If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.

No to plastic

Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment.  If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!

The road climbs and I literally zigzag through the potholes to reach Tetebatu. Two roads and a junction, that is it for the asphalt, the rest, a myriad of muddy lanes where life takes its course in the relative cool of the Rinjani slopes.
I park the moped and continue on foot surrounded by a flock of children finding it funny to see a tourist in their village. They absolutely want to show me a waterfall. We go down across the paddy-fields and discover orchids and magnificent ferns that bloom in the permanent mist brought on by the falling water. I suggest you spare the time of an afternoon, for example, to explore the village.
There are several guest rooms installed in the tobacco dryers, it is very original. From here, I enjoy the view on the volcano. In the village, the cooking is fine and I savour a gado-gado, the Indonesian salad, which leaves me a good memory. The night is peaceful and cool and in the distance I hear the Azan of the muezzins announcing the first prayer of the day that is dawning.
