#^Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano shrinks to quarter-size after eruption | DW | 29.12.2018
During our last trip to Indonesia 3 years ago we spent a few days in the Java region which got hit this time. It was a bit astonishing for me how many signs have been there for tsunami evacuation routes. But just few days before we arrived, there was a mud slide coming down from the hills and also creating a lot of devastation.
