This is a working coffee plantation, it produces coffee. You can see the entire proces from the coffee plant to the roasted coffee bean. You can also taste their coffee in the cafe. They have all their coffee there to taste and you can chose how the coffee is made for you, from Indonesia way as kopi tubruk, as filtered, or French press. There is also a restaurant where you can eat a bit. The factory can be visited as well to see the roasting and milling. In the factory there is all the coffee they produce for you to smell and of course you can buy the coffee here, in powder, or as whole beans. Coffee in the form of powder can also be bought in the cafe.There is a small packet and a bigger one. I bought small packages of all to taste at home and bought a kilo of whole beans from the most nicest smelling coffee. There is also a museum with a lot of stuff from the past and many of that stuff is Dutch. Also the sign board on the entrance gate is still in Dutch and from the past. Some buildings at the plantation are also still from the Dutch area and build by the Dutch. Street names inside the plantation and some signs boards in building have still Dutch names or writings. And the name itself Keboen Kopi Karanganjar, is still the old Dutch writing. In modern Indonesia, keboen (garden) is nowadays written as kebun. For me that was interesting to see as I am Dutch but also partly Indonesian. Besides the museum there is also a small souvenir shop and there is coffee education, where they explain al about coffee. We have also met the current owner, who is now the third generation. That was very interesting and he took the time to speak with us. All the employees here where very friendly and helpful. We stayed here about 4 hours. We came already in the afternoon and so towards the evening there was an enormous sound of all sorts of animals and insects living in the trees in and around the plantation. That was also a nice experience. I can strongly recommend this interesting place. It is interesting about coffee, it is nature, and it is calm and relaxing.

This is a rather small temple complex but it is one of the oldest in Kabupaten Blitar. The surrounding gardens where very beautiful despite the dry season, and very well maintained. There where at first no other visitors, so it was also very calm. It was very hot on the day we visited it, and there is almost no shade. I don't think is it forbidden, but out of respect I did not wear a hat. To have some peace and calm and do a few prayers, whatever your religion is, this is a good place. It is not very easy to find, and several roads to get here are with stones. But people where working on the roads, so by now it might be a lot better. Just give it a go.

Sukarno's tomb is impressive, and so is the museum and the entire complex! There is a massive tourist market at the exit of the tomb that sells all kinds of Sukarno and Indonesian political souvenirs. My husband and I were the only non-Indonesians at the site and were treated with great hospitality and curiousity.
