I am now here blogging from Bromo View Hotel, for a very short stay for only about 2½ hours. Too afraid to sleep, we would be leaving the hotel at 00:30 [the next day] and make our way to Bromo Mountain to watch the sunrise.
I arrived at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, Indonesia, at about 12:40 p.m. local time. I met the tour guide and driver, Mr. Yoga and Mr. Irwan, respectively and they took me to two venues in the city i.e. the museums. Believe it or not, I was the only guest in the 13-seater bus.
By 17:30, we were back at the airport, to welcome the other 6 people of the tour group who flew out from Kuala Lumpur - the three of them are my TESL friends from university, accompanied by their family members.
Then we went for dinner before checking in at the hotel to freshen up (after the 2½ hours drive). We will be checking out from the hotel to continue with the Surabaya adventure while other people are sound asleep. I honestly am not that sure what is going to happen next but I will be catching my beauty sleep in the bus after this.
