Indonesia (Dieng) Feb 2009 D-3

Dieng & Borobudur Map

Yesterday evening after our return from the Borobudur trip, Ng and myself popped into Sosro travel agency's office to inquire about any interesting tourist places our group could sign up for tomorrow. The travel agent suggested that we visit the Dieng Plateau (2,000m), Arjuna Temple, Skidang crater tourist area. Dieng is located at the north of Yogyakarta and west of Borobudur and is a valley rich in volcanic activity.

However, we were keen to see Mt Bromo & Ijen Lake but we need at least 3 days to complete this visit. So we have to disregard the Mt Bromo visit due to time constraints and instead we signed up the Dieng Plateau day tour. For 5 people, our group hired a Toyota jeep and paid 450,000rp=Rm140 for this 10hr day trip to Dieng. Lee & Lam were happy that we had chosen this particular tour .

As this was a long day (3 hrs by car from Yogya to Dieng Plateau), our driver came to our hostel to pick us up at 7.45am. We had our morning breakfast at the hostel around 7.15am and also waited for Gan to show up as he was staying in Delta Hotel, 3km from Malioboro area.
