After the wheelchair ceremony, we drove to the Dieng Plateau and viewed a green sulfur lake and saw many agricultural terraces all the way to the top of the mountains.  On the way back to Yogjakarta, our driver decided to take a "shortcut."  We started on our journey about 3:00pm, winding around narrow mountain roads. The further we got, the more our driver did not know where he was.  We passed several gas stations and we all wondered why he didn't stop as it had been a long time since we had gotten gas.  The road was getting narrower, filled with pot holes   It began to rain and passing cars became very difficult.There were 8 of us plus the driver in a older van.  Finally, way up in the mountains he decided to stop at a small store where we were able to buy gas in a liter bottle which was funneled into the gas tank!  We had to do this one more time.  We finally arrived at our hotel at 9pm!  We were all glad to get there and have this "adventure" over.
