Bromo volcano sunrise gamble is a success

I didn't sleep all night and went to Bromo Volcano in Surabaya, Indonesia. It was so beautiful, the beauty that the camera couldn't record. Everything was worth it at the moment of sunrise. Here are some tips for your reference: We were a customized group of two, and they helped us find a chartered car and a guide. The driver also got us tickets to the mountain, so we didn't have to worry about anything. When we landed at the airport, someone picked us up. The Indonesian guy held a sign and was very simple. We got off the plane at around 9 o'clock, rested for a while, and then set off for Bromo (it's best to go there the night before to rest for a day, staying up all night is really tiring) At around 2 o'clock, when you reach the halfway point of the mountain, we will change to a jeep and take you to the mountain. It is recommended to buy disposable non-slip shoe covers (white shoes will really be ruined), or wear a pair of old sneakers and throw them away directly after wearing them. I still had sand on my feet after wearing shoe covers. Woolen hats are sold in many places (remember to bargain, you can get them for 20,000, which is about 10💰 off). There are various colors available for you to try on hh. I was afraid my suitcase was too heavy and I didn’t bring a coat, so I must wear more clothes! I rented a cotton jacket on the mountain for about 25,000 yuan using my mobile phone. It was very cold before sunrise, and it was wet on the mountain. I had to sit on the ground and wear the rented clothes without feeling bad! We started climbing the mountain at around 3 o'clock. The mountain was full of sand, so we had to wear shoes with grip. It was very dusty, so we had to remember to bring a mask and sunglasses. When we came down, our faces were covered in dust. I threw away my contact lenses and took a deep shower at the hotel. ps: You can take good photos from many positions on the observation deck, and you don’t have to find a queue point! (Bromo Volcano wears a vest that many people wear. It was too cold for me so I could only wear yoga pants and a base top that showed off my figure.) After watching the sunrise from the observation deck, we set off for the foot of the volcano around seven o'clock. It's quite far to the crater from the foot of the volcano, and you need to hike or ride a horse. People who are not physically fit must ride a horse because I was really exhausted after hiking up the mountain, so I just rode when I came back 🐎 (the quoted price is 150, and you can basically bargain down to 1 million per person one way). Some horses have bad tempers, so be careful. Moreover, the smell of sulfur in the crater was particularly bad. Many people couldn't stand the smell and kept coughing. I even took a look and didn't even want to take a picture before going down. In short, Bromo is really worth going. I kept reminiscing about it after I came back, but I will probably only go there once, hahaha
