INDONESIA, JAVA

Hi,
In Yogyakarta they offer tour packages to do Gunung Bromo and Gunung Ijen in 3 days until Denpasar, Bali. Again climbing the Vulcanoes through the night to see the sunrise!!! I think the Indonesians are keen on sunrises :-)
But we didn't want to pay the package, because you pay always more than without. So we did the same tour but we organized everything on our own!
At Gunung Bromo we had a couch where we slept for 2 or 3 hours. We found the viewpoint. And it was a beautiful sunrise.
Than around 2 hours later we tried to get to our next busstop! But the local bus only leaves if there are 16 people in it. We had been 6 and it would have taken ages until the bus would left.... So we stopped private cars and asked them. After 5 minutes we found someone who took us down to the village with the busterminal!
Then we needed to get the right bus (with the right price) to our next destination Bangiwangi, where also the ferry to Bali leaves. In a hotel Patrick organized a car and then again climbing the vulcano by night. This time we were unlucky. Rainy, foggy, no beautiful sunrise and no blue fire! :-( thats nature!!!
The car droped us at the ferry station and in Bali Patrick needed to bargain hard for the bus to Denpasar. Finally we are in Kuta now. Here we need to wait for our passports, because we get the visaextension!!! (Also we are 3 days too late :-) great)
Thats it so far. We relax at the beach now!
See you
