Mount Bromo

Very long drive (13 hours!) from Jogja to the incredible mount Bromo.
We arrived in the evening in the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. We quickly went to bed as we needed to start hiking up at 3am to see the sunrise!
In the very early morning, we set off to hike up for an hour until we reach the view point. And about half an hour later, the most incredible sunrise I have ever seen. The colours were magical. The view around Mount Bromo became visible, and we were able to witness a surreal landscape, of three small volcanos in the foreground, and the highest volcano in Indonesia, mount Semeru, erupting in the background.
Later, we walk back down and through the amazing little village of Cemoro Lawang, in the daylight.
I would definitely come back to this place, it is incredible!Read more
