My Adventurous Vacation part : 2

At a freezing morning at 3 o'clock, we woke up to see the sunrise from the tallest mountain near our hotel. We stayed at a hotel called Yoshi. We needed to use a Jeep to get to the top of the mountain. The road in some of the places were really bad so we had to hold on tight or we might fall! When we were near the top, we needed to use motorcycles because the road was full of parking cars. The motorcycles went quite fast and so it made the wind that goes past us gets even harder so it made me shiver really badly and cannot even speak a word loudly. Somehow, I can't really feel my nose.
When we were at the top, it was starting to get brighter. We saw a glimmer of light from a really far distance and as we got closer it began to shine brighter. The skies began to look brighter and it seems like he skies are opening up a new door and leading us to a new beginning. There were so many people that wants to see the beautiful sunrise. After a few minutes, we saw the sun rising behind the beautiful mountains and hills and it was a really spectacular view that time. It kindda make me feel like I want to fly.
People started going down the mountains after the skies are totally bright (but it is still 6 o'clock). So we also started going down. It wasn't really cold anymore. At our way back we took lots of pictures of mountains and amazing views of the wild nature. When we were near the bottom of the mountains, my brothers, my mom, my dad, my grandma from my dad's side and I saw lots of monkeys and some of them had babies carried on their back.
When we were at the spot where there was tons of sand like the beach or you can say somehow like the desert we saw lots of cars parking because they wanted to climb Mt Bromo and some wanted to ride horses which I did yesterday.
My horse that I rode is just 1 and a half years old but it was taller than me and stronger because it could walk around7 km's x 5 in a day. So it could walk about 35 km's in a day. By the way, the number 5 that I meant was 5 times bringing people to the mountain then back again. It eats 3 times in a day (just like us). It likes eating carrots and grass (I think they are vegetarians =P ). And it showers twice a day (also just like us but some of us showers more than twice in a day).
At noon, we went traveling to Malang. It is a city not really far away from Surabaya's countryside. It takes about 3-4 hours by car and if there is traffic, it will be about 5-6 hours.
At the evening, we went to this place called 'Batu Night Spectacular'. It looks like Ancol but way cleaner but way smaller. At the ticket counter there was a paper saying ' You buy a ticket, then you can't give it back no matter what.' When I bought a ticket to play the trampoline and suddenly it rained really hard and I can't give the ticket back so the guy in the counter said 'wait till the rain stops!'. Everyone in my family agreed that what if the rain doesn't stop until late at night?! And it really did happen. So we just play other indoor games like throw the plastic ball into the frogs moth while he is opening it. When it was about 6 o'clock we were really starving so we went to the food court downstairs. I asked my mom if I can play in 'Battle Area Indonesia'. It is a place where we fight using lasers. My mom said 'ok' but when we were done eating, my dad became sick so I can't play in 'Battle Area Indonesia'. So we hurried home just in time for bed. And that was the end of my 'I am not sure of what I am feeling today' day.
to be continued...
P.S. In Surabaya and in Malang, we didn't sleep in a luxurious hotel. We only slept at a hotel with no AC's but it was really cold an really comfortable.
P.P.S. To all readers, sorry if I wrote too long... =P
