afternoon. After a very long trip, we finally arrived in Probolinggo. We arrived at the hotel at 2
p.m. and immediately were ready for our trip to the mountain.

Although Bromo is lower than Penanjakan, our trip proved to be very difficult. While our car
was slowly climbing the mountain, it suddenly became stuck. It slowly moved backward. We
quickly jumped out of the car. The driver asked us to push the car and we did so accordingly. We
pushed and pushed the car but the engine couldn't start. When we were so tired to push, we

feet (2 meters) long and weighing about 11 pounds (5 kilograms).

My family likes spending time by the sea very much. When we had a holiday last year, we
went to a place at the seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our friends. Then we sailed and
fished in the sea all day. We also had races against other boats.
When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead. There were a lot of
sharp rocks, and the water was shallow, so we must be careful because we did not want to
damage our friend’s boat.
There were not many fish in the lake, but we caught a lot when we sailed to the sea. The fish
were not very big, but they tasted very good. We sailed to the land at lunch time, collected pieces
of dry wood and fried or grilled our fish at the beach. All of us enjoyed our meals. It was the
most wonderful day for my family.
