A Day at Ganung Batur

Ganung Batur (ganung means mountain in Indonesian) is one of the two volcanos here in Bali, surrounding a vast lake.  On Thursday some of the volunteers from the clinic and I woke up at 2 am to hike up to the top of it and watch the sun rise.  Unfortunately, it was foggy out and so the sun came out secretly behind the clouds, but the view of the valley and the lava flow on the way down made it worth it.

All of us girls after the sun has risen.


Warm soaking pools we went to afterwards. Notice: 
"Floathing Sunburn" was the name of that particular 
pool.
