Woke up at 3.00 a.m., my friends and I were prepared to continue our journey to the viewpoint at Mount Penanjakan, to witnessed the most well known Mount Bromo and other volcanoes during sunrise.
By taking the jeep tour, we moved at 3.30 a.m. and took around 45 minutes to 1 hour to reached the viewpoint. On the way to the viewpoint, there was nothing much to see as the surrounding was dark and the air temperature was about 5°C with a high wind at that time.
At the viewing platform, many people were very excited waiting for the sun to rise. Everyone were looking for a secure spot in the already crowded deck. Cameras were checked to get the best shot of the view. Not only the foreigners were eagerly waited for that moment but the locals also were enjoying the scenery.
After seeing enough of the views, we headed to the Mount Bromo.
At 8.00 a.m., we arrived at the lower slope of the Mount Bromo. We took a walk across the slick volcanic sands to the base of the mountain's cone. But some people chose to ride a horse instead. Once at the cone, we climbed a rather steep stairway to reach the top of the Mount Bromo to view into the crater.
It was amazing.
