Sari Ater, Hot Spring

It has been a long time since I visited Sari Ater, Hot Spring.
I remembered it was during my childhood days, with my Dad.

It was our first time there as a family.
So, Timmy's first time.

We tried dipping our feet to this pool, where the hot spring came out.
Wusshh...it was hot at first.
But after a while, we get used to it and can get deeper and deeper.
It's amazing how our body can adjust to the heat.

With the water fall. 

Near the large pool 

 ...and we found swings.

one of each of us. 

hahahaha...

the excited boy...

 The view from the swings. 

  I tried dipping my pool into this current of hot water. hehehe..

Beautiful flowers 

The map of the location

Waterfall and people were sitting under it.

 Thermal water chemical analysis. 

We found this spot where there were hot mists coming down from the water fall.
Wusshhh! And I told Timmy this was like the time when he had to be nebulized in the hospital.
But this time, it was naturally nebulized with hot steam from the hot spring. Hahahaha...

Feeling the steam.

Another water fall. 

 

Another pool of hot water.

So, that was our trip to Sari Ater Hot Spring, Bandung.

Bandung Tree Top

While we were at Cikole, we were curious, there were lots of cars coming.
Where are they going?
So, we found out, that they were heading to "Bandung Tree Top".
We decided to check it out. :)

It was amazing. There were lots of flying foxes, webs, etc for people to climb.
Feel like a tarzan, swinging from tree to tree, hang like a spider on the web.

We spotted those 3 brave teenagers on their mark to glide.
Timmy was watching them from the ground.

spot that 3 kids on the top

Ready to swing

 After that swing, they had to hang on to the web on the left, 

then glide among the swaying wood...

Then to this zig zag wood, high on above the ground.

There are lots of circuit available, from easy to difficult.
The one that the 3 kids tried was Red Circuit, 2nd rank of difficulty. Wow!

There were lots of little kids and families around. 

They were playing the easier circuit. 

I was very tempted to try...

from the easiest circuit of course. hahahaha...

Yellow circuit...

But, I didn't bring the shoes...

Thinking that I must watch my steps and consider not to let my sandals fall off,

would be too risky and mind bogging. 

So, we decided to just sit around and watch them. 

hehehehe..

which was entertaining as well. 

Till next time, Bandung Tree Top. 

Bye....

Camping Ground ~ Cikole, Bandung

28th June 2015 - 1 July 2015, we visited Lembang again.
This time, we were blessed with good weather, all sunny and no rain at all during our time there. Yay! We stayed at Hotel Pesona Bamboe.  Please click here for my post on this hotel.

 29th June, we decided to visit Camping Ground Cikole. The place where Benny used to go when he was still a University student for camping. But after we explored the place, it seems to be a different place.  But nevertheless, we had fun, embracing the nature, breathing the fresh air with family.

The boy was super excited.

He read a lot of Enid Blyton's novel and it has inspired him. 

So, this was like an adventure for him. 

But alas, just at the beginning of the trip, down the steps and he fell. 

Ouch! 

The photo of the boy with his bruises and scars on his knee.

Well, what I like about his improvement is

this time round, he winged a little, cry a bit, 

and move on...

with a happy spirit to keep going

Way to go Timmy! Keep it up! 

One happy Mama. :)

 There were 5 camping grounds there, and we explored all of them. 

On the B camping ground, we found tents available. 

The boy was checking it out. hehehe..

Mother and Son

Selfie photo. hehehe..

3 generations. 

Throughout the path, we found a lot of pine cones. 

Those that decorate the Christmas trees. :) 

We spotted "api-unggun" bonfire, campfire. 

This further enhance the "Enid Blyton" stories. Hahaha. 

I said "Let's take a photo here Tim, by the campfire, and imagine that we lit it up last night."

Look at this father and son photo. 

They look so much a like each other. 

with the thing being tied around their waist. 

Hahaha..

Father and Son

Mother and son

Grandma and Grandson

We spotted this beautiful purple flowers that I have never seen before. 

 The path that we crossed that day.

After climbing the camping grounds, we visited the resort at Cikole.

Here' how they look like. 

Lush greens along the way.

I just love the huge trees around us. 

This photo below was taken near our parking spot.

Beautiful, lush greens.

Enjoy the greeneries! :)
