Surabaya. After landing we

being picked up by our

loyal yet humble & honest

guide, Mas Kaboel aka

Aruna Asa. Our first stop is

Ibu Nuraini restaurant at

Sedati, Surabaya (nearby

the airport). My fellow friendhad some fond memories of

this restaurant since it is

among the main pitstop

whenever they visit Jawa

Timur. The main popular

dish in this restaurant is its

Rujak Cingur (dish make

from cow nose). After

booking hotel at a nearbyhotel for our stay later, we

went straight to Bromo. The

journey is quite a long one

taking about 6 hours (if not

mistaken).

Since we charted a mini

bus (it was only 9 of us.. yet we charted this mini bus for comfort) , we need to

change the bus midway as the bus cant go further through the steep road.

We check in to a posh hotel Cemara Indah Hotel in Cemoro Lawang. It was

among the most expensive hotel within the area (300,000 rupiah per room per

night) but it is well worth it as it located just beside the crater overlooking Mt

Bromo,Mt Semeru and Mt Batuk.

Mount penanjakan at 3:30 am. Mount Penanjakan is the main view point of

Bromo. At 2770m, it provide excellent view of Bromo, Semeru and Batuk. The

jeep bring us very near to its view point location. Just need to hike the cement

staircase for 15 minutes and you'll reach the view point.
