I set out to use public transport due to the location which is very difficult to reach by car .
In the morning I had started out with the rise of public transport ie buses . any termination of regions I have changed vehicles to get to the location which is very difficult in a regular vehicle mileage since many are broken pavement and very deep holes , only experienced people or locals who can drive me up at the destination .
The most sad if I have to use public transport because it always feels like urinating , and if I have to pee I have to run for the toilet terminal before the bus departed , fearing to miss .
There is a sense of comfortable and uncomfortable if you have to use public transport , namely a sense of comfort not drive myself but the discomfort is to be joined by a wide range of people in a bus with body odor ...... lol .
Short said after a long journey arrived at the terminal Sempol deadline which is the end point of a terminal . He said if you want to continue longer have to use a bike for transportation only owned it .
In the terminal Sempol I find a driver willing to take public transportation to the final destination is " Paltuding " which places the last post in the crater of Mount Ijen .
Finally, we set out to mix another passenger who lived not far from the village . Many passengers who buy the necessities of life of the city such as : sugar , coffee , rice , and there are carry livestock and others to be brought to the village .
Their lives are very concerned because I see first hand their homes and their children . But their faces are always smiling . Maybe that's their gratitude to God and nature give life around .
The journey takes a long time because the driver must deliver passengers one by one . Until I reached the goal post Paltuding end at about 5:00 pm the afternoon. Back the driver offering his services to pick with the provisions of the time that he made , I will not want to be bound by time .
Immediately, my husband rushed rent rooms but all the rooms full of just staying one room without a bathroom in the sense of using public bathrooms at the rate of 100,000 rupiah ( 10 Dollars ) . We would not want to take because it was night time and needed a break .
Locals tell if you want to climb around 2:30 AM , as the smoke coming out of the crater of Mount Ijen is not too much . In a room with a size of 2 meters x 2 meters I could not sleep because of the cold and hard mattress makes me hard to rest for hours is hard to close my eyes .
Until I hear a lot of people outside to prepare for the climb . I see shows watches at 2:00 AM , Do not want to wait much longer , my husband and I were off .
In the climb I was always upset and angry emotions I often peaking because the air smells of sulfur that exists around the mountain was overpowering , to make me a dry mouth and throat .
In the end all the anger and upset that I was a natural , beautiful scenery erased by following up on the mountain top . The eye feels stared at the grace of God . Lots of tourists come from local and foreign tourists.
Perhaps with this trip , I tested to always control emotions and a lot of lessons that I take away from this trip is practice patience , intelligence and empathy towards others .
