Up and out of the crater

Well, the hike up and out of the crater up to Pelawangi Senaru peak was great! It was a lovely trail with consistently excellent views to enjoy over the lake and mini-volcano in the lake. As we climbed higher, we were able to see the entire lake below. There was a lot of rock climbing involved which was great fun. The view at the very top was awesome. This is the kind of trekking I like and has made the trip so worthwhile.

After a break for a celebratory Tango biscuit and a few photos, we walked gradually down through dusty grasslands into the forest. When we got to the cloudy part of the forest, we found our campsite not long before sunset.
