Trip To Jatiluhur Cave and Dieng

Last week, I had a study tour with my school for three days. I brought a little backpack for my clothes and a small bag for my gadgets. I left the backpack at bus' luggage and brought the small bag, where I put hand phone, MP4, and digital camera in, almost everywhere. I took a lot of pictures with my camera, had a lot of fun from there.

my name tag. oh my name, haha it was written so bad because I wrote it on the bumpy ride at bus (taken by me)

Our first destination is Jatiluhur Cave. We arrived there at the evening and it was so dark there. We should have been there at 4 but we were so out of the schedule. At the beginning, I was a little afraid to get into the cave in the dark, but fortunately, it did not as bad as that because they put a lot of lamps there. About the view inside, it was perfectly amazing. We walked at a small bridge between the big rocks and enjoyed some statues there. We also passed the underground river. I actually wanted to touch the water but the time and the crowd didn't allow me. next time maybe. I didn't realize that i was very sweaty until I got out of the cave. haha it was hot, really.

The next day, we went to Dieng plateau. We did not go there by the bus from the tour agency but by the public bus from the nearest city. The temperature there was so cold that we did not need the air conditioner anymore. We were divided into 11 small buses and I got bus number 5. We got a very challenging road for our stomach on our way to Dieng plateau with a lot of climbs and curves. However, we got perfect view at Telaga Warna and Sikidang Crater.

the condition in the bus

The view at Telaga Warna was perfectly breathtaking. Although we did not see any changing of the lake's color, we was still amazed. The view of Sikidang Crater was also breathtaking. Our visit to the crater really took our breath away. The smell from the crater was so strong that it was a little hard for us to breath. Some of us chose to close our mouth and nose so as to avoid the smell. It was really fun for sure.

the condition of the lake, pretty awesome
