good morning from the base of Kawah Ijen today we are hiking a volcano in East Java it is currently,
what is the time it's about 2:30 a.m and there's a little bit of rain but we we're hiking up to
Kawah and the crater lake and i think it's the largest crater lake in the world so
got about two hour trek up the mountain and it's quite cold at the moment but i think we'll warm up
we have just reached one of the most insane viewpoints in the world like seriously guys
this is insane the water is so blue but we don't even know if it's water
or is it just acid i think it's like an acidic lake so maybe not water but these views
so
we just watched the most amazing sunrise over this side and like the lighting on the lake and
stuff is just amazing and we just had some oreos which made it even more beautiful they're probably
probably in my teeth this cliff down here is 200 meters into the lake you probably can't
quite see but apparently there are is steam coming off the lake because it's really warm
but it looks it's just crazy you can still smell the salt for a little bit sometimes
there's a little bit of an eggy smell in the air also when we climb up the crater earlier i was
kind of losing my breath a little bit like we are so high up we're 2 300 or something is that right
2 300 meters high so this is the sulfur which the miners carry down and it actually weighs like 100
kilograms and they carry it all the way down the mountain where we've come from and all the way
well all the way down the mountain and then that hike all the way up which is just crazy
with 100 kilograms of that sulfur on their back i definitely couldn't do it the crazy thing is that
100 kilograms of sulfur they sell to a chinese company and 400 kilograms carrying it all the
way down this mountain which is just so taxing on your body it costs 125 000 which is what they
sell it for which is about five pound fifty which is a lot of work for you know not loads of money
but wow a lot of respect to these men who are doing it we're gonna enjoy the incredible walk
down because we couldn't see anything on the way up because it was pitch black but now we're going
to have some crazy views so let's start the hike down how you doing amelia a little cold oh no
i kept slipping down so this nice man lent me his stick
so i felt like a shepherd with without sheep with the harrow so we have just finished the
hike down but wow honestly my legs ache so much my knees are sore and like wobbly
i think coming down was actually much harder than going up like seriously um but we're back
now and we're gonna have some breakfast because we need to refuel because i'm so hungry i'm starving
so we have just come to this waterfall literally 10 minutes away from
egyn this waterfall is this acidic and it's got like can you see it's a little bit looks like a
bit like wee because it's like a little yellow from the sulfur but it looks so cool so we have
about a five hour journey to bromo now so we're gonna get some sleep because we are so tired yeah
so we have just arrived on the outskirts of bromo national park it was such a long drive
to get here but it was so beautiful on the way and i think we're about 1 700 meters up and my
ears were literally popping on the way here it was quite crazy but where we are right now is
so beautiful we're at this little cafe the view is just insane and you've got the clouds coming
all over honestly this place is beautiful i'm so excited for the morning yeah cameras don't do it
justice i can't wait for the morning so in the morning we're getting up for sunrise once again
and we're gonna be going to the crater and like a sunrise point this is supposed to be i've seen
it all over instagram it's supposed to be one of the most beautiful places so yeah can't wait
for it we'll probably pick this camera back up in the morning when we're super tired about 3am
yeah okay see you then good morning it is 3am and we actually got seven hours sleep which is pretty
decent yeah i'm feeling pretty good although it is very cold outside i'm literally wearing jeans
i literally haven't worn jeans since we took our flight to thailand i'm wearing like two pairs of
trousers five tops i think it's 11 degrees but we're going up a thousand meters so it's gonna
get even colder we need to get in the jeep because we're going in four by four because we're going
off-road or something so let's jump in and let's go to bromo so guys we are at the viewpoint for
sunrise it looks amazing i could just about see it with our eyes but the sun is coming up in probably
like 20-30 minutes you can see the smoke from the volcano behind us it does look like we're
telling a horror story doesn't it yeah it looks quite good because i've got my phone light to
show you the way if you look there's a massive one behind this one yeah there's an even i'll show you
the view hopefully when then when it's visible when it's a bit brighter but it looks so cool
okay so the sun hasn't quite come up because it's kind of behind the mountains over here
and behind the clouds but we're going to be heading down now to like this
i don't know what it's called i think it's like the sea or something because it's like
basically down here but yeah we're going between all the volcanoes and then we're going to be
walking along the crater a bit later which is going to be so cool i just love this view though
it is so beautiful and the clouds and the smoke from the volcano behind this one i think that
one's bromo the one that's smoking yeah so cool right let's get back in the jeep and let's head
so we have just arrived down on this i don't even know i think we might be in the crater but
wherever we are this place is awesome i just flew the drone and it was so cool
and we got some awesome shots on this big jeep and it looked amazing look at the jeep
in front of the volcano it looks absolutely insane if you have not followed us on instagram make
