Day 77 – Indonesia

December 21, 2009 - Cemoro Lawang, Java, Indonesia

Today may be the highlight of our trip so far.

Why?

Because today Eric and I stood on the lip of an active volcano!

Just the two of us!

With no other people around!

The sulphur smoke spewing all over and the hole of the volcano was completely visible!

We walked across the desolate landscape of the crater, past the Indonesian army – they were doing exercises at the base of the volcano (what is it with us running into the military?) – and up a long staircase that took you right up to the edge.

It was an absolutely breath-taking experience, like something right out of the “Lord of the Rings” and we couldn’t get enough of it!!
