Sunrise Hunting and Ice Dew on Dieng

Sunrise hunting trip and enjoy the phenomenon of frost in Dieng, Wonosobo, Central Java.  I live in Yogyakarta and Dieng distance is 112 km from my city and it takes around 3.14 minutes if traffic is normal.  I was very excited and impatient when June was the dry season and in Dieng there was a snow phenomenon as I wrote in my previous article about that phenomenon in here

Because I was very excited, I and the children did not sleep at night on June 28, 2019. Our travel plan was to enjoy the sunrise and also to enjoy the phenomenon of frost.  Actually it is not possible for 2 of our plans to be implemented, because frost will begin to melt when the sun rises.  But there is no harm in trying to get those two moments

We departed from Yogya at 1 am using 2 cars.  And we are ready with layered clothes and jackets and also layered gloves because we will come to the highlands, where the temperature is always cold on normal days, especially in the dry season ... can reach minus temperatures and when I go there the temperature  6 ° C, maybe for those of you who live in countries where the winter temperature is 6 ° C has no effect, but for those of us who only have 2 seasons, and tropical countries the temperature is 6 ° C very cold

Oh yes, on my trip this time I encountered a little problem, namely the car tire suddenly went flat and it was 4 o'clock in the morning which in 30 minutes the sun would immediately rise ... oh really adrenaline because we panicked and worried and disappointed  imagine that our trip will be in vain because of an unexpected problem that is a flat tire, and the location where we change tires is about 10 km from the location to enjoy the sunset and need about 15 minutes there because the road is very uphill and narrow, of course the car must  be more careful, you can't speed.

And on 4.20 cars can continue the journey.  It feels amazing because we still have a moment of sunrise that is extraordinary like the photo below

Do not want to move actually because of admiration, excitement, emotions mixed into one to see the greatness of God with a cycle of sunrise that is amazing.  Dieng has the best place to enjoy the sunrise on Mount Sikunir, I didn't get there but my son who was in the arms of another car they enjoyed the sunrise from Mount Sikunir

We were in the Tieng substation for only 10 minutes because we still wanted to be able to enjoy holding phenomenal ice dew.

In which the phenomena invite tourists from outside the area and outside the province to come to the Arjuna Dieng Temple Complex to see and enjoy extraordinary phenomena for us in Indonesia

My advice for those who have breathing problems should not come to the ice location is, because it is really very cold, I who already wear thick clothing plu s 3 layered jacket, 3 layered gloves also still shivering with cold ... brrrrr

My youngest child cried at first asking to return to the car because he felt unbelievably cold but because in my mind I just wanted to see the house directly, I ignored the safety of my children. Alhamdulillah, even though it was very cold, we could be in the middle of the frost, and there was very crowded with tourists like me, visiting, taking photos while enjoying the extraordinary natural scenery.Although there was a little drama from the cries of my youngest child and also a flat car tire

Dieng is famous for producing potatoes, vegetables, tobacco and there are also tea plantations

We stopped by the Tambi Tea Plantation, once again this place was extraordinary, especially for me who came from Kalimantan and did not have a tea plantation because of Kalimantan's geographical location on the Equator

Arriving at the time I had to go back to Yogyakarta and my heart was not ready to go home because Dieng, Wonosobo was very good in sight,but because it's still a pandemic,ice dew this year is likely to be missed.
