Mt Rinjani

Going off to a 3D/2N trek onto Mt Rinjani in Lombok, Indonesia and another 3Days of frolicking on the beaches, more or less a reward for the anticipated calf-stretching (or maybe back-breaking) hike up the live volcano. So no post from 23-28 Nov. Am praying for good weather (no flash floods => mudslides) and that Rinjani remains calm and not spew fire at us. Hopefully, she had already vented the year's store of anger in May earlier... Unfortunately, we are not going to go to the summit because we decided that the trek should be leisurely and we are not ego freaks who want to conquer anything. So it's up to the crater lake for supposedly amazing views and a nice soak in the hot springs during the 3D stay up there. Holga is coming along (not Chelsea unfortunately cos gotta pack light) and will post photos soon. The itinerary is here => http://www.lombok-network.com/rinjani/lake_trek.htm
