“Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost” The usual route from Yogyakarta to Mount Bromo is via Probolinggo, a bus terminal filled with touts. I read lots of horror stories about the drama in Probolinggo (I have one as well but that’s for a separate blog post). The other option is to get a package tour from your hostel or any travel agency and then endure a 15-16 hour minivan ride with other tourists. Two lousy options. Both not fun. After some careful research, I stumbled across the Bromo backdoor route via the town of Ngadas. I read about the Malang-Ngadas-Cemoro Lawang route from these amazing bloggers. A good acquaintance, who also did this route, helped me out with the details. Kurtzy WalkFlyPinoy Ambot Ah So there are some adventurers who did this route. The thing is, they are all male. That made me a bit apprehensive about doing this route. Since you are reading my blog post...
Thanks for your very helpful posts!

Thanks again! :D
Hello Anonymous (magpakilala ka naman, hehehe). I think it is a good offer budget-wise. But in terms of the itinerary, I think gipit sa oras yan per place. If you want to skip the whole planning, if you just want to do a hit-and-run experience per city just to say you did it, this is an okay option. But three major cities in 7 days? NOPE.
DeleteHi Loraine! Thanks a lot for your quick reply! :D
ReplyDeleteAng initial plan ko kasi Spain lang (November 15 - 23, 2014). Basta makapasok na sa work ng November 24 hehe.
5 days lang kasi ang papayagang leave kapag consecutive days, so siningit ko na lang ang weekend.
Tapos nakita ko blog mo, then ung offer sa cashcashpinoy, parang ang saya mag Europe tour :D
Ang mahal kasi ng airfare, medyo nakakahinayang kung Spain lang, hehehe.
Thanks ulit! ^_^
Hi Vanessa! Europe is so much fun! Even if you only visit Spain, it will be a blast. And it will feel like a real vacation kasi hindi masyadong nagmamadali to catch flights/trains going around. Have a blast! Good thing that you are planning early na. =)
ReplyDeleteAhh you're right :)
DeleteNakita ko nga sa isang post mo na ang tagal mo sa Spain ^_^
Thanks!!!
