Surabaya - Sunrise at Mount Bromo (Penanjakan View Point)
3am in the
morning, our guide gave us a morning call by knocking on our hotel
room…freaking cold @.@ After some preparation, we wrapped ourselves under thick
sweaters and stepped out of the room.
Hopped onto
a little jeep and started our journey to Penanjakan view point :) after around
half an hour ride on the jeep, we reached the car park…spent another 45minutes
hike up to the view point. The distance is nothing if compared to the cold
weather, estimated temperature is less than 10°C (still consider critical for
Malaysian like us lol).
Reached
Penanjakan view point around 5am, 2700++m above sea level, woohoo :)
Breaking
dawn… wait patiently for the sunrise. There are quite a lot of people up there,
mainly because of weekend?
We had a
good weather that morning. Oh, is the moon up there, not the sun, haha.
This is
what we waiting for… the first ray of sunlight on the volcanoes!!
Rays of
light through the clouds, amazing view :)
The sun
brighten up the mountains slowly and warm up the earth.
Magnificent
view of the volcanoes early in the morning.
Soft
reminders:
i)
The
weather is cold, please bring along your sweater and gloves. There is sweater
rental service all the way up to the view point, if you need it.
ii)
Wear
a pair of good hiking/sport shoes.
iii)
Bring
along some snacks and water for hiking, limited stores available up there.
iv)
Bring
your lip balm to protect your lips, haha.
We left
Penanjakan view point around 6.15am, hopped onto our little brown jeep again
and heading to Mount Bromo!! We are going to hike up to Mount Bromo this time,
not a view point anymore!!
