The Experience of Climbing Mount Bromo
During the 4th semester right in April 2017, the time to get
a long holiday was
from April 14 to April 17. At that time my family and I took advantage
of the long holiday to have a
vacation to Malang - East Java, precisely to Bromo Mountain tourist attractions. I departed
from Bogor on Wednesday night using a private car, firstly, I transited
in the hometown of my father who was in the Central Java of Semarang. I arrived
in Semarang at around 9 am,
my family and I decided
to rest first. By the way, I went from Semarang with my uncle's family. So we departed from
Semarang around 2 in the
afternoon with two private cars.
We arrived
in Malang around at 11 pm and it took time around 9 hours to arrive. In Malang,
I picked up my cousin first who lived in Malang and we also had
a rest. We went to Bromo at 1 am, it took time 2 hours to get
there. We arrived in parking area of Bromo at 3 am, but the we could
not get the vehicle which is Jeep. Finaly, they allowed us to go to the
top with our own car just to see the sun rise. The air in Bromo was quite
cold, i was waiting for the sund rise in the Love Hill. It was so
beautiful to see sun rise and we were lucky because the cloud was
not cloudy or even misty so we really enjoyed the view.
We went
back to the parking area of Bromo at around 9 am, because we wanted to
go to the next destination, which was desert or whispering sand, and to
get there we had to use a jeep. So at that time we were waiting
for a jeep. Around 11 o'clock in the afternoon we went to the desert,
whether it took long time, we didn’t really bother because we were
too enjoying the scenery. Until in the desert we were invited to tour
and stopped at several spots to take some photos. The last, we stopped in the crater of Mount Bromo, only a few people were
going towards bromo included me, and the rest were just waiting in the
downstairs area of the crater. To get the crater we needed to climb
strairs which was quite steep and many, i didn’t know how many
stairs but it was so many, i felt like never finished. After I got
to the top to see the crater, which actually i was afraid to slip and
fell to the crater hahaha. But seeing the view from the top was very
beautiful even though it was only vast desert. After that we went
back and turned the jeep to the parking area. We also had time to
rest and to take a bath, by the way the water at there was so cool.
When it started
to dark I went back to Malang, it was because the holiday wasn’t
to long haha so we decided not to stay in Malang, we just went
straight to Semarang and had a rest a there. The next day I went
back to Bogor because I had to go back to the collage.
