Synopsis
Excerpt from See Java, the Garden of the East: A Short Guide for Tourists
The trip to the Bromo Crater and the Sand Sea is rather strenuous. One must get up at am. And start at 3 am. Accompanied by lamp bearers. It can be done either on horse back. Or in sedan chairs, but the former mode of locomotion is preferred by most people as being quicker and less exhausting. One should carry a warm wrap as the early morning hours at that altitude are decidedly chilly. Breakfast is usually partaken of at the foot of the stairs leading to the Crater rim. A beautiful sunrise, the rule and not the exception, viewed from the top of the Moengal Pass, a full 1000 feet above the Sand Sea, compensates very largely for the early hour of rising. The arrival back at the Hotel is usually between and ll am.
