Indonesia Nature Trip. Day 4: Lembang

Tangkuban Perahu is one of those recommended trip, situated about 30 km from Bandung. A volcano that last erupted in 1983, we descended from the edge of the crater to the boiling mud on the hot surface. It is, actually, not so many tourist going down, but we dared enough to explore the crater, The experience, nothing can beat the atmosphere and in fact we were enjoying the 'crater spa' at the Kawah Domas.

After spending about 2 hours, we proceed to Cikole and taste of the famous Kopi Luwak. Later, we stopped at one of the abundant stalls selling 'sate kelinchi' by the road side.

De' Ranch is one of the family attractions and highly recommended for children. Considering the admission ticked we need to pay of only IDR 10,000 per person, we found a lot of arcades which are popular with children, such as horseback riding, trampoline games, boat riding, and much more. However, all of these attractions come with cheap ticket, still we had our enjoyable family time here.

The sky turns into dark and start raining heavily in that evening, so we got stuck in the park. We still got another tourist spot to be visited which was Lembang Floating Market. I was about to skipped it, but it was ranked first by Tripadvisor for the best shopping spot. The floating market offers variety of local Sunda food served in a small boat parked along a wooden deck.

Late in the evening, we straight away went back to the hotel. We skipped the shopping time at night as we were too exhausted.

Some of the trip may have a specific write-up and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor.

Indonesia Island Trip. Day 1: Lombok - Gili Terawangan

Sarapan pagi kat airport We had been rotating to visit the Southeast Asia country each year and this is the fourth time visit to Indonesia after Bali (2010), Bukittinggi (2012) and Bandung (2014). Looks like we made a return every 2 years, that's interesting! We may need to consider other countries like Brunei, Philippines or Cambodia in the near future. Three hours later, we arrived Lombok International Airport at noon. We were welcomed by Pak Ibrahim's staff shortly after clearing immigration and collecting our luggage. The weather that day was slightly overcast. En route to Teluk Kodek Port, we stopped at Sukarara Weaving Village. By the time we reached there, it was raining heavily. It is a traditional craft of weaving center located in Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. Not much seen as it felt, we had ayam taliwang for lunch at Taliwang Alam Nyaman restaurant, known for its famous local dish. Alpukat Jus (Avocado Juice) is also a must try whenever you vi...

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings. It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..
