It was very tired among on the trip, but after arrived there I was very happy. Before I saw Ijen crater I should climbed the hill. The hill was full of dust, so I used to mask reduced the pollution of dust. The length of hill about 4 to 5 kilometers. It was very exhausted journey. But in the middle of journey there was a building and the resident in there they call it a canteen. The canteen in there was very helpful, I can took a little rest and bought some food to refill my energy.
After a break of a few minutes there, then I continued my journey again. The weather was hot, but it was windy too. After a hour I walked, finally I could see  Ijen Crater. It was very beautiful panorama in there. I took some photos with my sister, my friends, and with resident in there. After that I took a little rest again and enjoyed the panorama in Ijen crater.
