The sights near the volcano mountain were quite amazing in the early evening mist. We stopped at what looked like someone’s house to buy petrol that is sold by the liter and is stored in plastic water bottles. It cost us 10,000 rupiah (or $1.10) to fill er up! No wonder they use mopeds. Everyone drives a moped. We saw drivers as young as 12 years old and we also saw entire families on one moped- Dad driving with baby in front of him, child behind him, Mom at the back. No one had helmets on- you wouldn’t see this in the USA!
