Bromo, Indonesia, is a Volcano is located south of the city of Surabaya in East Java province.
It’s not a huge volcano, but the setting is spectacular – it feels like one is on the moon when walking through the valley that leads up to the volcano.
Here are some pics:
The volcano at Dawn. Bromo is the one that is smouldering:
Dawn reveals a captive audience:
Later on, you can be driven near the Bromo crater to climb to it and walk around. It’s a nice walk, or if you want to be lazy, you can hire a pony to then climb a lung-testing series of steps.
Looking right into the guts of the Bromo crater. If you really want to, you can throw some offerings in – a bunch of dried plants.
And anyone you don’t like!
Check out the odd lava flow:
The best bit is walking along the edge of Bromo – and not be overwhelmed by the odd spurt of rotten egg case entering your nostrils!
