Let's go to the volcano ๐ŸŒ‹

Publicatu: 26.05.2018

This morning, to be honest, we didn't know exactly how to approach the upcoming volcano trekking tour ๐Ÿคจ! There were two options! Either from Ubud with return to Ubud or complete departure from Ubud and onwards to Lake Batur. From there, climb the volcano! Luckily, we chose option 2 ๐Ÿ‘.

A bungalow at Lake Batur with ๐ŸŒ‹ volcano trekking tour was quickly booked ๐Ÿ‘!

A taxi ๐Ÿš• was also quickly found to take us to Lake Batur.

We were able to negotiate a stop in Tegallalang with the driver ๐Ÿ˜‰. There were incredible rice terraces here ๐Ÿ‘. But also a tourist hotspot to the max ๐Ÿ˜–! It was okay that we had to pay an entrance fee, but everywhere we went down to the rice terraces, there were locals trying to sell us all sorts of things ๐Ÿ˜–. That was really annoying! We walked around there for about half an hour and enjoyed the view ๐Ÿ˜Š! When we went up to the road, someone called out "hi Daniela" and I thought, ๐Ÿ˜ฎ wow, someone here knows Daniela ๐Ÿ˜‚! It was Ketut, our driver who had taken us to Ubud ๐Ÿ™ˆ. Amazingly, he came over to us and showed us another great view of the rice terraces ๐Ÿ˜‰!

Now, our driver took us further towards Lake Batur and let me tell you, he seemed to be in a damn hurry because he was really pressing down on the gas pedal ๐Ÿคข! I felt worse and worse! I told Daniela, I'm going to throw up soon ๐Ÿคฎ!!!! It was really bad! Somehow I survived the trip without ๐Ÿคฎ.

We have a great bungalow here at Lake Batur with a view of the lake, and from the terrace, we can see Mount Batur ๐Ÿค—! Both look very beautiful.

After freshening up, the owner came and went through tomorrow's trekking with us ๐Ÿ˜€. So, it starts at 3:15 am ๐Ÿ˜€! The ascent starts right in front of our resort and takes about 2 hours to reach the top! Once we arrive at the top, an egg will be fried on the volcano ๐ŸŒ‹ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜€! Well, I'm curious! Then we'll admire the sunrise ๐ŸŒ…, as well as visit the crater ๐Ÿ‘. After that, we'll descend! That's the plan ๐Ÿ˜‰!!!!

With so much input, we marched towards the lake. It was very nice because we had to pass by the local farmers who were busy working the fields. Pigs were in small wooden barns and every now and then we could see a few cows. I also said to Daniela, it smells like the Allgรคu here ๐Ÿ˜‚! The locals were very friendly here too, they came up to us and chatted away ๐Ÿ˜Š!

At some point, I looked to the right and what I saw there was sooooooo disgusting. Bah, giant spiders! No photo of that, not even a second glance, just get away from there ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ!

After our walk, we returned to the resort and had a really delicious meal here. Off to bed soon, as we have to get up at 2:30 am! Photos will be provided later, as the WiFi here is not good!
