That afternoon, they were back and forth around the inn Lava View Lodge, located at an altitude of 2249 meters above sea level, and offer some rooms with views directly facing Mount Bromo is still spitting out volcanic ash. After checking room availability and rates at the inn, Johnson rushed to the edge of the cliff which limits the region with a sea of ​​sand underneath.

The couple want to enjoy again the beauty of Mount Bromo erupted on 26 November 2010. "I see (eruption) on television so curious to see directly," said Roni.

Since tourism was closed after the eruption, Roni has not been back to that place. In fact, before the eruption of Mount Bromo, Roni once every three months to visit.

He did not know if that day tourist area of ​​Mount Bromo reopened on a limited basis within a radius of two kilometers from the point of eruption. Distance of two kilometers, according to the Regent of Probolinggo Hasan Aminuddin, is a safe temporary accommodation for visitors who are allowed to again enjoy the beauty of the area.

Until now, Mount Bromo status is still idle, although there has been decrease in seismic activity. Enchantment sunrise becomes the main attraction.

"After the eruption, apparently still takes a long time to recover. Some facilities were also damaged, "said Roni.

As loyal visitors, Roni is also concerned about the fate of their livelihoods depend on tourism industry in Bromo. Moreover, the number of visitors is still very little.

Pailam, one of Bromo Jeep Club member who manages vehicle type jeep hardtop Toyota FJ 40 for tourists hired, admitted that he had over four months of this manager's vehicle did not move. There are about 200 units operated jeep to go the route home from Hamlet Cemorolawang to Mount Bromo by crossing the region Penanjakan I. Now the cars can not operate normally. "Ever since closed, no (car) that came out (get the lease)," said Pailam.

However, he did not complain. He believes the reopening of the tourist areas, although the route is now routed through Penanjakan II, visitors would come again.

The same thing was said a number of merchants and souvenir T-shirts Mount Bromo, Yanto (23), admitted he usually sells 20 pieces of shirts per day with a profit of about Rp 50,000 per piece. However, since the tourist sites were closed, there is no source of income for him. Land to grow some vegetables, like cabbage and potatoes, are also still covered volcanic ash.

"Now, at most, of (sell) five pieces of clothing per day. That is if there are visitors, if there were no visitors, it does not work, "said Yanto said with a smile.

The last four months, residents in the vicinity of Mount Bromo can not move normally. I do not know how many losses and how many losers as a result of this increase in the status of Mount Bromo.

Travel routes no longer use the old path (up to the lip of the crater), but by creating new pathways beyond the circumference of two kilometers established safe volcanology.

At least that was evident from the number of visitors who enjoy the beautiful panorama of the caldera sea of ​​sand began to increase during the last three weeks.
