22 dec
the first day was kinda xian and i spent most of my time on the road sleeping.
passed by the hot mud flow though. there's walls built around it and the driver told us it's like they have to build it higher and work's done 24hours. freaking scary. i saw the steam from the car and it's really far. and the walls were very high up :( it depresses me to see natural disasters like this striking indo.. or any other parts of the world for that matter.
the first stop was bromo! reached there at about 11pm. the wind was strong and it was freezing!
23 dec
woke up at 3am the next day so we can watch sunrise but it was raining. argh. we didn't get to see sunrise then. lousy weather.
it was so cold we had to wear layers of clothes! and beanies, gloves etc. my lil cousin looked uber cute :D

then we went up mt. bromo! had to rise horses first before u get to take stairs up. it's pretty tiring and scary when u look down =x AND I GET TO RIDE THE HORSE MYSELF. wth. if i slip, the horse and i would just tumble down and die.
