Tuqu Hotel Malang

... the worst room that we have slept in so far. It was about 10 x 10 which meant it basically just included a bed. The view however made it all worth it. Just out our door were three mountains which were enclosed by a 10 km crater. We had two things that we wanted to do in Cemara Lawang, but we had wanted to spend the least time possible in our accommodations. We chose to climb Mount Bromo as soon as we got organized. We put on our nice new ...

Before I confirm I need to get to an ATM machine. Instead I decide to go for breakfast (Helios forgot to serve me breakfast this morning!!!!) I decide to go have breakfast at ...

... seen anything like this before. You have too look at the pictures of these things. The final animal of note was the Civet. It looks just like a weasel. This weasel is interesting because they are what makes the Kopi Luwak coffee. For those of you that have seen bucket list, this is the coffee that Jack drinks. The weasel eats the coffee beans and poops it out. They use his fecal matter for the new coffee beans. Its supposed to ...

... dojeli do Cemoro Levangu, tak jsme zjistili, ze nas v agenture ponekud natahli, protoze ten samy program nam byl na miste nabidnut o neco levneji. Nebyla to nejaka zavratna castka, ale ostatnim cestovatelum doporucujeme v Probolingu si dopredu nic neobjednavat. :-) Jinak silnice do Cemoro Lawangu je uzka a samy vymol, ale vede nadhernou hornatou krajinou a museli jsme obdivovat mistni farmare, jaci jsou sikovni a zvladaji pestovat ruzne plodiny na skoro svislych ...

... Buktinya, para pengunjung rela menunggu sejak pukul 5 pagi menghadap sebelah timur agar tidak kehilangan moment ini. Anda pun tidak selalu bisa melihat peristiwa ini, karena bila langit berawan, kemunculan matahari ini tidak terlihat secara jelas. Namun, saat langit cerah, Anda dapat melihat bulatan matahari yang pertama-tama hanya sekecil ...

I heard someone shout "grab the raft" which i did, gathered my breath, looked round & all of us were there. Phew. I must have been under for over a ...

May 24 - ...so I get on the mini bus and after a while we start heading up the mountain. We stop along the way a pick up passengers, mostly school children. The view is amazing and we eventually reach Cemoro Lawang, the mountainside village where there are a few places to stay near the volcano Mt. Bromo. I check in, paying more for a room with a hot shower, and chat with a nice guy from Scotland over breakfast. Then I decided to hike over to the volcano. The area ...
