Day 3. Bromo sunrise tour – mada kalipura – surabaya
3.45 a.m. wake up! We took a 4.2 liter engine jeep to the Bromo look out point called Mount Penanjakan. Very bumpy ride, the view point was not packed with tourists this time, so I told the jeep driver to take us to the touristy point, not to my usual secret place for my customers to take pictures without any other tourists blocking the view.
The sunrise was a good one. There were two perspectives, to the east the sun is rising over the horizon and to the west the breathtaking view of Mount Bromo, surrounded by many towering mountains, and one of them – Semeru – usually erupts every 15 – 25 minutes. On a clear day, the sunlight pours over the slopes of other mountains, highlighting the colorful scenery. I see Bromo several times a month and I enjoy the sounds of everyone getting excited. The sweet melodies of Javanese singing in their language and the eeewwwww’s and ahhhh’s building up as the sun rise got closer.
Back in the Jeep for another rocky ride to Bromo not too far away. When we got there I had to deal with all those horse masters who wanted the tourists to choose their horses for riding. In this place you may on horseback or just walk to stairs of Bromo.
Looking at the volcano this tour to Bromo was quite an easy one for us . We went back to the hotel to have breakfast, and after that we were off to one of my favorite places in Java, the hidden paradise Mada waterfall. I like this place partly because there are very few tourists who go there. Most of them come from the cities nearby.
I provided a plastic box for protected camera from water. Then we started a walk through a nice landscape on a small zigzagging path – a river coming from the waterfall.
Along this path we went under some falling water which was just freezing cold. The screams of excitement began, the end of the track was a massive cascading waterfall with a pool of water at the bottom.
The local people say that the waterfall is known for its healing qualities. It rained the previous day so the water was pounding heavily on top of our heads. Then we plunged into the pool of water to swim about. Water relaxes me. I was filled with utter joy, pleasure and amazement. Our tour in water fall might take around 2 hours in total.
If you feel not tired then you can take evening flight from Surabaya at the last day of this tour you might not stay for 4 days, only 3 days
