Indonesia Nature Trip. Day 5-6: Ciwidey & Bandung

A winding road ahead while riding the shuttle bus
Our travelling continued with 2nd nature day trip to Ciwidey province further 50 km from Bandung. The first stop is the Kawah Putih, a striking lake formed in a volcano crater. We left for Ciwidey early in the morning, but only managed to arrive almost at noon due to heavy traffic.

Once arrived at the main gate, we have to leave our van at the main car park and catch one of those orange mini shuttle bus that brought us another 5km to the crater. The entrance ticket to this crater was RP 20,000 per person and can be bought at the main gate.

We've been told that the atmosphere is high on sulfur
What an amazing view!
Yup, you are not allowed to swim!
Don't stay too long in front of this cave!!

Our lunch at the main gate area
Next, we proceed to Patenggan Lake, a love symbolic of a couple 'Santang and Rengganis' who have been long apart.


We took a boat tour of the lake

Later in the evening, we did our final shopping Cibaduyut and Kopo area. Our inbound flight scheduled in the next day afternoon. Overall, other than shopping, we had a tremendous nature experience in Bandung...
It was time to go back, took a picture with our driver.

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record.  This post will be updated from time to time. 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. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Shopping sakan di Langkawi

Kenangan bersama mak... Bulan januari yang lepas, rombongan keluarga Perak buat trip ke Melaka. Sekarang giliran keluarga Johor pulak pegi berjalan.. errr bershopping sakan di Langkawi. Kalau nak diikutkan, gambar tengah syiok bershopping lagi banyak. Tapi takde sapa yang snap gambar . Hujung minggu kali nie serentak dengan Tahun Baru Cina.. ALhamdulillah dapat kumpulkan adik-beradik bersekali ngan mak ayah, buat trip ke Langkawi. Cuma keluarga adik yang bongsu pergi lebih awal. Dapat la die snap gambar kat Langkawi airport. Pagi hari pertama kami ke KLIA dan tinggalkan kereta kat sana. Takut terlebih2 shopping masa balik nanti, payah pulak nak sewa van. Jadi kami bawak kereta memasing. Kadar parking lebih kurang RM150 untuk 4 hari 3 malam. Bila buat kira2, lebih kurang je dengan sewa teksi pergi balik ke KLIA.

Europe Trip. Day 5: Bruges & Ghent, Belgium

We opted for Bruges and Ghent trip by bus organized by Brussels City Tour . Avail one self of the green scenery along the journey that took about an hour to reach the city center. And nearing Bruges city center, we felt in love with the calm and serene neighborhood. Upon arrival, we were guided to a medieval bell tower known as Belfry of Bruges  from the backside before proceeded to Markt. It was a public square with a neo-gothical architecture of the Provinciaal Hof. We took our sweet time enjoying the view of the Markt.
