It is 3 am in the morning and we are on our way to see the Sunrise at Mt Bromo in our old Toyota Land Cruiser.The roads were bumpy and we were huddled together with a German and French couple.Those two have been picked up by our driver from Yoschi Lodge on the way to the view point.These old battered Land cruisers were maintained in good condition by these guides and immaculately they were clean and colourful.

Win The little Big Battle - Climbing Mt.Bromo,Indonesia
After finishing the Sun rise tour which was covered with heavy fog which made me disappointed,we moved through the whispering Havannah to reach the base of Mt.Bromo.Fog had covered the hill tops but the ground level vicinity was excellent.Nearly 50 Four wheel drive Range rovers were parked near the barbed fencing and our jeep also joined.Immediately we got down and started walking towards the volcano base.But we could not walk fast as the ground was covered with dark black volcano ash which slowed us heavily.

Normally caves remind us of our Neanderthal period of living, away from civilisation..Yes it was true and were taken back to that era once we saw the entrance of Sagada caves.Uneven rocks protruding and a nascent crack in the hills and pitch dark.Once we enter,a oblivion surrounds us.I am going to explore the beauty inside.
