BROMO Volcanic Mountain

2012-04-07T07:20:00.000-07:00

YES!! Bromo Mountain..u got it right. Gunung berapi yg masih AKTIF hingga hari ini (ggrrr ). Tapi kenapa Bromo? tak ada tempat lain lagi ke nak pergi? gunung berapi juga la yg nak di tengok! itu lah luahan kata2 mummy selepas kami kembali dari Bromo..hahaha..kesian mummy.

Dont know why akhir2 ini, adventure adrenaline begitu memuncak sekali especially selepas balik dari Bromo. Take a look at awesome Bromo pics here ;

This is Panajakan View Point. Di sini semua pengunjung akan berkumpul utk melihat matahari terbit. Yang bestnya sebaik saja matahari terbit,semua orang bertepuk tangan..haha terasa macam menonton Singing Concert pula. It was fun though. Pictures just cant justify everything i have seen here.

Tengok tu..ramai pengunjung yg tak henti2 menangkap gambar.Masa ni memang susah utk mendapatkan view yg terbaik.Masing2 berebut tempat.Hmmm..

who doesnt..if u know what i mean..

Sampai ada yg sanggup berposing atas pokok! haha..jaga weiii..

This time only 3 of us ( GTC - Girls' Travelling Club ) frm left : cousin Jass,Me & sis Nie

welcoming Bromo with 'muka sembab & pucat semacam' hahaha..( we got to wake up at 1.30AM ok )

Our ever-loving & caring tourist guide..hehe frm left : Beautiful boy Wahyu & Joker of all the days Pak Bian

Thank you guys..

We need to use Jeep from Panajakan to go down to Bromo

Leaving Panajakan View Point after the sunrise..going down to Bromo now..

Sekitar Panajakan..look..so many people because it was weekend

Jagung bakar..jagung bakar..( Rp5000 ) it was so tempting but my excitement to conquer Bromo overrides the feeling of eating right now..i cant wait to go down to Bromo right now..now..now..NOW!!!

Finally..HERE we are..in Bromo Sand Sea..welcome..welcome...

but..cousin Jass..why u look so stiff lah..hmmm..( pity her..she didnt sleep at all last night )

Yeah i got my White Horse..di sini kita boleh memilih samada hendak berjalan kaki atau menaiki kuda ke kaki gunung Bromo. Kita pilih Kuda sebab nak perasan kejap macam dalam Cowboy Film ;p

( Horse Riding charge - Rp150,000 - return )

Pemandangan menuju ke kawah gunung Bromo..ramai orang kan..unbelievable! can u notice where is top of Bromo?..look..nuuuunnn jauh di sana..hmmm nasib baik naik kuda..kalau jalan tak ke 'patah kaki' tu..

nah..my favourite shot..notice the mist coming out from the surface..tu bukan debu tau..

staircase of 249 steps to Bromo Volcano Crater..aduh..kena stop few times in between..i feel like 100yrs old now.. ( siapa suruh tak training awal2.. )

249 steps

Finally..after 20 minutes of horse riding & 10 minutes of staircase climbing..i present u...

an ACTIVE Volcano Crater!

trust me..it was scary..pheww

Tenggeresse people selling Eidelweiss Flower

Lake Toba..where time stood still

2011-10-13T05:25:00.000-07:00

We arrived at Medan Polonia Airport at 8.30am. ( only 55 minutes from Kuala Lumpur ).

From Polonia Airport we took a cab ( Taxi Andara - Rp50,000/RM15 per cab ) to Raja Taxi Station ( for PARAPAT town ) which was about 10-15 minutes drive from the airport.

Taxi Andara in the Airport

yaayy i am in Medan finally

So, this is Raja Taxi Station for Parapat Town. We paid Rp70,000/RM21.00 per pax. The taxi they used is Toyota Innova which can accomodate 6pax.

Our journey from Medan Town to Parapat took about 41/2 hours..it was a longest journey i ever had in my life..

bumpy ride & not to mention our 'F1' driver is driving like mad & almost 'kissing' some huge lorries & trailers..all i can do was closed my eyes & try to sleep even it was impossible!

for a second i thought i might have a heart attack! Thank God i didnt because i still manage to SMILE & PEACE here..lol :-p

tengok ini ibu..kasian ya..uda pusing kepalanya..kerna jalan ke Parapat seperti ular dipalu gituuu ;-) pity my cousin Jass..she got motion sickness

choosing what to eat in Parapat town before taking a ferry to Samosir Island

Lunch at Parapat Town..Padang Food..gosh it was so spicy..pheww!!

Parapat Jetty. Ferry fee is Rp7000/RM2.10 per pax

we took a ferry for about 35 minutes to ROMLAN GUESTHOUSE located in Tuk Tuk, Samosir Island.

Gosh the moment i've seen the sprawling Lake Toba..all those rough & scary journey experience had dissapeared..AWESOME scenary..no words can describe the peacefulness i have here..AMAZING!

I wish i have those expensive DSLR camera

Check out my next entry..in ROMLAN GUESTHOUSE..the simple,cheap but great BATAK Traditional Guesthouse we stayed during our 3 days in Lake Toba.

Another Jalan2 Trip

2011-10-12T02:47:00.000-07:00

Yipeee.. happy nya..esok i will be going to Medan,Indonesia. Tak sabar nak tengok Lake Toba. Angan2 nak pergi tempat ni lama sangat dah. Kesiannnn baru ni la nak tercapai..at least better than never right?

i've been to Indonesia few times like Jakarta, Bandung, Jogjakarta but never in Medan. I hope this journey will be pleasant and enjoyable one. Only 3 of us girls this time ( cousin Jass & Bbie )..too bad others Girls' Travelling Club
( GTC ) cant make it this time.. ;-(

So, wish me a safe journey & wait for my beautiful Lake Toba photos soon ;-))
