Bromo Lewang

Bromo Lewang is the home of one of the most impressive sights of volcanic activity in Indonesia. Indonesia as a whole is clustered with volcanoes. (you can read about them on the side of the newspaper at home). The active Bromo lies in a valley that is routinely flooded by lava, so you can see the remedies of past eruptions at all times. We then walked up to the ridge and circled it a little bit. Steam is coming out at all times in a big display of thermal energy (potential). In the morning I got up to enjoy the beautiful sunrise over the foggy valley. Afterwords I was of back down to high temperatures and 12 hours later - world famous Bali.
