Friday morning I was picked up at home by my friend, Nurul. We drove 2 hours to the coast to have breakfast. After that we loaded onto a speedboat with all our gear and enjoyed 2 hours ride to the island. We snorkeled at a neighboring island and had lunch on the beach before boating a short distance to Krakatau. The eruption of Krakatau on August 27, 1883 was the loudest sound ever recorded, heard all the way in Australia. The explosion was about 13.000 times more powerful than Hiroshima.
Then, we set up camp for us at the base of the active volcano and after a little relaxation we started to hike towards the sunset. Once the sun had set and we made it back to camp.
The next morning we woke up early for the sunrise and hiked a little ways to a great viewpoint. After heading down, we had breakfast, relaxed a little, cleaned up, and load onto the speedboat again. We piled into the van and drove back home where we made it just as the sun was going down.
