Indonesian Bromo/Ijen Volcano | At this moment, the world is beneath my feet

Ijen and Bromo two-day travel guide Day 1: Arrived at Surabaya at noon, our guide picked us up, and it was about a four-hour drive to the hotel. Since we were leaving at 1 a.m. on the 14th, we didn't do any sightseeing and went straight to the hotel to rest (our guides were very good, the Surabaya guide even came to the hotel in the afternoon wanting to take us out, but we were too rushed and didn't rest well, so we slept through the knocking and phone calls at the hotel) 9.14 At 1 a.m. we left Surabaya, and it started raining as soon as we left, with no sign of stopping. When we arrived at the rest area at the foot of Ijen volcano, the guide brought us breakfast and bought hot milk, and also got us raincoats. After breakfast, we followed the guide and set off, and the rain kept getting heavier and didn't stop! We started climbing at 2:30 a.m., the whole path was muddy, and the rain got so heavy that we were soaked through. There were porters along the way, and seeing how hard they worked, because it was already difficult to walk, let alone pull people, we couldn't bear to use their services even though we were very tired. Then we climbed up to the volcano by ourselves, it took about an hour, and it kept raining, we rested in a temporary shelter! I will never forget this experience in my life!!! Completely soaked, the raincoat couldn't cover at all. The wind was blowing fiercely, and by six o'clock we still couldn't see the volcano, just a big fog, we could only see the road beneath our feet, so we decided to go back down the mountain! One of the regrets of this trip was that we couldn't see the true face of Ijen volcano, which is quite something, but this experience will never be forgotten! After descending the mountain, it was about a three-hour drive to a hotel near Bromo, where we checked in and rested until midnight, then set off again. Day 2: We left the hotel at 1 a.m. on 9.15 and arrived at Bromo at 3 a.m. Since there were wildfires that had not been extinguished when we went, we couldn't go to the landscape spot we most wanted to visit, kingkong, as it was closed and not open. So we could only go to the Seruni viewpoint, and we were worried that the rain wouldn't stop, but it did, which was good. On the way up, we could see the sunrise, which was very romantic! And the sky was full of stars, something you can't see in the city! You can ride a horse up! Then it was time for crazy photo taking, the journey was so much better than Ijen, after viewing from the observatory we went down to the foot of the mountain, and because of the wildfires, we couldn't climb the volcano, we could only look from afar at the foot of the mountain! Still, it was quite worth it!
