Lombok - Rinjani Guides

As we had planned (and kati had dredded), the next stop was renting a scooter on the island Lombok and heading to the volcano Rinjani - to climb it. The 2 day hike was one of the coolest things I've ever done, I think I can say the same for Mattes, but also one of the most exhausting. Luckily we "only" had to carry our small backpacks - the team of porters and our guide carried the tents, cooking things, etc. and created the greatest meals!! even banana pancake for breakfast!

Some of the porters with the traditional carrying utensils - I don't know how they do it... and none of them have shoes, it's either flip flops or barefoot...
