Mount Bromo in Indonesia, is a Volcano is located south of the city of Surabaya in East Java province. This place is becoming popular with visitors as this volcano is easily accessible via trips from nearby Surabaya, plus one can walk along the rim of the volcano edge!
Mount Bromo is not a huge or massive volcano, but the surrounding setting is spectacular – it feels like one is on the moon when walking through the valley that leads up to the volcano.
Here are some pics from my visit there:

The volcano at Dawn. Bromo is the one that is smouldering on the left. The other volcano on the right is extinct:
Dawn reveals a captive audience waiting for the sun to cast it’s shadow:
Later on once the sun is truly up, you can be driven near the Bromo crater to climb to it and walk around. It’s a nice walk, or if you want to be a lazy sod, you can hire a pony to then climb a lung-testing series of steps.
Looking right into the guts of the Bromo crater. If you really want to, you can throw some offerings in – a bunch of dried plants. Not sure if anyone’s wish has come true yet!
And maybe you could throw in anyone you don’t like!
You can also check out the odd lava flow that has occurred in the past:
The best bit is walking along the edge of Bromo – and not be overwhelmed by the odd spurt of rotten egg case entering your nostrils!
