Back at hotel not long after 9am. Could have had a lie in & seen this. Would have missed out on all the fun though grin

Wednesday 11 March 2015

Such a grey day deserves a set of B&W shots. Amazing experience though & easily worth early start & wet conditions.

Final area of Mt Bromo crater: volcanic sands said to whisper, when they are not soaked! + more FJ40s for their fans.

6 guests, driver & guide squeezed into an FJ40. Sitting in back an old Landcruiser always feels like an adventure wink

Savannah section of the Mt Bromo crater. Apparently it's beautiful & green here even when not raining constantly wink

Despite the inclement weather took short (~30 mins) walk up to rim of Mt Bromo... where it was equally grey & wet!

A small glimmer of sun on an otherwise rainy day & here's the result. So there is some consolation to this weather!

Bit of a melee down at the base of the volcano. Rain & mist persisting too. Top spot for fans of Toyota FJ40s though!

Escaping to below the mist. Down in the crater that surrounds Mt Bromo, obligatory 'sitting on the bonnet' 4WD shot.

2am wakeup for 4WD journey up a mountain to see sunrise. But all we saw was mist. Oh well, had a good time waiting smile
