Bromo – Awesome Indonesian Volcano
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!

Air Asia flies to Surabaya regularly from Jakarta so you too can visit Bromo, Indonesia. Check out their website for a cheap airfare!
I was in bromo yesterday. But I didn’t go to Segara Wedi. Just went to Volcanology Office to request permit for my college filed trip.
