Day 6:
  Today we revisited Mt Merapi to acquire a more clearer view of Mt Merapi, but it turns out that it was covered with a thick cloud which was much more worse than yesterday's visit. Although it did not turned out well, we still get to experienced a closer view of the 2 hills near Mt Merapi.
  After we ate lunch, we visited the Benteng Vreteburg Meseum in which we learnt the difficult road to independence that Indonesia had to go through to achieve independence from dutch colonial rule. We also learnt of the sacrifices the Indonesians made for such an achievement in which they were very proud of.
  After that, we went to Marlioboro street to shop around for unique trinkets and shirts. We also got to experience bargaining to a great extent such that we can bargain to half the initial price. There were also many special items and keychains, especially souvenirs in the street. We got to also see traditional clothing and their wet markets which were extremely crowded with people.
 After the shopping frenzy, we headed to a silver factory where we saw how was silver made into many different shapes and sizes. We also bought souvenirs for ourselves and our family members back home. Some of us also went to a near by coffee shop where we bought a very unique coffee.
We ended off with a scrumptious dinner and headed back to the hotel.
