We woke up at 4:00am to finish the climb to the summit before sunrise. Once again I'm not good enough at English (or Indonesian) to describe how spectacular it was. I'll post a video later but all I'll say for now is: 1) we could see lava from the top. 2) in the distance you can see Gunung Tuju, the tallest lake in south east Asia.
We managed to get down by 10:30am. We had quite a bit of time to spare so we took a different route back to the car. We passed a cinemon tree. Fun fact; did you know that cinemon comes from the bark of a tree? We ripped a bit off and chewed on it for a few minutes. Soooo strong. While climbing the mountain, Matt had developed his own language which was a crude mixing of Indonesian words. Salamat bagus (which doesn't really mean anything) was a popular saying.
