    The Jakarta Post today reported "Anak Krakatau volcano, situated in the Sunda Strait, erupted 12 times on Sunday, spewing hot ash and debris into the atmosphere.

    The head of the volcano monitoring post in Pasauran, Banten, Anton Tripambudi, said volcanic tremors from Anak Krakatau had reached 5.575 on the Richter scale on Saturday evening".

    So there may still be hope yet for an Eruption Special visit on the 30th October!

    Unfortunately, I don't think it is worth going and there are not enough inscriptions, too. So, we better wait a bit more.
