Surabaya: Ijen Crater

Bus broke down in the midst and gu was hoping it wont move cause he can skip the climbing part. Damn i felt the other way though but thank god it was fixed in a blink of an eye and off we go!!!!

The hike was very fruitful just that it was all pitch dark so there's nothing you can see. You only know once you fall sideways, that's it. Thank god i brought my own mini torch to add up the light.

So once we reach the top of Ijen Crater, there's a part of 900m down to see the blue flame. Of course i came all the way here just to see the blue flame but none of them wanna go down with me cause it's too steep and hard to breathe. So oh well, solo time. It's really fun so if you happen to go, must go down!!!! just 900m more only!!!

Though i almost wanted to give up halfway because it's really far far down and dark so it's quite scary and what's worse is you know no one there.

MISSION ACCOMPLISH!!!!!

I swear i almost choke to death.

They really weigh like 70kg?! Imagine how those worker risk there life carrying up the steep mountain in the middle of the night with just a torch light and some even slippers?! Salute..

Sulphur. 

and when it's day time, the view is spectacular!!!!
