Mount Wayang

The third day, june4th 2006, I went to Mount Wayang and many areas around that mountain. This time with Crab Adventure again and I asked my sister n her best friend to came along with. Actually we would like to go to Klaten again, tried the new route from Mount Wayang to Klaten. But many problems that we faced made us have to split at Prambanan. Mr.Ponki headed to Klaten and we all just go home. They still have to go again in the next morning then they need some rest after went to mount wayang for a whole day.
I met different kind of people in mount wayang area. They seem more innocent and hard worker. I saw that it felt so peaceful there. They keep working as usual, got some fresh grass and feeding their animals. Most of them never stop us like people in Klaten and Bantul did. They met us and give us big smile and say hi. They build the tents and sharing a joke to each other. We saw them mostly always laughing.
We had awesome view during to go to the top of Mount Wayang (approx 2300 m). The air was so great and I can smell what a great scent of fresh air and grass there. Even the smell of the earth!
And it was so sad to see how damage their house there. Mr. Wahyu from Crab told me that they build their house by head. They brought one by one of bricks to the top. It need years to build one and small house. And after it s already had done, all nothing now.
Leaving the mountain when the sun was gone… Darkness covered all the way that we passing trough. I can see now how the differences if we met that victims at night. It’s quite dark there. They build their tents near the roads and they can’t do anything but sat together with their family or may be with many other families. I heard they say “dag dag” or bye bye to us, still with their lovely smile. Our cars, two big Cherokee jeeps, one Landover, and CJ7 jeep, became kind of wonderful cars for them (me either actually :D ).
I laid my hand and give back my biggest smile to them. Hope that one day I can back there again, and can do something more for them.
