Sex Trip 2 Java Game In 52
Cripin Plascencia
We had a fantastic time traveling in East Java, and with this itinerary, we want to share our experiences and tips. Java is an island in Indonesia, and it has so much to offer from volcano hikes to the most impressive waterfalls. Also, the local people are some of the friendliest we have ever met.
To visit Java or other places in Indonesia you can easily get a 30 days single entry at the airport without a visa when you arrive in the country. If you want to extend your stay up to 60 days you have to get a Visa On Arrival (VOA) at the airport which is as well valid for a 30 days stay, but can be extended and costs you 37$.
You can choose if you want to visit Mount Bromo with a tour or do it by yourself. We decided to do the hike by ourselves, and it was very easy. It was a magical experience to see the sun rising next to the vulcanos and to enjoy the stunning colors.
From Bromo, we traveled to Malang, which is about 3 hours ride when you take a jeep who can drive you through the sea of sand. Otherwise, the journey will take you about 5 hours. We mentioned everything you need to know about this in our blog post about Mount Bromo. We recommend you to organize this transport in advance if you want to stay in Bromo Town.
This village was the highlight of our stay in Malang. It is a slum area that was already given up by the government. They wanted to relocate the people. A few students came up with the idea to paint this village to attract tourists, and their plan worked out.
You will pay a small entrance fee of 10k IDR (0.70$), to support the village. After you entered this town, you will be in another world of very positive vibes. Everything is painted in colors, and there are many cute decorations, all kinds of paintings on the walls, and much more. But the very best part of this village is the people who live there. They are so friendly and welcoming. Also, we met some school kids who came there to interview tourists for their English classes. We spend an hour with these kids and had so much fun. We highly recommend visiting this village when in Malang.
When you arrive at the waterfall, you will find a parking and some food stalls. You will first walk about 5 minutes until you get to a viewpoint where you will have a fantastic view of the waterfall. At this place, you can buy food and refreshment, what we did after the hike to hydrate ourselves with a fresh coconut.
Overall we can say that we enjoyed traveling in Java a lot. The Javanese people are some of the friendliest and warmest we ever met, and we loved all the unforgettable memories we made during this trip.
If you have not been to Java yet, you are missing out. The island is the fourth biggest island in Indonesia and a true gem with lots of places to discover and explore. Java is located between Sumatra and Bali and is a volcano-dotted island in Indonesia. 45 of the volcanos are currently active. Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen are one of the most popular volcanos on Java island. The capital of Java is Jakarta and home to almost 10 million people.
There are several airports in Java, we actually flew into Jakarta the first time and took a flight to Surabaya the second time. You can also take a ferry when coming from Bali which we also did once. It was pretty convenient and is pretty fast when coming from West Bali.
There are trains and buses that you can take to get from A to B. We took a train from Surabaya to Yogyakarta and it was perfectly fine and a very cheap option. In Surabaya and Yogyakarta we had a driver who drove us to all the places we wanted to see. You can find drivers through the hotel or can research on Trip Advisor. This is how we found our driver.
We took a flight from Labuan Bajo on Komodo Island to Surabaya and started our trip here. Surabaya is fairly close to Mount Bromo and the famous Madakaripura and Tempuk Sewu waterfall. Still, we would suggest you to take a bus or van to Mount Bromo area and stay there over night. We only were able to do Mount Bromo and the Madakaripura waterfall because we only had one day and the drive from Surabaya (depending on traffic) takes about 3 h. It is still possible to do trips from Surabaya though. So if you have limited time, definitely book a day trip from Surabaya.
We stayed at the Oakwood Hotel & Residence Surabaya , because we got a super good deal on booking.com. We paid about 40 dollars per night. The hotel was perfect for 2 nights and had a really great breakfast.
After visiting Mount Bromo, we drove all the way to the waterfall Madakaripura. It is a 1 hour drive from Mount Bromo and about 30-40 minutes walk to the waterfall itself. In fact, we parked our car close by and had to take scooters to drive to location where the hike starts.
Unfortunately, we did not had the time to visit this gorgeous place in Java, but we heard so many great things about this waterfall. Tumpak Sewu is a tiered waterfall that is located in East Java. The waterfall is close to an active volcano Semeru, which is the highest mountain in Java.
Make sure to visit the view point in the morning for sunrise and if you are lucky you will have a clear view on the waterfall with the volcano as a beautiful backdrop. The trail to the waterfall is right next to the viewpoint and it takes about 20 minutes to reach the waterfall. Make sure to wear proper shoes, as the trail is a little bit sketchy, but not too hard after all.
I love vibrant colors and love colorful cities and this village is like a rainbow dream. Again, we did not make it there, because we did not have enough time in East Jave and thought that we could easily do a day trip from Surabaya, BUT that was not possible.
Yogyakarta is a city in Central Java with a population of about 388,000 people. You will find two breathtaking temples close to Yogja: Prambanan (Hindu temple) and Borobudur (Buddhist temple). Yogja is home to the countries most famous university, a huge art and music scene, amazing food and much more. You will find amazing sceneries and view points close to Yogyakarta.
You have to visit the biggest Buddhist structure in the world when you are visiting Yogyakarta. The temple is surrounded by the most beautiful and scenic views and is only 45 minutes drive from Yogyakarta. With its endless mountains and valleys, it makes it the perfect place to watch the sunrise.
We already have been to Bagan and were amazed by the gorgeous Pagodas, but the temple structure in Borobudur was a completely different one that totally blew me away. I have not been to Andkor Wat yet, which is another temple that is considered to be extremely unique and beautiful.
Whereas Bagan and Angkor Wat are temple complexes, including several buildings, Borobudur is a single temple that is massive, unlike anything else that we have seen before. Borobudur is considered to be the largest Buddhist monument on Earth, a giant pyramid with 9 levels, 2672 carved panels and 504 Buddha statues. On the top level you will find 72 bell-shaped stupas, each of them containing a statue of the Buddha.
We decided to visit this temple for sunrise and had to wake up around 3am in the morning. Since the temple opens at 6am and the drive there is about 45 min from Yogja, you have to wake up early, BUT the important thing is, you will not regret it. It is magical and 100% worth it.
We visited the temple during the sunset hour and can recommend that. On a clear day, the sunset will make the views on the temples even more beautiful and staggering. We enjoyed walking through the temple sight for about 2-3 h.
Taman Sari is located in Yogja and is also known as the water temple. It is divided into 4 separate areas with the bathing area being one of the most beautiful and interesting one. The bathing area will also be the first section you will see entering Taman Sari. It consists out of 2 big pools and towers and you are actually able to enter the towers and see the views from upstairs.
Another highlight of Taman Sari is the underground mosque, which was again something we have not seen before. The structure consists of several staircases and windows with a small podium in the center.
We did not visit the waterfall itself but the viewpoint, because we were not feeling good that day. Bu the viewpoint itself is already worth the 1 h drive from Borobudur. Right after watching the sunrise at Borobudur, we decided to make a stop at this Kedung Kayang Waterfall. You have to pay to take photos on the platform, I think it was about 3 US dollar, which is totally ok in my opinion. Since we did not go there for sunrise, we were not able to see the Merapi volcano in the background, still the view was stunning.
Another stunning place that we visited during our time in Yogja was Hutan Pinus Mangunan. It is a huge Pine forest about an hour from Jogyakarta. You can wander around the forest and there are also several photo opportunities there with breathtaking views.
Jurang Tembelan is a hotspot full of viewing platforms with plenty of photo opportunities. The most incredible spot for me was the boat-shaped bamboo viewing platform with gorgeous views on the valley. We did not spend a lot of time there, just took a few photos of the boat. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be during sunrise or sunset.
If you want incredible views and Instagram worthy photo spots, you do not want to miss out on Pinus Pengger, a relatively new addition to the top places to visit in Yogyakarta. It is just an hour drive from Yogyakarta city center. This place is basically like a forest themed park that has interesting sculptures such as The Hand which is a hot Instagram spot and a great place to click a few memorable selfies, especially during sunrise or sunset. We booked a driver for the day and told him about the places that we wanted to visit by showing him the photos. The locals usually know exactly where to find those places. Please keep in mind that you have to pay for every platform separately if you want to take photos.
We really wanted to visit the Jomblang Cave, because it must be a unique experience. Unfortunately, we did not had the time for that. Especially if you love adventures and nature, this cave should be on your list. You will get the necessary equipment for your 60 meter descend down into the cave.
