Goa
Pindu is an ordinary small village, in the high hills between Jogja and
Wonosari. It's near a popular tubing and rafting site, but I saw no tubers
or rafters venturing into the village.

My Indonesian language teacher Mr. Zia translates the calligraphy as:
Ash-adu alla
ilaha Illallah (I testify that there is no god except Allah)
Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar rasulullah (I testify that Muhammad is Allah's
Messenger)
Sights
like this delight the eye when you ride Java's country roads. This is
at the foot of Mt. Nglanggeran.
From
Nglanggeran. That's Mt. Merapi in the distance.
Nglanggeran
is a karst mountain, with two major peaks. The climb up takes only an
hour and a half.
