Gunung Tangkuban Perahu

The last time I visited Gunung Tangkuban Perahu was when I was a kid. 
Here's the photo when I was a kid, when we could still from my shortest cousin to the tallest which was me at that time. Hahaha...
Now...I'm the shortest. Hahaha..
From left to right: Rudi, Herman, Andri, Hans, Helen. 

The crater of Tangkuban Perahu




They sell this cute little trees on the bark.

Having fun sharing the corn.  Jagung Bakar. Hehehehe..


..and shared with Dad too. Hahaha..



The man played nice music with the Angklung. 


And the boy watched. 











The sulfur 
 This is the interesting "Batik Tree", they called it. 
We saw the man cut out the bark and these 'batik' motif emerged. 




Nice mountain view...
The layered mountain...
The lush greeneries....
God's greatness...




The lucky part was, we went to Mount Tangkuban Perahu on 29 December 2014, 
and on 30th December 2014, the mountain was closed for visitors due to the seismic movement. 
Lucky us that we have went and nothing happened when we were there. 


Hotel Pesona Bamboe, Lembang.

Christmas is always the best time of the year.
The Christmas carols can be heard any where.
Christmas tree filled with ornaments...


The hotel where we stayed had this huge Christmas tree at their entrance.


We stayed at Hotel Pesona Bamboe, Lembang.
Cozy little hotel...
It's half the price than Sandalwood.
and we were surprised beyond the standard that we expected.


Father and Son



Timmy's up to Dad's shoulder...nearly..

The cute ants hanging on the wall. 

They had balcony over-looking the pool. 





And the choices of their breakfast is excellent. 
They provide juices, ice coffee, hot tea, hot coffee, cakes, donuts, porridge, nasi goreng, mie goreng, eggs, chicken, sautee vegetable, salad, cereals, fruits.



The swimming pool. 

What's more, there is a side door, leading straight to church. 
Lembah Karmel 2. 
Wow.... just within walking distance. 
Here's the ants near that gate. 



 The boy had his "Courage Training" of crossing this sky bridge. 
He was so scared at the beginning, forcing to be held. 
I was cooing him, "you can do it", refusing to hold his hand, I am just next to you.
Until finally, he wanted to go by himself, and I just stood at the end of the bridge, taking photos. Hehehehe...


 At the hotel lobby, they had this football table. 
We played and had fun. 

At first, it was Timmy against me. 
Then Dad came along, so the boys team up against the girl. 
2 vs 1
And I scored a lot of goals at the beginning, despite 2 against 1. 
Hahahaha...
But I lost in the end. Hihihi..

This was taken on our check out day. 


@Floating Market Lembang

We went on a 3 days 2 nights trip to Lembang. 
Getting away from the city life, up near the mountains for a change... :) 
Had an opportunity to visit Floating Market Lembang. 

The place was crowded with people. 
But the views are nice....


People sell their food on the boat. 
Interesting....
The boy had his Chicken Gordon Blue..
and paid with the Floating Market coins. :) 

They had paddy fields...
Angklung for us to play...
Fishes to feed...
"Gubug" for us to sit back and relax...and eat... Hahaha..






We had fun that day...
