went to PRONOJIWO hill :
this the direction arrow
very hard to reach the top :( i was very tired and just 200m from above.
We went down and took a rest in the park with unique chair :)
nice place here ! :)
okay next we went to the other place, still about merapi, but it was in another national park. Lets see !
called NIRMOLO KALIURANG :)
What kind of place this is ? Lets see some picture that ive taken there :))
just choose between two alternative , first is GOA JEPANG, and the second is BUKIT PLAWANGAN, and i choosed the second one :) it needs 1 kilometers walked up to reach the top, i went up with my darl.. but it just can reach 3/4 of the full way. the area is difficult enough to passed. But i had take some sceneries there :
this is the beginning way in savety condition of the PLAWANGAN hill. But in upper, it will rocky way, slippery,steepy, and very scary ;'(
Okay, we didnt got BEAUTIFUL merapi's view there, we just were very tired. So, we decided to go to the KINAHREJO......
and we found that beautiful MERAPI's mountain :)
this one good capture by my nu Canon :P
the condition : many seller there, many motorcycle lessor, motor ofroad lessor, and many business activity there :) i think the economic of Merapi's society is recover Now :)
Although, it was one year ago..but now, merapi still often do its activity like earthquake inside.... that saw us about the increasing activity again , but it doesnt meaning that merapi will errupt. It can mean merapi is still doing weathering to recover or to balanced the nature :)
close view of merapi :))
and these are some picture of the area that passed by Hot Cloud of Merapi Erruption one year ago.........
it was also the picture of Avanza, which carrying the victim to the evacuation area :
and this one is the house of MBAH MARIJAN, the kuncen of Merapis Mount
Mbah Marijan is a faithful man. He brought his responsibility until he died. He said that the authority of the people is based on his ability to keep his responsibility. awesome !
Thats all are my destination to Merapi's area..... and i saw many things better. All activity can run normally, and the society there were recovering it very well :) Hope they can more alert than before. and hope they will always in happiness :)
