Camping right at the rim of Ijen volcano. Fortunatelly, the wind was blowing so hard there, that we almost did not smell otherwise pretty nasty sulphur smoke from down the crater.

Workers and tourists meet all along the path to crater lake

Another much smaller business is using the thick water containg sulphur to make some things out of sulphur after the water evaporates selling that to tourists.

Each worker mines for himself the suphur that he later carries down, usually more then 60 kg

Hot springs Air Panas Cangar, near Sumber Brantas, above Batu town.

Black leaf monkey just above the springs. I missed these monkeys at Rinjani national park in Lombok and surprisingly saw them at last in Java

We finally found souvenir shops in Jakarta, marked as flea market in Lonely Planet guidebook
