Mount Bromo in East Java

June 2008 : Mount Bromo, Semeru National Park

Coming here was a little of a surprise to me, I took up the chance of coming here when someone I knew decided to invite me on their trip. Mount Bromo has always been one of the places I wanted to visit, I had even put it down as one of the places I wanted to visit before I die.

The trip was quite short and I had wished that we could have spent a little more time here instead of just half a morning. We had spent 10 hours driving here, arriving only at 8pm the night before, waking up at 3am for the sunrise view of the three volcanos. In the 3 day tour around the region , I spent more than 20 hours travelling around in the van more than I had touring the places. This was the regret I had of coming here.

Well, there is always the next time.

A few minutes before sunrise, at the middle far left , you probably can make up some village lights.
