BANDUNG!! Day 1

Day 1 | 26th April 2017

Bandung, Indonesia

Hi guys, I've been very busy lately and now that I'm finally done with exams and work, I finally have time to do the things I love. (which also includes doing nothing)

So yes, I recently went to Bandung! It was my first time there and also my very first trip out of singapore in 2017. Yea, I started my travels a little late this year. Nevertheless it was a nice and short getaway.

1. Flight with Airasia

For someone whom travels quite abit, I'm surprised that I never took airasia before. For a short journey about 2 hours, not too shabby.

 lol, my excited face

 yayy finally in the air after soo long. Goodbye Singapore!

 Hello Bandung!

2. Arriving Bandung

If there's one thing about Indonesia I love, it has got to be the amount of drivers available to drive you around. Though I did not like the immigration process which consisted of hundreds of us squeezing in the small area with no queue control. Oh well, that can't be helped.

Anyway, the dad picked out a random guy as our driver for that day (which actually turned out to be our driver for the entire trip, lol), he drove us to have lunch and went to our hotel.

Oh and did you know that Bandung is really famous for it's crazy traffic jams. and they weren't kidding. Even though our hotel was just nearby, it took us slightly longer due to the traffic and the one way road.

 he took us to eat Nasi Padang at a local restaurant in which I don't know the name of the store. But the food was great! I love anything with the green chilli, or so they call it 'Cabe hijau'. I was also intrigued by how their Nasi Padang was laid out. Basically they lay out every dish and then you pay for what you eat. Kinda like in a Sushi restaurant.

3. Hilton Hotel

Since the hotel was having quite a good deal on Expedia, we decided to try it out. I honestly have never tried Expedia before, though it's cause my mum was the one who made the booking. I guess it's safe to say that we had no issues with our booking. And the hotel was pretty niceee

we rested for abit before our night adventures began

4. Sari Ater Hot Springs

I lovee hot springs. While I didn't have extremely high expectations for this hot springs, I was pleasantly surprised by how hot it actually was. It would say quite comparable to the Reykadalur geothermal stream I had in Iceland. So yes it was very hot and very nice.

If I remember correctly, this place is 24 hours lol. So to avoid crowd visit this place at night. There will also be some masseurs hanging around the area to give you a massage if you need one.

 My mum decided to do a feet massage for an hour. I think it was $10?

Though one thing I noticed about the water was that it made our eyes sting a little

 Happy and hungry people

 Our driver then brought us to eat Sundanese food. Once again I have no idea where this place is lol. But yes, it was good.

 oh and meet our driver, Pak Kurniawan.

That's all for day 1!

Stay tuned for more!

Have a great weekend
