Kintamani
Bali
17.05.2006
We hired a jeep from Kuta and travelled up to the northen end of the island. And before you say anything, i know its a hairdressers car.
3000m up, the area of Kintamani has two main volcanoes, Gnung Batur and Gnung Agung. We stayed in the town of Toyah Bunkah at the base of the Batur volcano. We had read that the treks to the top are definately worth doing and this was part of the main reason to come here. But we were never told that we had to drag our sorry arses out of bed at 3:30, start at 3:45 and trek for 2hrs to reach the freezing cold summit for sunrise at 6am. But it was worth it to see the view from the top.
