December 20, 2009 - Yogyakarta to Cemoro Lawang, Java, Indonesia
Today is going to be a long travel day.
We start with an 8 hour bus ride to Surabaya. We then take a 2 hour bus ride to Probolinggo. And from there, we have to take 2 hour minibus ride to Cemoro Lawang.
Cemoro Lawang is the mountain village at the base of Mount Bromo, which is the reason we’re going. Mt. Bromo is an active volcano and we are really looking forward to checking it out.
Fortunately, no major incidences occur on the bus rides, unless you count the minibus breaking down on an uphill turn in the pitch black of the evening along the mountain road to Cemoro Lawang.
After all we’ve been through with buses, we don’t.
Instead we arrive safe and sound and enjoy a nice dinner with the other tourists from our minibus – a couple from France on a two-year-plus travel excursion and two Australian girls on school break. After a long day sitting on our butts in a bus, it’s very fun to be sitting on our butts in a restaurant, swapping travel “war stories” over rice and beer.
