Bromo

As we drove to Bromo, we were looking forward to finally getting out of the heat and into the cool hills.  Just as the road started to get windy we got into a heavy rain storm with strong winds, that were knocking out branches. We decided to find a spot to wait out the storm, and as Elios was sleeping we too took a nap.  30 minutes latter everything was over with no more rain, and cool air around us.  To our surprise a bamboo three fell behind our bus, as we slept.  Latter as we continued, we found alot of cars lined up waiting for a removal of a huge three!
The whole village along with the drivers got together to remove the obstacle.(see film)  Chopping it down in 2 places, than rolling it out of the road.  Lucky for us we decided to stop, who knows maybe that three would fall in front of us or behind us, surely not on us, otherwise no more blog updates ;)  As we drove up to the crater edge of the Bromo vulcano, we were told that we may not go further, and we had to sleep in the parking before the barier.  We were told that we must rent a jeep to go further, as the road is not passable by normal car.  In fact it was nothing as a trap. The barier was guarded till dunrise, so that the locals with their jeeps could drive up their pray = tourists up to the crater edge.  Augusta decides to boldly walk up the mountian, and Filip stays with Elios to explore the village. She gets a lift to the top of the crater edge to see the beautifull site of the Bromo vulcano.  After returning also by a lift we drive up, but by than it was already too foggy and rainy, so we returned to the valleys below, to drive on to the National park.
