Watching the Sunset from Andong

On the first day of the break I was able to join a small group of people from the school to hike Mount Andong. Though it wasn't the first time to hike in the afternoon but it definitely was the first for me to hike this mountain to watch the sunset. This was my third hiked to Mount Andong. As always, the first 10 minutes was the most painful one because of the elevation. But after this part, the hiking was quite easy with clear trail all the way up to the top. It took less than 2 hours to hike up.

When I got there, the cloud came all around the mountaintop that I couldn't even see a thing. But when everybody got there, the cloud suddenly walked off and the view was clear and stunning as ever. We were able to watch the sunset, it was beautiful but I never thought the sun would went down very quickly. 

Right after the sun dissapeared from the blue sky, the temperature went down drastically. I could adjust this drastic change but it wasn't long that I had to run around to keep my body warm. A few minutes later I decided to hike down in order to keep my sanity from the deep freezing temperature. Sid told me later that after I hiked down, the sky was beautiful.

That was a bummer! I had to blame my grown-up years in the freakin' hot Semarang for missing the experience.
