Enjoying Ciwidey

Complete is one word for Bandung. It's urban city yet natural one. We can easily find restaurant with good taste and cheaper price (than Jakarta). Bandung has many stories for me personally. The dream, love, project, etc. Last week I went to Bandung for quality time with my friends.

Licu is my travel mate in Phuket. She lives in Bandung nowadays. We stayed in her spacious house for a night. We arrived around 8 p.m. Beside some of my mates whom I already knew. I had many new friends, Apri, Khell and Ocin (I've met Ocin before just for a few minutes).

We had dinner in Eat Boss. It is located in Dago. The price is quite cheap. I ordered Chicken Cordon Blue (IDR 33.000), Big Passion Apple Tea (IDR 15.000) and Pizza half meter (IDR 50.000). I was so full. I need to take extra effort to finish all of meals. I really love the big apple tea. The size is literally big.

In the next day, we went to Ranca Upas. I was so excited because this place is so famous for prewedding photoshoot. There is much deer. I just found that my expectation was quite high. When I was there, I didn't found any special spot. Maybe, because it was raining and I didn't explore that much. However, it was still special because I have friend who I can take the photographs.

We continued to Kawah Putih. I didn't really excited because I have been there a few years ago. Moreover I expected the spot was so overcrowded. Yes it was crowded. Nonetheless, we still have great pictures there. Thank god for the foggy weather. I really love the smoke. It covered the green look of the lake. And hopla, it looks like in switzerland. You can see some pictures below.

Woza cafe is our choice to spend our lunch time. Again, the price is affordable. I forget the detail, but it's still cheaper than it looks (considering the place). I ate nasi timbal and woza tea. The taste is 6/10. The interior is designed that we feels in the zoo. They use tiger and zebra pattern at the chair. We took some pictures there and Apri, Khell and Ocin directly backed to Jakarta while the rest of us backed to Licu's house.

Taking a rest, having conversation with Licu's family, having dinner and finally we had to back to Jakarta. Before going to Jakarta, we stopped at Mama Eha. Zainal was having high desire to go there. I just order teh tarik and the service was so slow.

Eventually we arrived in Jakarta at 2 a.m and we still had to wake up early because we needed to go to the office. Thank you guys for this very short gateaway and thanks for being my model :)

See you, Klaus :D

Lebaran Means Liburan

Started by spontaneous asking, our eid holiday had begun. In the Friday Pray, my friends asked me to go to Sukabumi. I inevitably accepted that invitation. I starved for the holiday. I need fresh air, new story, new experience. Moreover, I hasn't been playing with my neighbors for quite long time. It was great time to strengthen relationship with them.

They planned to go to Sukabumi using motorbike. Usually, I rejected this kind of crazy idea. Nevertheless, I think it will be memorable experience for me. I used Rudy's motorbike and he drove all day long forth and back. Though I didn't drive but my ass can't lie. Sitting on the bike for more than 5 hours is literally not comfy.

We reached the location around 1 a.m. Actually we didn't book any hotel before going to the Sukabumi. We had two options. The first one was staying in house of Rudy's sister. The second one was staying in the hotel that my friend (Ojan) don't know exactly the name and location of the hotel. Ojan had stayed in the hotel where the location is nearby the vacation spot. However he forgot the name. He just remembered that the name is Vila Tanpa Nama. It is literally Villa Tanpa Nama. It just sounds so horrible. In the middle of the night, we asked some people where the Villa Tanpa Nama is. Sounds like in horror movie. Apparently the Villa Tanpa Nama has been changed to Villa Araya and the room was full at that time. Therefore, we decided to stay in the motel nearby the lake.

After sleeping, we woke up and went to the lake. The name is Danau Situgunung. The lake is absolutely amazing. It seems like in Africa or Amazon. I really love that spot. And the sun was so friendly to me. I confidently present some of picture which captured by me :)

AND I LOVE THESE SCENERIES

The second spot is the waterfall. We spent around 30-60 minutes to reach the waterfall. Arrived in the waterfall and I saw many people scattered everywhere. It just too disorganized. It was hard for me to find good spot to capture beautiful scenery.

This is my favourite picture in this spot

When we wanted to back to motel, we ordered some Ojek (Taxi Bike). Because some of us was tired already. We paid for IDR 30.000 per person. When we take the motorbike, two of us using the same motorbike. So, there are three people on the motorbike (driver and two of us). Previously, we thought that the price is expensive. However it was so worthed after seeing the track. It was so dangerous. The track is full of mud, wet soil, big rock and the space is less than 1 meter. Beside the track is the the gorge. It was so awful.

After taking a bath, having a lunch, we went to house of Rudy's sister. The distance is around 10 kilometers to our motel. We just took a rest and in the night we went to the cafe. We back to Jakarta in the third day around 1 p.m. We stopped for enjoying durian soup in the first stop and also for late lunch in Bogor. We arrived at house around 6 p.m.

It was tiring travel yet exciting :)
