Day 1 Kertosono - Surabaya - Kuala Lumpur
Kertosono - Surabaya - Kuala Lumpur. Monday, 8 October 2012.
Today I begin my journey to South Korea. I can not tell you much, because this whole day, I will be flying with AirAsia. We should carry a neck pillow. So we can use that to reduce fatigue and can save more energy.

Volcano time
... from the fumes.
Sunrise over Gunung Bromo the following day was promoted as the highlight of the trip, and it certainly didn't disappoint.

... 8 to Post #9 was easy. It is a flat path. Problem was it is only 500 meters long. From Post #9 we started to walk on another 60-degree ascent. However, the view and vegetation was so fantastic that we would forget about all the pain and remember only the amazement to the vegetation and the view. Eidelweiss, wild roses, and red leave plants (I don't know the name of it) mixed with colourful moss and different shaped and sizes of stone have made it to Arjuno. It ...
