Batur Volcano and Lake

Batur and around is a fascinating part.

Probably the closest one can get to the fire spitting volcanoes. From the road which leads down to the water a black patch of burned grass can still be seen from the last eruption (watch the video). The lake itself is covering the crater of the Batur Volcano but there are some more lava outlets on the large hills which surrounds the area. 


In the morning the blue sky greets the traveler and in the afternoon the fog / clouds moves in, often some light rain splashes down. Here is what people call “culture landscape” means all primary forest has been cut but they are lucky, the ocean brings such an amount of water throughout the years and the volcanoes an amazing fertile ground so nothing can happen whatever they do. 

Here the indigenous Balinese People are living

Who predated the Hindu settlers who arrived in the 16th Century from the Majapahit kingdom. The place can only be accessed by boat which makes sure that the people have their quiet life and are not bothered by the “wishi washi” of the Google sketchiness which only goes the MacDonald Way > volume and bla-bla. What do people in Mountain View / USA know about the world? > almost nothing they just ruminate what sound-waves bring.
