| Coban Baung Waterfall |
 |
| Really scary bridge I had no intention of crossing |
 |
| The rushing water that the really scary bridge over looks |
 |
| More rushing water - for the record, I am sure the view from the bridge would have been beautiful, but so is staying alive :) |
 |
| Christy (colleague from SIS) is a risk-taker. She showed no fear as she crossed the bridge. |
 |
| Purwodadi Botanical Gardens - Cacti |
 |
| Cool tree - would be a great climbing tree for Katniss in The Hunger Games |
 |
| This is a hibiscus. I only know what a hibiscus is because my momma had a yellow one. We are at the Wonosari Tea Plantation. |
 |
| This is the view from a look out at the Wonosari Tea Plantation |
 |
| The little green things are tea leaves. Wonosari Tea Plantation. Yes - the picture is sideways. No, I can't figure out how to change the orientation in Blogger. Thank you for adjusting |
 |
| We took a tour of the tea plantation. Tea leaves are picked by hand. Then they are delivered via a "tea lift" (like a ski lift, but for tea) to this drying area. The leaves are removed from the bags and left here. Then they go through a long process that we didn't see and get packaged into... |
 |
| big ass bags of tea! I loved the tour because it smelled delicious. |
 |
| Pretty fountain |
 |
| Grounds of Kaliandra Sejati Foundation - a peaceful little get away. |
 |
| Kaliandra Sejati - if any of you come and visit me, I will take you here! |
 |
| Pretty flowers |
 |
| This funky orange-ish red flower hangs from above :) |
 |
| This is the villa at Kaliandra Sejati |
 |
| Holy bamboo, Batman! |
 |
| On the way to the quaint little bungalow you can rent if you want to stay over. |
 |
| Bungalow - two floors (thus the name) open air facilities. Three bathrooms? |

| Jolotundo Temple |

| Jolotundo temple. Ritual bath. While we were visiting, we were the subject of many local's photographs. It's a little weird having your picture taken by a bunch of strangers! |
