Dramatic footage ~ Big Rig falls off bridge ~ Indonesia

An 18 wheeler falls off Bridge. Dramatic coverage of a horrific truck accident in Yogjakarta, Java, Indonesia. As seen on Balifornian Tours Ec-Adventure Tour.

 
While it may seem to the outsider that the drivers in Indonesia and other Asian countries are reckless and law breaking, we see very few accidents while traveling. This was one of the few, but it was quite shocking. It appears the driver and passenger of the big rig were in shock but alive. No word on their recovery but we wish them the best.  Its amazing they made it out at all as the cab was crushed.  Be safe out there everyone!

Balifornian Tours and Travel Blog was nominated for the best bali website and travel blog.

Photo of the Day ~ Boys playing Soccer- Taman Sari Water Castle ~ Balifornian Tours and Travel Blog

Built in mid 18th century,  The Taman Sari Water Castle is the former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta.  A huge complex of manmade lakes, underground tunnels, bathing areas and much more.  The name Taman Sari comes from the Javanese words taman, meaning a "garden" or "park" and sari, which means "beautiful" or "flowers".  These boys were elated to kick around the soccer ball in these empty cavernous rooms.  We saw them on our travels in Yogjakarta, Java.

Photo of the Day ~ Sunset at Borobudur ~ Balifornian Tours and Travel Blog

Our Eco-Tourism Tour stopped outside of Yogjakarta, Java to witness Borobudur, the largest and widely hailed as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.  The colossal temple, composed of 55,000 square meters of lava-rock was built between AD 700 and  AD 850, (over 300 years prior to Cambodia's Angkor Wat, and more than 400 years before any of the great European cathedrals).  The monument comprises of a stepped-pyramid of six rectangular stories topped by three circular terraces, and a central stupa crowning this incredible architectural achievement on par with the great pyramids of Egypt.  The entire structure is in the form of a lotus, the sacred flower of The Buddha.
