3rd Day @ Bandung

30th March 09~~ bout 5.50 da bgn.. pstu x bole nk tdo...  Today, mera plan nak bawa pg Kawah Putih (KP). Tempat bekas gunung berapi. My sis went to Tangkuban Parahu. Tp mera recommend  pg Kawah Putih, so i follow u.... hehe;)

That morning, around 9am, pak kereta sewa tu picked me up first bawa kereta Avanza black color. then pg ke rumah mera di Jalan Caringin. Some of her friends(soon become my frens too. hehe) pun ikut same.  Salmi, Nisa, and Aizon... Last minute aizon nk ikut... haha. so we waited for her to get ready. while waiting, pg la topup kejap kartu XL yg beli mase 1st day aritu... kat sana, nk topup, sebut 'pulsa'... 

we went to a supermarket just about a hundred meters away from the Jln Caringin junction where i stopped by to topup my mobile number.. i was at shocked when i saw chicken heads being sold at the supermarket..zzzzz.. i wonder how do the locals cook and serve this chicken heads...yaikss.. looks disgusting to me..huhu. 

Then i saw few Gouramies. Ikan Kaloi dlm bahasa melayunya... nmpk macam ikan kaloi sungai... confirm bukan ikan kaloi sabah, mahupun ikan kaloi emas...hehe.

Then all of us bertolak la ke KP. Perjalanan agak jauh.... bout 2-3 hours... mcm2 la nmpk on the way.... ade sawah padi kat celah2 kedai lg...zzzz. secara kecil2an je... at some point, mula la jalan utk naik bukit, on the way, sangat banyak kebun2 strawberry. lots of small strawberry farms along the way nk ke KP. smakin tggi kte naik bukit tu, lebih banyak kebun2 kecil yang kelihatan. ade juga ladang yang besar. Most of the farms kat situ, offer visitors to pick strawberries on their own with a small amount of fee of coz. then to bring back the picked strawberries, they will charge according to the weight. All of us plan to stop by on the way back nanti. But unfortunately, in the end we all tak sempat untuk singgah petik strawberry..zzzzz..huhu...

We reached the Kawah Putih entrance after more than 2 hours journey... Then kena bayar pula.zzzz 20k per pax. huhu.. we saw a board stating 10k fee for visitors... i guess mayb they knew we are Malaysians, so they took advantage charging us double the amount. zzz... Nvm then.. its just around Rm6 plus anyway... we proceed further in the jungle, and 10 minutes later, we arrived...

Left pic, i was at the parking area. there are so many stalls selling merchandise, strawberries, and stuff.

We had to walk a hundred meters to the main attraction point. The real 'Kawah Putih'.

(Pic on the right). The stairway down tu KP. From left is mera, aizon, nisa, and me. 

The atmosphere was pretty cold. my long sleve shirt isnt enough to keep me warm..zzz luckily i brought my windbreaker...;) mera already warned me that the place is as cold as Genting Highland....

Then we walked down, and proceed.

All these pics masa kat Kawah Putih.

Me and my new friends. Salmi, Aizon and Nisa....:D  (Mera old friend... haha:-P)

We spent about an hour plus kat KP... Then off to Batu Cinta.. (Love Rock) yeahhh;)   

Less than an hour further ahead KP... Theres a damn huge lake kat situ... nama tempat tu, 'Situ Patengan'... area Ciwidey... 

These pics, mase kat tasik tu.... kene naik boat or 'itik' untuk ke Batu Cinta... I naik itik dgn Salmi... Aizon pula share itik dgn Nisa.. kite race.. haha...

Mera tak ikut... die takut naik itik.. hahah.. actually its quite scary jgk... coz the lake is bloody huge... i pn cuak kalu ape2 trjd kat tgh2 tu..zzzzz

Sewa itik about 30k per pax kalu x silap i... thats for 1 hour... its just nice utk kitorg... to head to Batu Cinta naik itik bout 20mins cycling. then spend some time took some pics kat sana, then balik another 20mins to cycle...;) excercise... (salmi xyah pg aerobic that nite)..haha:D   

The sun was hot, but humidity was fine. i didnt sweat that much. its a cool place.

These pics was at Batu Cinta. Surrounded by the lake, and tea plantations. Amazing scenery. Very nice view from the top.. ;)

Then, cycle balik itik tu... then some of us beli strawberry. Salmi beli banyak... i just bought 1 packet je..zzz. 5k only.... i think 1 packet tu bole isi lebih kurang 50 biji kot... btol x u all?....zzz..

 

Then we went to look for a place to makan....:) finally we found 1. This time, i tried Nasi Padang pula..... Cost me Rp10k. (inclusive of Fruit Tea drink)..  mcm nasi campur la kat malaysia... amik lauk sayur pucuk ubi, n juga sotong... the locals call it 'cumi'... ;)   Since then i started to call salmi cumi.... hehehe:D cute je bunyinye....;)
Jangan marah ye salmi..... saje mengusik... hehe. pastu dalam kereta, x sudah2 nk sebut cumi... cmbest je sebut cumi... :D melekat dlm kepala ni smpi skrg... haha

 

After that, our last destination for that day was PVJ. Paris Van Java.... marvelous place... dlm shopping complex ade mcm garden... konon2nya mcm kat paris nye concept la tu.... haha.... another attraction to me was, ade kolam ikan koi kat toilet... ikan tu bole swim pegi ladies toilet, n swim pegi toilet lelaki....  sronoknye ikan tu... hahaha.. creative ;)

Simple dinner for me that night... Just bought buns at Bread Talk... Salmi n Nisa menikmati Sushi berdua-duaan... Whereas mera, Aizon, n me, kitorg jalan2 je....

Then balik,... titoooooo

Thats about it on my third day in Bandung ~~
