The second destination - Mountain Bromo Volcano ( a good 5-hour-drive from Mountain Kawah Ijen - the one where we did our hiking and climbing that almost got me killed ) so we basically spend most of our time sleeping in the car since we didnt sleep well during the day.
Mountain Bromo Volcano is one of the quiet but active volcanoes situated in East Java, Indonesia. Also, this is the must-visit-volcanoes in Indonesia and one of the world's very well known mountains for it's grand landscapes view from the high mountain peaks. Can't really explain it in details to describe the beautiful surroundings that came into view it's just beyond words. Silence would be too boring but this place really has a music all it's own. You just have to stop caring about anything except those things that are right infront of you.

We were told that this mountain just erupted few months ago and this is the most vibrant time of year to visit. How lucky. One thing good about this Bromo adventure, we don't really need to susah payah climb all the way up to reach the top unlike Mountain Ijen that nearly make me appears in the international paper with the subject line : " Hiker went missing during the Ijen Climbing. " Believe it or not I've already prepared the best photo of me for them to use if anything should happen.
2.30am ( 5'C ) ; It was a cold foggy morning. The morning remained uncomfortably cold i had to wrap my thick layer tight around myself to keep myself warmer. It was only an hour ago before it stopped raining but the wind that was gently blowing after the rain had been cold enough to raise goose bumps as we stepped out of the room. After a quiet night's sleep we awoke to a cold misty morning and trust me, this makes it harder for everyone to get out from bed and by this time, the jeep that supposed to pick us up from the hotel to the Mountain Bromo was already there waiting for us.
*It was an hour jeep ride up to the mountain and the jeep experience was the bomb.com! First stop, The Bromo viewing platform. Well, too cold and too foggy to see anything. We didn't stay long enough to wait until the sun rises from behind of the mountain when we were expecting to catch the vibrant beauty of the few mountain peaks, with huge disappointment we then headed further up by jeep ride to reach another point of the Bromo area that requires you to climb, haha luckily a bit only PHEW!
There's many things you can see when reaching the higher part of mountain and we managed to take a few photos when the jeep was moving along the zig zag mountain path reaching the top.
The dark sky had gone slightly quickly today when the early morning sunlight shone through the fog brighten up this small little corner of this beautiful world.
Sight-seeing major grand landscapes that didn't include the chirping sound of birds and crickets, breathtaking view, nonetheless
The next destination ( still within the same area but different spot to view the same mountain from )
MEGA MINDBLOWING!
Lulu : eh why you always smile like an idiot whenever you take photo of yourself ?
ME : That's the trick to make my face looks smaller.
Now you know why.
I hold my breath for way too long i nearly suffocated and die.
Me conquering the mountain!
US ! Love them to bits!
Me and the FnF hidden cast
Power la using one hand to drive the manual Jeep.
It was another few minutes drive to a further point where we need to climb the mountain.
Actually you know what, not too bad because we were given a choice to either walk or horse-riding.
You surely know which one i will choose.
Meet my blackie. Quite hard to take a photo while me riding on him.
A clearer shot phew finally.!
That's the mountain Batok ( also one of the tourist attractions ) located just right next to the Bromo Volcano. The greenery of the mountain instantly adding some color to the whole nature landscape to make it more vibrant.
Just, magnificent.
View from the top
The smell of rotten eggs again aiyo buaytahan *Coughing like nobody business
You know i really hate washing clothes and trust me, this is that kinda smell that makes you want to throw your all your clothes that cost around thousand over into the drain and don't mind spending the same amount of money plus GST to buy a new similar one.
If you fall, you die. That's it.
Please catch me if i slip and fall into the volcano hole just right next to me, the big hole quite deep hor.
This is the hole im talking about.
Confirm die.
Ask them come join us they fight and he merajuk pulak haih...Not gonna jio couple to any of the similar trips anymore. Spoil everything LOL
Amazing panoramic photos
When you're having a hard time you can try to redirect your mind and thought to the simple things in life and that could involve standing up on the mountain peak taking in the wonders of nature, listening to the chirping sound of birds viewing the wide green field full of flowers.
At the same time appreciating what you have given in life and continue to be grateful for everything that comes to you.
