Hi All, how are yall?? I am just from my short trip to Surabaya yesterday esp Mt. Bromo. This is the first time for me to travel to other parts of Java island because I am from Medan, I barely go to other Indonesia area except Jakarta or Bali. To be honest, I am really surprised because Surabaya or Sidoarjo is quite clean compare to other cities in Indonesia even tho the weather is pretty hot. But Mt. Bromo is spectacular, the view is breath-taking and it leaves deep footprint in my heart. Able to interact with the local and stay eat sleep like local Surabaya is def unforgettable memory. And plus the food is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Here is some pictures of my trip:

After the first dinner at Sidoarjo, we went to buy Sim Card ( as we said we can live without food but can't live without Internet!) hahahaha. Then we headed to Bromo around 10 PM, it took 2 hours to reach one of our friend house and we rested a bit and continued ard 2.30 AM to head to get our jeep for Bromo adventure. Mt. Bromo is freaking cold!!! So for anyone who plan to go there to see sunrise, equipped yourself with winter jacket, hat, gloves and scarfs, because the wind there is pretty strong. We so kia su (tak mau kalah), we went to chop our spot at around 4.30 AM (because 3 of my friends are photographer, so they are so committed to get the best shots--typical photographer). haha

After the sunrise, we also took a bit snack because hunger and cold, we ate some indomie soup. and then we continue our journey to PASIR BERBISIK (Sea of sands), the sands is pretty fine there and a bit dusty.

After that, we went to Savana, it is so dry but at the same time, the scene is magnificent. Can photo prewed here. hahaha

Then we went to our last spot at Bromo which is the Crater. Here is the place you must be aware, REMEMBER to bring FACE MASK (masker mulut) or else you will be breathing or gulping some serious sands here as there will be occasionally wind sand here (pretty tense). We also hired a horse to take us to the crater and we need to climb the stairs to see the crater which most of the stairs cover in sands. you can feel how sandy it is here. After the journey to the crater, I feel like my whole body is full of sand even HAIR, EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Lastly, we rest at local's house where they cooked us some real good delicacy. simple yet delicious.
Surabaya people is very very friendly, the city is clean and nice. It was a great trip and left smile in our face and Love in our heart.
I am so proud of being Indonesian where the country is full of amazing view and nature. Really hope our government can invest or focus more in the natural scenic. It will be great attraction for foreigner as I traveled quite lots to foreign county, nowhere beats Indonesia nature beauty scene.
INDONESIA ROCKZZZZ
