Gunung Bromo volcano.



After say good bye to Bella and Jan in the bus station I went straight on to Probolingo village. Apparently, I could take a bemo there for arrive to the base of Gunung Bromo volcano.

Like every time in Java I had to take the bus for move into. My obsession was to travel with the locals, I mean, with the public buses that use the Indonesian people. That one was an overnight bus from 6pm to 5am. Although, I was prepared for suffer, the bus was one of the craziest than I’ve never taken. In every two seats we travelled three people and I had to go in the middle of a couple. Also the corridor was full of bags, food packs and alive chickens…

Here occurred what I wanted to explain few posts before. In the middle of the night, around 1am, happened that when I was trying to sleep I started to think about Karma, the destiny, the energy, the good things that I did and the good thing that I got by fortune.

In resume, I guessed that something unfortunately had to occur me, don’t ask me why.

Three minutes after one guy left the bus and I felt that something was running bad. I felt that he had stolen my mobile and I didn’t realize… Should that confirm that Karma is present in our lives? Do I have to have faith in destiny? I just want to keep in my mind that it was a big coincidence and an enormous weird energy in these instant.

I arrived to Probolingo three hours early. It was 2pm and nothing opened in the street. I found the place where the bemos leave and I joined the two locals around there until 7pm. It was a comfortable bamboo bench.

The most annoying moment arrived that morning when I had to negotiate during three hours for get a driver who could drive us for less than 12 people or less than 300.000 rupiah (30$)0in total. The roles in the Indonesian villages are the roles and if you don’t like, get out from here, they told me…


Bromo was ok. 2km walking through the sand desert and a short climb for get to the crater. There I had my own adventure going down a little bit. It was worthy for the picture that I got.

Like everyone knows… the fun is how to get to the places not the place.
