Around 8pm, reach Kintamani ( The Area around volcano ) hunting for food. Finally, manage to grab some food in an Eatery.
The funny things was , this eatery has 2 different menu with different prices ( of course, 1 for Foreigner , 1 is the Local Price ) . Luckily, we talk in Bahasa Indonesia with thm... Pretending we are the LoCaL here... haha... so, Anyone who come here, Come to find me 1st ? ok.. I'm quite good in pretending as the Local here... ( although is the cacat one ) haha...

Around 10pm, After nego the price and chose the plan we decided, the tour guide placed us at their Rest room whilst wating the time to come.
Note the Lower Left 1 : Our SMELLY shoes... lol
the Upper Right 1 : Look, Everyone was listening to my instruction Attentively. =P

Around 3am, we started our journey .
The 1st time experience of hiking in the midnight with the torch light under the guidance of the tour guide. ( we have 4 tour guides to lead 16 of us )

Around 6am, reach the top of the Volcano, waiting for the Sunrise to emerge frm the Horizon.
TOo BAD , the fog was just too heavy hindering our view in appreciating the sunlight.
Look, Everyone were Waiting for the Sunrise to appear.... wait and wait .... urgh~~~

Around 7am, Eventually, the SUN !!!!! that we longing for so long !!!!
We took our breakfast up there ( bread with banana sliced between and Eggs )

Note The Upper Left pic : The crater.. it's hot...
We put the raw egg inside the crater , trying to cook it.. hehe
15minutes later, can you see ??? Is half cooked already !!!

Around 7.30am, we continue to walk, oh Nope, was climb around the volcano. We still clad in the fog , impeding our view of the breathtaking scene.

Another scenery frm top of the volcano.
I wondered, maybe we have had better view if the fog was cleared...

The top left pic : The ONLY hut on the volcano for you to rest and take some hot drink and food.
oh yeah, NO toilet provided. So, for those who had an urgency...uh hum, you hafta pee at the grass behind ... oops ...

Self-Admiring AGAIN .... haha... =P

Group snap shot !!!!! + the tour guide !!! + Niki !!!

Around 8.30am, journey of descending commenced !!!

On our way back to the foot of the volcano...

Around 10am, reached the foot and had our respite here.. Of course,Won't forget my snapshot !

The snap-shot before Balik KamPung !!!!

The END !!!! =D

P/S : whn i was ascending the hill, was not that harsh but when you "hike" around the volcano, that's tough becuz it was steep and slippery. Moreover, some of the path was very narrow, you would just fall off the mountain if you had a slipped foot , NO joke !!!
When descending the mountain, every stepped i made was indeed painful especially on my knee. The pressure just bumped against my knee... urgh~ Microtrauma !!! Would I get OsteoArthritis whn i get older?
In a nut shell, Strongly recommend you guyz to try it out whn you are young !!!! =D

很开心，
