Cemero Lewang, Indonesia - a trip to Gunung Bromo, July 07, 2010

Another day of long hours on a bus and another place. I bought a ticket to Denpasar, Bali, and it included a visit to Gunung Bromo - an active volcano. The cost is basically the same as if you would do it by yourself. It includes the hotel and much less hassle. It was 320,000 Rupiah, plus 90,000 for a jeep and 25,000 park entrance fee.
 
We left Yogyakarta in the morning and arrived at a small town called Probolingo. Then, changed the van to another one, and taken to a smaller place called Cemoro Lewang to a hotel. The next day, we left in a jeep to a lookout (about 12 kilometers away) at about 4 AM. It took about an hour to get there, to be on time to see the sunrise.
 
At the top, where the temperature was just a few degrees above zero (due to the higher altitude - about 2700 meters), we waited for te promised great view of the sunrise over the volcanoes. Well, 5:15 passed, then 6:00, and all we could see was a fog. The whole area was covered by clouds. Very disappointed, we stared to climb down back to the jeep.
 
At around 6:30, just a very short ride from the top, things started looking good. We stopped the jeep and spent some time until almost all fog was gone. What an awesome sight!

My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path.
