Yesterday we rented a car and driver for the day and drove about an hour out of Bandung to visit Tangkuban Prahu. The top of this volcano collapsed in on itself and it has not erupted since 1969. You can't hike down into this caldera because it emits poisonous gases. We hired a guide and hiked down a steep, wooded trail to Kawak Domas--a volcanic area that includes pools of boiling water, geysers, boiling mud, and sulfur caves. Did you know that sulfur crystals are the color of Juicy Fruit gum? I was literally IN a volcano! The scenery was beautiful. See for yourself:
Very interesting! Great photos! Glad you had a good day off...
