A new to the world river came into being after the eruption of Mount Merapi in 2010. This area has totally changed ever since and Google Maps is not up-to-date anymore.
We drove by the village of Jumoyo on our way to Yogyakarta. A village which is still on the map but most of the village is gone due to the eruption of the Merapi vulcano of October and November 2010 (about 4 month prior to our visit). The village was split in two parts by a ‘new’ river of cold lava, rocks, ash and water. Lots of houses were gone or filled up with sand and ash. During our short stop we saw that the inhabitants were already busy with rebuilding their village along the main road. But the remains of the old houses were still there. Rocks, ash and ruins were still there. A kind of shocking break of our tour, but good to see that people are going on with everything they still have.
Eruption of Merapi
The 2010 eruptions of Mount Merapi began in late October 2010 when Mount Merapi in Central Java, Indonesia began an increasingly violent series of eruptions that continued into November. Seismic activity around the volcano increased from mid-September onwards, culminating in repeated outbursts lava and ashes. Large eruption columns formed, causing numerous pyroclastic flows down the heavily populated slopes of the volcano. Merapi's eruption was said by authorities to be the largest since the 1870s.
Over 350,000 people were evacuated from the affected area. However, many remained behind or returned to their homes while the eruptions were continuing. 353 people were killed during the eruptions many as a result of pyroclastic flows. The ash plumes from the volcano also caused major disruption to aviation across Java.
The mountain continued to erupt until 30 November 2010. On 3 December 2010 the official alert status was reduced to level 3, from level 4, as the eruptive activity had subsided.

This is Java at four years old. She is a cat and was born in Port Huron, Michigan - USA. Java is shy and can be nervous so she doesn't like to be around too many people. In fact, Java will only sit on my lap and will hide when I have company. That is okay because I enjoy watching her be herself! Ceci est la Java à quatre années vieilles. Elle est un chat et était né dans Huron de Port, le le michigan - USA. La Java est timide et peut être nerveux si elle n'aime pas être autour de trop de gens. En fait, la Java assiéra seulement sur mes genoux et la me permets de caresse un ou deux fois un jour. Elle cachera quand j'ai du monde. Sa personnalité est bonne avec moi parce que j'apprécie regardant Java s'est !

Bandung (pronounced [bənˈduŋ]) (Indonesian: Kota Bandung) is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, and the country's third largest city, and 2nd largest metropolitan area in Indonesia,[1] with 7.4 million in 2007. Located 768 m (2,520 ft) above sea level, approximately 140 km southeast of Jakarta. Bandung has cooler temperatures year-around than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies in a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a good natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung. From: wikipedia.
