[In 2008] our school's Year 12 trip to Central Java was a memorable time. We stayed in Desa Kenalan which is one of the last villages up the side of Mt Merbabu. So it was real cold at night and early morning. Here's some pics (click on the to get bigger, clearer versions) -

From the front of our homestay looking out over the valley to Mt Sindoro and Mt Sumbing.

and up the other way looking up the slope of Mt Merbabu.

and at dusk.

Like I said, it was real cold. It got down to about 6 or 5 degrees C in the early morning and morning baths were excruciating. No hot water. Just pour the fresh, cold mountain water over your head and watch the steam emanate from your skin. Repeat and then go and stand in the sun to thaw out.
