Rise and shine at 6am.
Breakfast in preparation.
The pisang goreng was yummy!
Packing up to start our Day 2 trek. We will be going down to the crater lake and then up to the second campsite opposite. (Photo by Lay Peng)
The route down to the crater was not only steep, it was also wet and slippery cos of the rain the night before. (Photos by Lay Peng)
Looking very colorful!
Finally up closed with the crater lake and still energetic enough to jump, not bad at all!
i was trying to take a panoramic view of the surrounding but not sure why my friend ended up looking like alien. Oops!
After some rest, more pictures and fooling around – like pretending to fish with the trekking stick etc, we set off for hot spring. (Photo by Lay Peng)
The hot spring was just right below. We can’t wait to jump in as we knew it was our only chance to ‘bath’ during the trip. (Photo by Lay Peng)
Making our way to the lunch site and was careful not to get wet especially we were feeling fresh and clean after hot spring.
One of the porters making tea and milo for us.
We were surrounded by blue sky, magnificent mountains, clear lake water and cool weather. What a perfect spot to chill and have lunch.
Did i mention before that our guide can cook really well?
Garlic bread, nasi goreng, pineapple, apple and orange (not pictured). What a spread!
After lunch, it was time to make our way to the second campsite. The climb up from the crater was very tough, but looked at the scenery, it was totally worth it.
Again, my guide had to help me all the way up else i couldn’t have made it. i kept telling him i have no more strength left haha. Once, we were in the middle of climbing up rocky surfaces, he pointed to somewhere far and told me to check out the view. i turned around, looked for a split second (no, i have no idea what i saw) and quickly turned back. Though i pretended to look cool, he could still sensed that something wasn’t right and asked if i’m afraid of height. i guess he must be thinking why the hell would someone who is afraid of height trekking a mountain?!

After another long day of tedious climbing, we finally reached our second campsite.
And i found crystals everywhere! On the spider web next to our tents...
... and on my friend’s hair :)
Day 2 ended with this delicious chicken and vegetable curry dinner nomnom.
i had to grab many pictures from my friends to illustrate the full story cos i had no free hand to use my camera most of the time. One hand was with the guide, the other either holding the trekking stick or onto some rocks for my dear life. But yeay i survived Day 2! To be continued...
