Although slightly disappointed we couldn’t see the volcano due to weather- the jeep tour was fun & interesting. The drive through water in the river was crazy and there were a lot of cars, but the drivers are very experienced. The owner kindly drove us back to our hotel afterwards as he said taxis were hard to get, & refused payment when we insisted. Overall a cool experience and something different to do in Yogyakarta.
