Dylan was keen to check the sites and visit some historical landmarks that Bandar Lampung is known for. In the 1800’s the island volcano of Krakatau erupted and is reported to be the closest the Earth came to being destroyed by such an eruption. It killed over 40,000 people in Sumatra and created 40m tidal waves.
 
The noise of the eruption was reported to be heard by a local sheriff on an island community off the coast of Africa. The Krakatau monument was of a buoy that was pushed several kilometers inland was preserved to highlight the power of the eruption.

However when we arrived at the monument, it was far less than impressive. It had graffiti and paint on with odd colors that really made the buoy and waste of time in my eyes unfortunately. We then proceeded to cycle back up the steep hill to the comfort of our A/C hotel.
