Kampung Daun Culture Gallery & Cafe | Bandung | May 2015

Before going back to Jakarta, we just had to have lunch at this place. By far, my most favourite place to dine in. It is somehow a bit pricey but with a view to kill and luscious green surroundings, we just could not resist it. I am so in love! Sitting like you are somehow in a kampong style, eating with nothing but your bare hands while water flows just next to your hut.  There are simply a variety of food to choose but we had the ones in a platter, each of us. There is no other better way to end this trip in Bandung.

Floating Market Lembang | Bandung | Day 3 | May 2015

Sun is shining, Such a beautiful morning. I t was so bright that day but the wind was blowing, greeted by a welcome drink  ( which you get to choose from at the counter ) at the main entrance of Floating Market Lembang.  Where to, next?  It was a rather huge park but we only have like an hour or so. First stop was the art gallery shop which display most paintings of beautiful Bandung. And it was also a souvenir shop for those who wanted to buy gifts for friends and family. We walked around for a bit while capturing moments along the way. See where the road lead us to. Walking,  Passing by, We then went for a few minutes boat ride. Thank God that it was a sunny day and it was not raining. Weather's been really great.  Saying goodbye to the rabbits and duckies.  A rather super quick walk, I hate it when we were running out of time. The next time, I am coming back to have the whole

Bandung | Indonesia | Day 2 | May 2015

A lovely morning from Bandung. Up and about for a delicious spread of buffet. Had breakfast like a king because we were going up to the highland today. Which was a couple of hours drive from town.    After that traffic jam in Bandung, an hour plus or so, we have reached the strawberry village. Weather was fine, not that cold but a bit windy. It was a perfect day for plucking fresh strawberries. A basket full of strawberries later, we were seated with various dishes for lunch. And coconut water for refreshment before heading to another adventure. It was the weekend. Yet another long drive. So it was expected  that the queue up to 'Kawah Putih' was longer. It was super crowded for my liking. It's kind of hard to take a nice picture. See what I mean? But I took the opportunity to snap this picture at the side. Yes, when it was less crowded and no one was ruining my frame. Hehe! Surprisingly, this picture I'

Jakarta-Bandung | Indonesia | Day 1 | May 2015

Landed and safely reached the new terminal of Soekarno-Hatta International airport. As soon as we got through our bags and immigration, we were greeted by our guide and driver. They brought us to a nice place to have lunch at a restaurant nearby. A nice place to begin but my oh my, I accidentally deleted the pictures. But oh well!  Hello Jakarta,  Nice to meet you. This is my first time here and it was love at first sight.  You have that charm of your own. Skyscraper tall buildings, crowds on a highway. You are beautiful being yourself.  Traffic was really bad on the way out from Jakarta to Bandung. Too many cars in the big city. We had a few pit stop at some rest area now and then. Drinks, snacks of banana fritters and their famous tauhu sumedang along the way.  Hours drove by, with some local Indonesian and reggae songs to kill. I was so sleepy but knowing who I am, I never slept on road trips because for a reason I will missed part of the b
