21 06 2009 Mount Bromo

No tourists on Java? Yes, at least when you talk about Western tourists....

Then...suddenly...in the middle of the night, they all appeared.

Arriving on top of Mount Bromo, a superbe mountain side with some still active volcanoes, via 4WD at 4:30am in the morning...shocked highly....cos there were about 200 more jeeps.

Despite those 1000 folks around us, the sunrise combined with some clouds around the hilltops was an amazing spot....peaceful....

and ´made us forget about the "comfortable" beds, cold showers, nice toilets (you have to flush with a bucket of water from the sink)....

Reminded me strongly of Bolivia....great day!!....at least until lunch time.....,-)

...then we made us direction Bali...and took a wrong decision of not spending the 2 extra dollars for the "direct" bus...

8 hours for 250km....sucks badly!
