The Batur lake in east Bali is one of place in the island where you can find an amazing volcano landscape. This place was also become more popular as a film scene, Tv ads ...etc and some people make it as a background for their pre-wedding shot.
I recently attended one of my office colleague who actually stay in the crater of Batur, and this is a good opportunity to visit the crater again. The main road of the lake mostly good, but this seems not maintained well, so one should be careful with their vehicle. The landscape surrounding mostly rocks with mountain grass, and some part are trees, the air temperature chill especially in the morning, and not hot on the day time, so whenever you go, you can enjoy walking, or riding your bike, or motor bike. My friend house is just right at the foot of Batur mountain, imagine an active volcano as your backyard?! this is why I think his wedding party becomes very special.
From most of Balinese people you've found in the island, the skin of people who lives in this crater seem to be different from those who lives along the coast, they whiter with eyes like Chinese.
Anyway, overall I love my week-end vacation this time, and would love to visit again sometimes.
