Will be keeping my eye on this tered, as I am attempting a solo trip to indon soon.

Anyone here took the train in Java before? Need to book in advance? Or can walk in and buy tickets?

Where in indo?
Route?

How many days? For honeymoon, I recommend Amed, really nice place for honeymooners

FYI, I walk in and bought the tix. But the tix counter is not open 24 hours, most counters open until 7pm only. so if u know u are going to walk in late at night, better book online

I filled in the borang pemesanan damn cincai only. Just put normal address also can d. Name and passport is mandatory, they check your passport when u want to enter the gate.

Once booked, print the voucher emailed to you and bring it to the train station to redeem the real ticket

I walked in and bought all my tickets, no problem also

There are tours there to bring you to borobudur and back to yogyakarta. Cheaper than renting car/hiring a driver

When are you going? Usually no problems, unless long weekend, cuti bersama
I got book the night before also, next morning go

Also can try cheap pecal lele at sambel layah

When you going? Unless it's during a major holiday, no need to prebook cos most visitors to dieng come for daytrip only. Only some opt to stay a night. If you arrive just before check-out time, no problem if you walk in.

For further reference, you can refer to day 5 & 6 of this iti: http://gaeria84.blogspot.my/2015/07/java-i...-days.html#day5

It's doable, but it'll be tiring. And Expensive. Morning in borobudur, skip mendut go to merapi, afternoon go to prambanan. Ask the tour agents there, they will have a better idea. Or if you want to DIY, rent vehicle and go

Sunrise more expensive than morning entry for borobudur, and sunrise not guaranteed.

Yes, if you good with the motorcycle, definitely recommended

Honestly, 1-2 hours sightseeing in each temple is more than enough

Yes, possible to get away if you don't look like farang
Anyways, I got IDL and I never had to use it in indo...

1. Merapi is much, much harder than Kinabalu
2. Don't understand your question, are you're asking if it's advisable to take train from surabaya to jogja? If so, then yes. In indo, train is more comfortable and in a lot of cases, faster than bus
3. Their trains are quite punctual, no worries

Yes, it's quite safe, no worries

Yes, can try in malioboro mall

Go malioboro or alun alun , but to me, it's quite normal only
