Bromo: Volcanoes at sunrise
... lakes and 50 rivers." The minibus groaned its way up the winding single lane road up the mountain and we finally arrived in Cemoro Lawang, the village on the lip of the crater. Hotel prices are hugely inflated but the views are staggering, so we ...
Brilliant Bromo
... few Bintangs (the beer of choice in Indo) on the terrace together and bundled up in long pants and sweaters since our first time in Indonesia. Though it was dark out when we arrived, I could tell that the view had to be amazing and the next day, as I ...

Gunung Bromo - A beautiful setting
... missing the rest of the journey to reach the volcano. As soon as we arrived to the airport we were offered a taxi ride to Cemoro Lawang. After negotiating the price and since the 2 tourist offices were closed we agreed to take the offer. Instead of a ...
Up and hiking before Dawn!
... and hospitality of the people of Bali, we thought that the tour operators, who run the jeeps and hotels in Cemoro Lawang, were very grasping. Absolutely everything was overpriced and of very inferior quality, in comparison with other places we have ...
No road rage but plenty of rogue trade
... however, that our driver is by far an isolated case but a typical example of a widely spread reckless attitude to driving in Indonesia. To add a further frisson of excitement to the journey, our minibus had a poor excuse for air conditioning and extremely ...
Volcano!
After a 15 hour squishy mini bus drive we arrived at our hostel Cafe Lava in Cemoro Lawang at 10pm, we were very tired and had planned to get up early to catch the sunrise so went straight to bed. The next day at 3.30am we got up to catch our jeep ride to ...

Italy v's Russia in Bromo
... bus back I finally made it. From there I had to take one more bus up the mountain to get to the village of Cemero Lawang. This would have been fine except that the buses only leave once they are full and there was a serious lack of other passengers ...
Beautiful Bromo
We heard of Bromo being described as a "lunar" landscape.....and I guess that's right. It certainly doesn't look like something from this world! The Bromo volcano is just one of peaks in the Tengger Crater, its not that big but its certainly beautiful. ...
So this is where all the tourists are...
So in the space of a few days we've had a 10 hour train journey, a 4.30am start, and now a 10 hour bus journey followed bt a 3.00am start!! (And we're supposed to be on holiday...!) But, my word, it was worth it...... Arrived at night so couldn't see ...
Bromo, Batok and the bucket showers!
Our journey from Jogja to Cemoro Lawang, in particular the night train, definitely goes to the top of Lou's "worst journey list". Despite a couple of warnings about the comfort levels not being quite what we were used to we opted to travel "business" ...
Gunung Bromo
... we all had the windows open trying to cool down. The journey was horrendous, it took 12 hours and we only stopped once!!! Cemero Lawang is a little village right on the edge of the Tengger crater. We came here to climb Gunung Bromo, one of the three ...
Climbing Mt. Bromo
Hiked 12 miles beginning at 2am to see Mount Bromo at sunset which turned out to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Then the next day I took an over night bus to ...
Night hike to the most glorious sunrise

Mont Bromo
On quitte Jogja avec un tour organise, histoire pour une fois d'economiser du temps et de l'argent. Longue journee de bus jusqu'au mont Bromo, d'ou l'on peut voir parait-il un epoustouflant lever de soleil. Vu qu'il pleut depuis 3 jours non-stop, on est ...
Mount Bromo
... quite happily. Not what you expect to see on the rim of a volcano though! Most volcano sunrise experiences in Indonesia require an early start to reach a view point for sunrise and Gunung Penanjakan was no different. It required ...
Cemoro Lawang, Java, Indonesia
Spent the day and night in Cemoro Lawang. There really is not much to see here other than just taking in the "village" ambiance and enjoying the mountain cool air. Many people take the tours to Mount Bromo from here as it is just a ...
