East Java Trekking Part II

We reaches the Sea of Sand immediately after our photo session at Mount Bromo.
The usual walk will take like 45 mins to reach the crater along the "Sea of Sand" but all of us agreed to take a horse ride. Cost roughly for a 2 way trip $100k rupiah. It could be cheaper if the 4 of us know how to bargain with the locals.
