Borobudur, a small village - where the largest Buddhist temple is located. Most tourists only come to visit the temple alone - then go home, not many know, it turns out there are many tourism potentials in Borobudur that we can enjoy. One of them is the Borobudur VW Tour. Getting around, passing through the still beautiful rural streets with coconut trees lined up neatly on the side of the road and green rice plants adds cheerful tourism with the VW Cabrio after we see the beauty of the sunrise from Punthuk Setumbu.
Volkswagen 182 Classic
The fleet used to get around the tourist village uses the Volkswagen type 182. The roof of the car is open and the passenger capacity of 4 to 5 includes a driver and with a variety of colors will certainly add to the attractiveness of tourists. At present, there are around 70 fleets provided.
Volkswagen type 181/182 (Steering on the right) was originally a small military vehicle used by Germany during World War II. Produced in 1969 to 1983

Because our time is limited, we chose short trip by visiting 2 Tourism Villages:
-
Nglipoh Village
As a Pottery craftsman center, here we can learn to make pottery by ourselves. However, the process of burning pottery for a long time causes us to not be able to immediately bring home our work. But don't worry, we can ask the studio owner to send it via post.
For local residents who are dealing with clay every day, it only takes 2 to 3 minutes to produce an ashtray with the motif of the Borobudur temple stupa in the middle. In addition to producing souvenirs, residents also make cauldrons, sangan bolong and others. After spending approximately one hour, we go to the next destination, namely:
-
Omah So Ndene

Which needs to be prepared when enjoying VW Cabrio tours
Because some of the village roads that are still land and cars are open, ask the driver for the mask. Bring sunglasses and sunblock to protect yourself from the heat of the sun. Especially during the dry season. More is recommended to follow the activities in the morning when the air is still cool and the sun is not too hot.

Bintang Beer, the Drink of Champions
Indonesia can boast everything that Zappa dreams of - except that the archipelago hasn't gone nuclear. The Republic of Indonesia isn't exactly virgin when it comes to brewing beer, and she prides herself on three locally-created ales - the ubiquitous Star Pilsener; The star is cheaper, more bitter sidekick Anker; and Bali's niche, sickly-sweet Bali Hi.
The Tropical Rainforests of Borneo
Borneo is huge. After Greenland and New Guinea, it's the third largest island - and two thirds of it belongs to Indonesia. Straddling the equator, and split politically by Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia, Borneo sustains one of the richest ecosystems on the globe.
The Twin Mirrors of Bali’s Legong Dance
All Balinese children are exposed to the world of dance long before they can walk. Modern Legong dancers are no exception: picked for their beauty, suppleness - and even better if they look alike - Legong hopefuls will often begin their first dance class soon after the age of five. By fourteen, the girls will be thinking of retiring.
Prambanan Temple: The Seat of Shiva
Folklore has it that the Javanese Hindu temple of Prambanan wasn’t built by Man but by demons. Once upon a time in Central Java there were two kings. And kings being kings, they wanted each other’s kingdoms. So they sent their armies into battle, and wars being wars there was only one victor: the evil Prabu Damar Moyo…
The Eye of the Storm: Nyepi, Bali's Hindu Day of Silence
If previous New Year’s Days have seen you waking up with a crippling hangover and trying to remember what you did the night before, maybe it’s time you headed to Bali in March. Nyepi – the Balinese Day of Silence, and the start of the Hindu Saka New Year – is a day, a night and a day you’ll never forget.
Spicy and Proud: The Sasak People of Lombok
Geography and history define the Sasaks - who are indigenous people who make up 85% of Lombok's 3 million people. Their language, religion, architecture, dances and music are the marriages of sailors, conquerors, artists, political outcastes, who have given the Sasak their unique people, spicy flavor.
Borneo's Orangutans: Just Don't Call Me A Monkey!
This loveable, gentle, shaggy-haired ape shares 97 percent of our DNA. Like us, they have 32 permanent teeth. Unlike us, their arms are two meters long and they spend most of their time eating, sleeping, swinging and hanging out in some of the planet’s most vital habitats: the lowland rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.
Sambal, The Spice of Indonesian Life
It's a five-star restaurant or a food-stall, you're never far from Sambal in Indonesia. Sambal for your average Indonesian is like American ketchup tomato: it goes with everything. Rice or stir-fry, beef or fish, this all-purpose fiery, tangy relish comes in hundred flavors.
Durian, The King of Stink
Like any good outlaw, durian is tough on the outside with a heart of gold. At least, that’s how the fruit’s devotees describe it. Its critics don’t pull any punches when it comes to the rotten smell: “Ungodly”. “Like a three-week-old dead cow in custard.” And from an international food critic: “Its odour is best described as pig sh*t, turpentine and onions garnished with a dirty gym sock.”
The Mighty Mahakam River
The fabled Mahakam River snakes sinuously for over 900 kilometers from the central mountains to Samarinda and the sea through some of the world's richest remaining ecosystems. Its waters also carry a cargo of human history. Sultan, Pirates, Dayaks and European adventurers plied the river in search of treasure, territory and human heads.
