We were all very excited about our hike up the volcano. We hit the sack early and got up at 3 a.m. for our ride to the base. We started climbing around 4 a.m., under a full moon.
It was cold and we had to pull a couple of the boys along but it was so beautiful. A couple of the guides helped carry Riley and Pruitt part of the way. It was a good hour and a half climb up and we got to the summit just before the light started to break in over the horizon.
As the sun lazily worked it's way up we could make out the lake and another volcano and, beyond that, the ocean and Lombok Island. I experienced some of the most stunning moments of my life, sitting up there, watching the beauty unfold, shivering in the cold and hugging my cup of hot bali coffee.

Glad you all enjoyed your trip to Indo! Scott & Jojo mentioned you were headed this direction, so I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to connect. Maybe sometime in the future!
And the picture of the full moon is wonderful!
Blessings and peace to your time in Bangladesh,
