The view at sunrise from Mount Penanjakan overlooking the Tengger Caldera was not as spectacular as I had hoped. Perhaps the scene was more impressive in the tourist brochures? Nonetheless, the five volcanoes inside the Tengger Caldera: Mount Bromo (2,392 m), Mount Batok (2,470 m), Mount Kursi (2,581 m), Mount Watangan (2,661 m), and Mount Widodaren (2,650 m), encircled by the Sea of Sand form quite a unique sight. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time for a more serious wander (the climb up Mt Semeru looked fantastic) but instead just took one of the hyper-coloured jeeps up to the caldera rim and then a horse to Mount Bromo’s rim.
