the world in my eyes
So we stand there with Jana at the bus station of Probolinggo, the sharks circling around us. Everybody shouting: taxi, Yogya, Banyuwangi, Jakarta, Malang, taxi, taxi, transfer, hotel. So, what do we do? I veto Yogyakarta and finally we agreed to Malang, a small town …
One of my wildest dreams was to see Mt. Bromo and the amazing volcanic landscape around it. Everything else that is happening with me, all the great experiences in Indonesia are just a bonus. This is why I came to Cemoro Lawang, as this village …
