After spending 3 full days in Bali, we continue our holiday trip to Surabaya. Journey from Bali to Surabaya took us almost 8 hours. For our Surabaya trip which we will be going to Mt Bromo to be exact, we book a tour package because we dont have any idea how to travel to Mt Bromo from Bali. The tour package cost us IDR 1,585,000 per person which include transport and one night stay at Mt Bromo.
Mount Bromo is an active volcano.

The tour agent pick us at Ubud on 8 am and drove us to nearby jetty in Bali which took us almost 3 hours from Ubud. Then, we took one-hour ferry ride to Ketapayang Jetty, Surabaya. And finally 4 hours car ride to Mt Bromo. What a long long journey kan? Took us almost 8 hours in total..
We stayed at Bromo Permai which situated on the peak of the mountain which I'm not really sure the name of the mountain, but I'm confident it is not Mt Bromo because we can have a view of Mt Bromo from our hotel. Our hotel located slightly higher than Mt Bromo. So cool. We arrived the hotel around 6pm and wind is really really cool. As cold as winter season. Im shivering on my way to the hotel room cause i didn't bring any thick clothes to keep me warm except my cardigan.
We had slices of pizza and hot chocolate for dinner at the hotel restaurant for dinner. We need to sleep early that night because we had to leave the hotel room by 400 am the next morning for sunrise at Mt Bromo.
So, around 400 am the next morning, the tour agent drove us to the peak of one mountain nearby Mt Bromo for sunrise view using a super cool jeep. Unfortunately, we arrived there a bit late, and the car park on the peak already occupied by other tourist, maybe because it is on weekend.
It's okay. We just stopped by the road on our way down heading to Mt Bromo. However, we can't even see the sunrise because the weather is not that good that morning.

We continue our journey to Mt Bromo. I'm really excited to see and experience the environment around Mt Bromo because it is totally different from typical Indonesia or Malaysia environment. I feel like I'm far far away from Indonesia or Malaysia. Hmmm, i have feeling of being in Tibet while walking up to Mt Bromo. I haven't being in Tibet before. Just the view of people wearing winter clothes, 4WD jeep, horses, cold wind sounds soo significant with Tibet. Haha. Suke hati je bust judgement sendiri kan?
There is no trees, no houses, there is nothing around Mt Bromo area. Except a temple on the foothills of Mt Bromo and this temple still remains since hundred years ago tho been swiped by Mt Bromo volcanic lava, the temple still stand strong till today.

*can you see the volcano mouth?*
*this not volcano, just an ordinary mountain beside Mt Bromo*
Journey to Mt Bromo will be our most memorable moments to be shared because not everyone chose to visit volcano to be a part of holiday trip.
Till then.
Thank you.
