Day 54: Gunung Bromo & Bus to Bali
This is a top pick! ... in that much pain from that many different ailments before. The Mt Bromo sunrise was not only one of the main reasons I'd chosen Indonesia over Vietnam though, but also the main reason I came to urban industrial Java at all as opposed to going straight to ...
On the edge
This is a top pick! We hopped off the bus from Bali at a town called Probolingo around 5:15 in the morning. There we were met by an ambassador, who made small talk to establish rapport then collected commission on everything we did. He even hopped on the bemo to ...
Moonscapes and volcanoes!
This is a top pick! ... stunning volcanic landscape like something you've never seen before and to quote the guide book 'one of the most impressive sights in Indonesia'. It's so bizarre our photos don't even look real! The journey up there is one of the most steep & windy ...

Rafting plus city tour
Alright, this post will have PICTURES!!! Also, I added pictures to the album here. So on Friday of last week (9/30), some of the kids I knew took me to the cigarette museum. Oh, I don't know if I mentioned it before, but everyone here ...
Mount Bromo: der wunderschöne Vulkan
Hay, am nächsten Morgen ging es dann mal etwas später los, nämlich erst um 8.30. Wir genossen ein leckeres Frühstück in unserer Unterkunft und wurden dann abgeholt. Wir sind mit einem Minivan dann zum Vulkan gefahren bzw. in das Dorf, dass dort ...
A full moon and an early morning
... during a full moon and at 3 am made it all seem like a dream. Can something that beautiful feel true, I wonder? We left Probolinggo pretty early, got on a bus to Bali with the promise of getting there in time for the England game, which was broken about ...
lies and general dishonesty
So we booked ourselfs a nice comfy sleeper bus to probolinggo, we were told nice seats which recline all the way, A/C and toilets the whole thing. What we got was a lil mini van with some big fat loud mouth local girl who had to sit behind my seat (no ...
Vulkan Bromo
Kurz vor vier Uhr morgens erfassten meine Ohren eine freundliche Stimme: Good Morning!!! Etwas frueh, aber mit der Vorfreude auf einen einmaligen Ausflug, kam ich leicht aus den Federn. Nach einen typischen Fruehstueck, Toast mit Ei oder Pancake und The ...
Gunung Bromo
Waren nun 4 Tage im Caco und haben nun wiedereinmal ein Internet-Cafe erwischt. In Yogjakarta haben wir ja eine Minibus-Tour gebucht um zum Mount Bromo (aktiver Vulkan) zu gelangen. Die Fahrt lief relativ smooth, allerdings etwas laenger als erwartet. ...

... po 19tej, od razu z lotniska wzielismy autobus na dworzec autobusowy, tam dosc szybko znalezlismy transport do Probolinggo, z ktorego pozniej chcielismy dostac sie do wulkanu Bromo. Na Javie zostalismy milo zaskoczeni porzadkiem i dobra organizacja - nie ...

... the national park of Bromo and relax with a nice breeze hitting me, not a bad view for dining!! Next I got a public bus down to Probolinggo, which took an hour and a half. Then after deciding to get a train to near the ferry port went astray I went to ...
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 ...
Looking into Volcanoes
... with some very funny Greeks and a random night out with a Dutch guy, had met a grand total of zero fellow 'backpackers'. I'd chosen Indonesia to avoid the Full Moon orgies of Thailand, but this was a step too far... the odd 50 year dressed head to toe in ...
Gunung Bromo...not quite
... the volcanoes, but of course they were completely booked with the next round of package tours coming in. Next we were brought to Probolinggo, the nearest town, where we were joined with about 30 other travelers on a large bus to take us to the east coast ...
Stunning Sunrise & Volcanic Bromo!
We set out on our journey to the area of Bromo hoping that our 11 bus trip wouldn’t be too bad…..IT WAS!! It all started off ok we were comfy enough in our little mini van and had stopped a couple of times for food and drink. We were then ...
Probolinggo, Solo, and not a Tourist in Sight
... don't surf and caught the bus to the ferry terminal at Gilimanuk, Bali. Caught the ferry to Java and a bus to Probolinggo, famous for mangoes. There were absolutely no tourists in Probolinggo, a city of at least 100,000. A hardcore traveler ...
Change of temperature
... gateway to the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park. The ride on that minibus after a mildly uncomfortable bus ride from Yogya to Probolinggo, was just beautiful. Words, betray me, I can't describe you how relieving the sight of all those mountains, all ...
Volcano
After visiting Amelia in Jakarta, I really wanted to see some volcanoes in Indonesia so I was happy to find that a popular route to Bali goes via the active volcano Mount Bromo and this is all sold as a package for just 25! This includes minibus to Bromo, ...
Off to Java Boats, Trains and Buses
08:26 Everything has sprung into action, at 3.30am I got of bed and went with David and Donnie to the bus station. We got a local bus (a nice air con bus with reclining seats and hardly anyone on it) from Denpasar to gilimanuk for only 30,000 each! I had ...

Mt. Bromo
Saturday: Awoke at 1am and were picked up by a minibus (with 3 other couples) to Mount Bromo at 1:30am. Drove passed by night market (6am to 6pm) where fresh fruits and veggies brought in from the mountains are sold. Pretty neat to see ...
On top of an active volcano
Bromo! Never mind the extremely early start (3am)....it was more than worth it! We got a jeep to the first view point where we could see the sunrise (with a lot of other tourists). Such a weird landscape, it didn't look real at all! Back on the jeep to ...
Mt. Bromo
... in words, all I can say is wow! We ended the trip with the mud flow. This was a very stinky and hot place in Indonesia. The mud is still bubbly out of it. It was a sad sight to see. This weekend was exactly what I ...
Huge volcanoes, flat tires & a beautiful sunrise..
... roads surrounding our hotel. at 3pm, we loaded our bags on the top of a public bus and headed towards the travel agency in Probolinggo. the bus was more like a jeep, and the seats were so close together that there was pretty much no legroom in ...
Java - Mt. Bromo
... jam-packed. I ended up sitting on a wooden stool in the middle of the isle. It was only a 1 hour drive to Probolinggo, so it wasn't too bad. We were dreading our 8 hour bus ride back to Yogyja though thinking all of those people were ...
Bromo: My First Indonesian Volcano!
... right at the beginning of the volcano hike, so I was the only tourist in town. It was interesting. There's nothing to see in Probolinggo, the people sure were friendly. I took public transport to the centre of town, and everyone on the little bus was just ...
Another stop over
A took a bus and ferry over to Java and stayed the night in Probolinggo before we headed up to Mount Bromo the following day. The bus journey was an experience. Buskers and sellers jumping on and off throughout the journey, everyone starring at us from ...
One of the best experiences of my life
