Harvest Time





As we were driving up the mountains, there were heaps of people going up and down the roads with their harvests. We couldn't believe they were travelling up and down these mountains with such heavy loads on their shoulders. They were travelling km's from the plantation to the village.

Trasnport in Indonesia






We tried to capture some of the forms of transport used here in Indonesia. The horse and cart was used everywhere in Wonosobo. There were heaps of them. These little rickshaw's are also everywhere. Then you see pictures of people piled into trucks being transported around. Also very common.

More Markets!




A few more shots to accompany the last entry.

Market Time





We passed through quite a few markets on the way to Wonosobo. I tried to do some very quick photography whilst we were driving past. Let me assure you that I don't go shopping at one of these every week for my groceries. If we did, the amoeba's would kill us in no time!

Roadside restaurant




We stopped here on our way to Wonosobo for brunch. Since we had left home at 3:00am we were all a little tired - as you can see from the photos. It took us 12 hours to drive there. Here's a photo of where they did some of the cooking, on this little grill with a frilly green hut built around it. As you can see from Gus - we ate chicken rice for nearly the whole 4 days.

Wonosobo Drive




Recently we took a road trip to a place called Wonosobo. On the way we met the onion capital of the world. Check out all these red onions!! There was probably a stretch of about 70km where these onions were being grown, and harvested.

Faces of Indonesia



Again, just a couple of pics showing some of the faces we see here in Indonesia.
