Mt Bromo - a smouldering giant
... to take the local ponies to the base of the mountain, what a mistake. Oscar and I were put on our respective ponies and off we were sent, Oscar faired quite well cantering across the sands.

Mon premier volcan

We walked down and despite the smoke making us splutter and the steepness killing our legs we felt the same exhilaration ...
On the Rocks
After a 10 hour taxi ride we arrived in
Bukit Lawang which is the access point to the Orangutang forest. On
arrival a couple of chaps helped us carry our baggage... thankfully
