Indonesia Day 16 : Bromo Ijen Tour - To Cemoro Lawang

We had booked the 3D2N Bromo Ijen Tour from Satu Dunia Travel few days ago. It cost IDR 600k/person for the transport, 2 nights stay at the Cemoro Lawang (Near to Mount Bromo) and Ijen and stop at the Harbour at Banyuwangi. Hence, this package exclude the mount bromo and ijen crater entrance fee, ijen blue fire and bromo jeep sunrise fee (we add on for IDR100k).

0730 – Checked out and find the van that fetch us. The van was waiting us. After the van fetch all the people, the van depart to Cemoro Lawang. There were many French, one Swiss girl, one English guy and a China couple. All westerner were sitting in front and chit chat a lot.

In the sharing tour van.

1000 – Van stopped for toilet only but we were very hungry. Most of us just bought some snack to eat while some having the hot noodle cup. They haven’t start to eat the noodle, the driver already called to continue the journey.

1430 – Stopped at a restaurant for lunch for an hour. It was very expensive to having here. We couldn’t find other local warung to eat from my sight as this area is quite rural. We just called the cheapest food that we could.

2100 – Reached Probolinggo. We got off here to listen the briefing about Bromo tour tomorrow at the Nirwana Tour and Travel office. We had to pay the bromo entrance fee before they continue the journey. I paid it and got free upgrade for the accommodation to Bromo Permai Hotel. But that swiss girl don’t pay as she said that bromo don’t need entrance fee. However, most of the people paid it. Then we got to another can and departed to Cemoro Lawang.

We had to transfer from the van at the back to the van at the front. My backpack was at the top.

2300 – Reached Bromo Permai. It very good hotel which have TV and nice hot shower. This place was very cool as its altitude is about 2000m. Before getting sleep, I went out to find some food eat. Only one local warung near to my hotel that still opened at midnight. Hence, just simply eat so that can sleep well although tomorrow need to wake up early.
