Sunrise, volcanos and horse riding...


Hey hey... it's been quite an exciting and tiring Sunday for me :) Left Surabaya at 12am for a 4 hours drive to Mt. Bromo to catch the sunrise at 2800meters above sea level. 7 of us, a driver, an Avanza, a 4x4 hard top and 5 1/2 hours later, we made it just in the nick of time to awe ourselves with the scenic and breath taking view.
After daylight greeted us, we were left with another jaw dropping picturesque view of the volcano Mt. Semeru which stands just above 8600 meters above sea level accompanied with her sister moutains. Attached you will be able to see Mt Semeru and Mt. Bromo passing gasses... haha.
Took a horse ride up to one of the lower sister volcano moutain Mt. Bromo. Me and my new found mode of transportation seem to be getting along very well. I find myself enjoying back horse riding. Quite easy to master once you are able to communicate with the horse. Actually, communication here means getting the horse to do what you want them too :)
More photos are avaliable in my facebook... do check them out!
