Bromo Tour... Itinerary & Budget

Below are the summary of tour 5D/4N itinerary in place of Semeru package & budget. We still use the same tour agent like last year trip, since, they are also organizing Semeru trekking package. Overall, the service is OK, only need to improve on certain things. Main tour Guide needs to be more professional. Imam which was supposed to be our Semeru guide is really helpful & very informative.

Alhamdulillah, kali ni aku tak banyak spend untuk shopping sebab mind set memang nak pergi mendaki ajer so bila dah tukar plan tu, aku memang sedikit tak keruan, tak tahu apa lah aku nak beli ni... sebab normally kalo aku target nak shopping memang dah ada checklist kan ni cuma bawak checklist nak gi mendaki jer, hahaha. Duit extra memang banyak sebab price package kami dah squeeze, so, memang banyak boleh spend kalau ikutkan tapi tulah kalau hati dah kecewa, mood pun down.

Trip to B29 sebagai ganti kekecewaan tak dapat Ke Semeru

Bila difikir-fikrkan kelakar juga, shopping kat karat bagai nak rak sampai last day nak pergi pun, sempat lagi tu pergi lagi, hehehe. Aku rasa kaya dah makcik karat sebab kami-kami ni jer... aku pun boleh terjebak juga... tak terkira berapa kali dah rasanya ke situ. Tapi takpe, keep that for our next trip, lepas ni tak payah lah nak shopping barang outdoor sangat dah kan. Anyway, boleh percaya ke?? Tapi tulah kita ni hanya merancang, Allah juga yang tentukan. Mungking kami belum betul-betul bersedia nak ke semeru sebab tu ada sahaja halangan nya, mungkin juga spekulasi... emmhhh, boleh jadi juga, haish... tapi berita kehilangan Azis Aminudin memang betul-betul bukan cobaan.

This entry marked the final of my bromo journey. Banyak sangat kenangan manis, kelakar & pahit yang aku alami. KLMJ, ni memang banyak sangat lah. Tapi kenagan paling terkesan dihati confirmlah kekecewaan tak dapat menawan gunung tertinggi di Jawa itu. Lebih kecewa bukan sebab kami dah mendaki tapi tak sampai ke puncak tapi sebab kami lansung tak dibenarkan masuk ke kawasan pendakian. Ranu Kumbolo hanya tinggal kenangan dalam mimpi sajalah, huhuhu.

Tapi yang pasti kekecewaan aku ini tak bermakna keinginan aku terkubur begitu sahaja. InsyAllah pasti aku akan datang lagi nak melunaskan impian yang tertangguh. Bak kata pepatah Melayu,” Takkan lari gunung dikejar”
