Kawah Ijen - a trip to the bowels of the earth

Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment.  If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!

Bromo, the pearl of Java

If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.

No to plastic

Bali is a paradise on earth, and it's not for nothing that it's called the Island of Gods. You need to stay there for several days if you really want to appreciate everything it has to offer. This is a brief presentation of the things to see in Bali.

Welcome to the Island of Gods and all its marvels.

Sidemen is a district in the east of Bali, known for its magnificent scenery and flat ricefields.

Selamat Detang! Indonesia was born under a lucky travel star: amazing deep sea diving, treks along a volcano rim, exquisite landscapes as varied as virgin jungle and terraced rice paddies, a cuisine of a thousand flavours. There is no doubt that the innumerable attributes of this country will delight travellers … But a trip to Bali or to Indonesia, is not only the discovery of incomparable natural wonders, it is also an encounter with an extraordinary culture. It is the largest archipelago in the world, with 13,000 islands (some say up to 17,000!), it is also the fourth most populated country in the world with 240 million inhabitants. With ancient connections to India and China, and later with the Middle East, what was once a trade route quickly became a crossroad for cultural exchange. This history explains why there are still, to this day, many religious practices (Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Animism), coexisting side by side in Indonesia.

Lovina Beach is a collection of several villages in the north of Bali and its beaches of black sand (makes a change from white sand...) stretch for over 7 miles.
In contrast with the beaches on the south coast, I met more families than backpackers in Lovina. I hear though, that it is crowded with tourists in the month of August and filled with Australians during the Christmas holiday.
 For sports holiday enthusiasts , I recommend Gitgit waterfall, situated about 6 miles from Lovina. I only went there to see the waterfall, but it is also possible to go canyoning. There are many diving outings in the region, either starting directly from the coast or from little islands that you get to by boat.
Cock fights are the region's specialty, if you can attend one, do not miss the event!

Despite its romantic sounding name, Lovina isn't the most welcoming town in Bali. The locals bother tourists at every turn to try to sell them excursions and hotels charge tourists per person. 
In my opinion the dolphins are an ethical and environmental disaster: at dawn there are dozens of boats trying to show the tourists a few dolphin fins or, at best, a little jump out of the water. If a dolphin is seen, all the boats head towards the poor thing. Personally I was really shocked by the chase.
However, Lovina is an ideal place for doing some snorkelling or diving during a<a href="/indonesia/">trip to Bali</a>. These excursions are on an island near Java which is considered to be one of the most beautiful aquariums in the world. The prices are lower there than elsewhere. Which as far as I am concerned is Lovina's only good point.

Lovina is in the north of Bali and tourists go there for the black sand beaches and trips to see the dolphins.
