From Karimunjawa, I had to go to Solo(Surakarta) to the darmasiswa closing ceremony. Afterwards I stayed in solo a few nights.


with some friends we drove up to the feet gunung Lawu volcano, to candi sukuh
Its an ancient jawanenese-hindu temple from the 15th century.
From wikipedia:

Sukuh temple has a distinctive thematic reliefs from other candi where life before birth and sexual education are its main theme. Its main monument is a simple pyramid structure with reliefs and statues in front of it, including three tortoises with flattened shells and a male figure grasping his penis. A giant 1.82 m (6 ft) high of Shishna with four testes, representing penile incisions,[1] was one of the statues that has been relocated to the National Museum of Indonesia.

My motorbike was seriously loosing power, on the way down I had the driving belt changed!
