Mt Bromo
The steep road down to the floor of the caldera comes out opposite to Mount Betok, with Mount Bromo behind. The floor of the caldera is fine volcanic sand, which is often called the Sand Sea or Lautan Pasir. Crossing the Sand Sea is usually done by jeep. On rounding
Just beyond the Hindu temple are the lower slopes of Mount Bromo. The jeeps only go as far as this, and the choice is to either walk across the slick volcanic sands to the base of Bromo's cone, or ride one of the horses on offer. The horses will take you only to the base of the steep sides of the cone. From there you have to climb a rather steep stairway.The stairs end at the rim of the crater, from where you can look down into the volcanic vent at the bottom.
Here are some of the locals with their horses waiting for the tourist to come back down the mountain. |

Hi Nico,
I'm not sure why this one does not get any attention, but to me it is a pleasant silouette.
Oh, those poor horses. Well, I'm comparing them to the horses outside of Medan, where I worked and lived for a while. That were really skinny horses and I'd never dare to go and sit on one - in fear of breaking it, since they all looked so britle.
Hope these horses were in a better shape.
Greetings,
Dennis
