Locals dashing across the ‘Sea of Sand’ on motorbikes in Bromo. In the backdrop is the beautiful Mt Batok (2440m)<\/strong> which we conquered out of frustration for the closure of Mt Semeru.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rare flowers being sold at the foothill of Mt Bromo. They are said to have been plucked from Mt Semeru. Make a wish while throwing them into the crater of Mt Bromo and your wish might just come true. I did buy a cluster and threw it into the crater but it was purely for a picture and out of sympathy for the seller who had resiliently stood up there despite the cold windy air.<\/p>\n

Me cat-walking myself up the stairs to the crater of Bromo. Do not expect yourself to be physically challenged here. Even a toddler can do it. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Crowds viewing the sun rising over Bromo from the viewpoint at\u00a0Mt Penanjakan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"P1280286\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jeeps parked on the roadside while waiting for passengers to return from viewing the sunrise at Mt Penanjakan.<\/p>\n

\"P1280444\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Father and son with whom we shared a jeep in Bromo taking pictures of each other at Safana<\/strong>. My admiration to the bonding between them. Coming from Jakarta, their communication was more like a friend to a friend instead of a father to a son but still maintaining the mutual respect for each other.<\/p>\n

\n

\"P1280494\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Horses to take you to the foothill of Mount Bromo. Jeeps are not allowed to go any closer to the mountain than from here so you have the option of going to the crater by walking or riding a horse. Of course some fee applies.<\/p>\n

\n

\"P1280505\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The temple at the Sea of Sand with the smoky Mt Bromo in the background. It didn’t really look appealing to us so we skipped it (the temple).<\/p>\n

\n

\"P1280625\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A concrete pillar on top of Mt Batok. I’m not sure what purpose does its existence serve there though. There were some rare assortment of offerings which includes – a bottle of locally brewed Bintang beer. Slurp! LOL<\/p>\n

The balancing act<\/p>\n
