Day 3 | 28th April 2017
West Java, Bandung, Indonesia
On Day 3, we decided to visit the West side of Bandung. But first, we had a stop over for a pretty good'ol lunch before arriving to our first destination.
1. Lunch at Saung Andir
My fav drink to get in Indonesia is definitely the Avocado juice. Or they call it Jus Alpukat
Our lunch spread!
2. Kawah Putih (White Crater)
Visited the white crater lake which makes up Mount Patuha. Did a little wiki research and apparently the crater is 2430m above sea level. hmm interests....which explained why it was kinda chilly when we were there. It was a little unfortunate that it was raining on that day (which explains our colourful umbrellas which we had to rent) but nevertheless them umbrellas makes for a good prop in pictures.
The colour of the water reminded me of the blue lagoon spa in Iceland. ahh i miss that place. But the water in bandung was not for swimming. Tho I did touch the water & it was not as hot as I expected.
oh & we were given masks (which we had to purchase also lol) due to the high sulphuric content in the air, though personally I felt like the smell was rather faint.
but yes, I was legitly cold. Thank you 12.90 uniqlo fleece sweater for keeping me warm.
There was also another point of view of the kawah putih from a slightly higher point
& off to our next destination!
3. Patenggang Lake, Ciwidey-Rancabali
This location was still quite nice and mildly chilly. We then decided to take a boat ride to another mini island called Situ Patengan? I don't know man, maybe it's the same island but yes we took the boat across about a 10-15 min ride.
There were kayaks too! but imagine if we capsized...nope not good
We decided to rent the entire boat lol
veh nice hor
& we arrived at the other 'island' that i mentioned about. The island was strange and empty. So many tourist shops but noone....I think we were the only tourists.
Went to a store and met little Dali. It seems like I was more excited than him to take a photo
Look at the fog! I love it!
This is incredible
wow, can already imagine belle and the beast walking down this bridge
& it got more foggier
and nearby the lake area there's this bridge leading up to this huge treehouse which has a restaurant in it
while I'm not sure what the concept is but it does look kinda nice
4. Cimanggu Hot Springs, Ciwidey
In the evening, we decided to take a dip in a hot spring. Once again recommend by our guide, Pak Kurniawan whom was once again more excited to visit the place more than us lol.
The place came in little huts like these which I think are really cute
The hot spring is actually a pool but wow the water was really really hot. It must have been very hot since the area itself is quite chilly. Though a word of caution if you were to visit this place, wear water shoes in the water as the floors are..um...mossy...and green...
Out of all the hotsprings we went to, while all the water was hot all the same, I still preferred the very first one we went to in terms of ambience and cleanliness.
Post hot spring
We then dropped by a mini stall just outside the hot spring entrance for some hot tea
after that we had a late dinner at a bakso store and went back to our hotel
Day 4 | 29th April 2017
Bandung, Indonesia
Day 4 was our chill day where we went to the malls for abit of shopping, mostly for souvenirs and other stuff. I apparently didn't take any photos for the last two days, so I took some screen grabs from videos that I took which was of course of food.
Another place our local guide recommended us. I thought the food was just meh.
Bandung to Singapore
Our last day of Bandung, cause we had an early flight so yup theres nothing much done on that day. Though I love walking to the plane. Very feeling feeling. I know theres a term for the roads...just can't remember what.
Okay then thats all for the trip.
Till my next one! Goodbye!
Till my next one! Goodbye!
