The trip was planned much earlier. We were sending our maid back for holidays and after that climbed Mount Bromo. Unfortunately, Ton's mom passed away 2 days before our trip. After the funeral, we left for KL to catch our flight to Surabaya.
After reaching Surabaya airport and saying good bye to Sutin, our maid, we made our ways to Mount Bromo. First, we stopped at House of Sampoerna, a museum depicting the life of its founder from rags to riches.
House of Sampoerna Then we stopped at a salt factory in a fishing village called Pasuaran. It wasn't much of a factory and more of a repacking place for salts coming from outside.
The fishing village of PasuaranAfter Pasuaran, it was a long drive on winding road to Tosari, the place we stopped before going up the mountain. It was cold and wet. We came during the rainy season. We woke up at 3am to begin the climb at 4am. It was by the jeep all the way to Mt. Tengger to observe the sunrise.

Bromo National Park is listed as one of the most beautiful places on earth. I agree.
As far as she goes
After the climb we went back to the hotel. We had breakfast and left Tosari for Surabaya. It was mango season. We stopped along the way for some of the biggest and sweetest harumanis we had ever tried.
