It
was Saturday, when my friends came to my house and they picked me up by car.
They told me that We were going to go out of town. That was unpredictable and
really made me suprise because we will go to Bandung and there wasn’t any
confirmation to me before.
At
10 o’clock in the morning, We started the journey from my house and realized that the road was very crowded.
Then, We decided to take toll road to save the time. About thirty minutes
later, We were out from toll road and continue the journey. We tried to find a
store to buy some food and drink as our provisions. After that, we continued
our trip to Bandung. Well, it took approximately about three hours to get
there.
We
were arrived at Pasteur, Bandung around 1 p.m. It was rainy outside when I came
into Holiday Inn. The Inn was in the center of Bandung. The toll road was so
crowded. At the first night I went arround and stopped at on of Boutique
nearby. I bought 2 special t-shirts from Bandung.
The
next day We’ve spent the whole day at Tangkuban Parahu. Tangkuban Parahu is the
name of a mountain in West Java. It's a famous mountain through the legend of
Sangkuriang and Dayang Sumbi. We enjoyed the scenery of Tangkuban Parahu Crater.
The way to get there was really nice, we could see the fields and woods around
us with the beautiful mountain behind them. Furthermore, we could feel the
fresh air which was difficult to find in Jakarta. The Crater was full of smoke.
I looked very deep and also dangerous. Well, the situation there was really
amazing. It was the right place to relax our self and mind. The beautiful dam with
the blue sky were really wonderful mixture of nature. We relaxed and felt calm.
And did not forget to take pictures together. Unfortunetely, the rain disturbed
the beautiful panorama.
The
car took me to the center of town before the sunset. We came to Pasar Baru in
the center of Bandung. Pasar Baru is name of market. It provided a lot of
clothing and goods as special souvenirs. After we got a lot of gift, we left
Bandung in the evening.
