Crater lake
|

|

|
Preparing small raft made of inflatable
matraces before swimming over the lake with original intention of
approaching the small acive volcano inside the main Rinjani crater
|
After swimming for half an hour over
crater lake, we encountered big very sharp volcanic boulders there.
They did not look so big and sharp from the other side, going over
would be very very long and demanding.
|

|

|
Well, maybe next time one could bring
small inflatable boat and paddle to more distand and easier part of
crater lake in order to approach the small volcano.
|
Back from this refreshing and a bit cold
swimming
