On Lombok, we still had a goal to reach! Climbing the crater of Mount Rinjiani had been on our to do list since many years. Without thinking about it for too long, we joined a tour and went for this adventure. Adventure it indeed was: the way to the top was really hard and exhausting; and very steep. After walking for 8 hours we had gone from 649m to 2700m altitude, believe it or nor: that IS very steep. Especially the last two hours were HELL! Luckily we stayed "only" at the crater lake and did not go to the very top (3700m)! During the night temperature fell to maybe 10 or 15 degrees (Celsius)... freezing if you sleep in a tent and got used to tropical temperatures!!!
