Surabaya 2

(i better start finishing this story coz my amnesia is kicking in !!! )

on the second in surabaya, we checked out a little late.
had breakfast at the hotel.it was not so nice.but cant complaint much
my uncle's fren arrived after buying other tickets..
later we had lunch at Sederhana, nasi padang restaurant.

the food was enuf to feed 20 people...ok exaggerating ! but really, there were about 30+ dishes (2 of everything).u dun have to pay for everything.u eat what u want, then u pay for what u have eaten.simple.

a normal view here..they sit by the road side and sell food.motorcycles are everywhere & they juz push their cart
then we headed to Monumen Kapal Selam.we didnt spend a lot of time here.

the guide in the submarine...such a happy fella.

walked around and found this sculpture.i was hoping to come here coz it's like the landmark of Surabaya- sora (shark) and boya (crocodile).it was said these 2 animals were fighting.that's how they got the name.well, for better info,do contact uncle google kay! unfortunately no picture of me standing here...sigh

later we headed to Bromo.here are some pictures along the way

largest mosque in surabaya..sadly didnt pray here

Lapindo mud area.this area was surrounded with high walls.the guide did explain but i was too busy ermm sleeping :D she didnt encourage us to stop here coz she said there are many bad guys.but a fren of mine who went there last march said she went up there.so, it's up to u

around 5 we started to go up the mount and it started to get chilly.the way up was like going up Cameron Highlands.when u look out the window, it was very steep slopes.OMG ! i was like saying prayers & berzikir aje laa.

then we arrived at

along the way, u had to stop to pay the entrance fee and if u are going to use camera, u have to pay too.if i was not mistaken, the camera was like RM15. of course i paid (duhh).by the time we arrive, it was quite dark.we checked in and then have dinner.i didnt know it was going to be VERY COLD.i only brought my cotton jacket.it was not enough.had to rent a jacket (RP25000).i dont care.i almost died of extreme cold HAHAHAHA.the guide said, the temperature could reach 5degree OMG!!

my room for the night.the floor was so so cold.it was like walking on ice.luckily there was a water heater otherwise i couldnt be bothered to take a bath (shhh).since no one is sleeping on the 2nd bed, i took the blanket.i slept with 4blankets (4 toto pun still sejuk nak mampus).slept early coz had to wake up at 2.30am. at 3 we were going to see sunrise.
