Getting near to Gunung Merapi

Gunung Merapi (means Fire Mountain in Javanese), is an active volcano which is very near to the city of Yogyakarta.
Literally, it's kinda dangerous to go there, but for the sake of 'adventure', we visited there in our last trip! (this is spoken from 'lung', directly translated from Chinese >.<)

From hotel, we took the 3+2 seated bus getting towards Gunung Merapi...
ermmm...foot hill only...
The road is not really wide, and we're going uphill, a bit like in Bali.
Frankly, I still prefer the road system in Malaysia...

Then, we passed by a seem-to-have-destroyed dam, and they said this is for the lava not for water...
Finally, we had arrived our destination, where we're going for some CSR work--tree planting!
I could hardly take a picture of Gunung Merapi, due to the thick and big cloud!!!
One small peak was the only result I got...

Basically, the hole already been dug, what we need to do were just wearing gloves, then put the bonsai into the hole, and cover it at last...
One hole so many hands~~~ xD

I like this picture so much! Blue sky, white cloud, with not-so-green grass field...and everybody seemed 'busy'...haha!!!
but seriously, it was damn HOT!!!

After completing the hole, we went to a local primary school, for the library opening ceremony, which OGIP had sponsored on it...

Then, we're having our lunch in box in the bus....
After getting full, bored, dizzy and felt asleep, while waiting super looong in the bus for their Friday prayer @.@
