    Bandung - white Crater

    October 19, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    As I was still suffering from a sore throat from Jakarta's A/C, I needed some rest for recovery in Bandung.
    But finally it was time to visit the other volcano at Bandung.
    Went there with two other travelers by scooter, had a nice ride and some fun with some guys and some kids at a random shop on the way, we've chosen for rest place.
    Unfortunately we were not able to go up to the crater on our own scooters, but the 4km bus ride was a nice experience, too. 😎
    White crater has less activities, so people can walk directly into it, it also is very well developed for tourists and some, mostly local, tourists were around.
    As we're still in dry season, here, there was not too much water in the crater, so the sulfate soaked grounds of the crater was very good visible.
    Walking up to the view point was a nice little hike, view was amazing and Jasper, Inge and me had a lot of fun. 😊
    While having a quick dinner at the base of the volcano two cute girls made a lot of fun with us, enjoying the attention. As both of them were deaf-mute it was amazing to see, how they communicated with each other in sign language and trying it with us, too. Showed again, that there's always a way to communicate, if you're willing and if you try hard.
    Riding back to the hostel during darkness was another experience, on these roads and with some crazy driving styles from locals.😅
