Bandung 2011 - Day 1 (Part 3 : Kampung Sumber Alam)

Wow, it's taking me ages to even write my first day in Bandung for 2011 huh??? Apologies are in order as I've been occupied with my work lately, which isn't going on well. Too many rejected candidates. Sigh..

Ok let's move on from my work and back to Bandung. We stayed at Kampung Sumber Alam in Garut during our first night in Bandung. No, no NOT that kind of "first night". Haha.. It's time for some time in kolam air panas!!! WeEeEe.. The place was awesome and the view even better. We were surrounded by mountains. Weather was cooling too. We went for a dip during the night and the water was hot hot hot. What you expect??? It's a kolam air panas maa.. Haha..

*That's WELCOME in Sunda*

*My Sis with her BB*

*My dinner*

*They serve it during breakfast.. MmM..*

Since it was already late at night, I was only able to take photos the next day morning. So peaceful. Apologies for not owning a proper camera. Had to use my BB Torch, but im pretty happy with its photo quality. Turns out pretty well. Huhu.. Check out these photos.







After spending the night in Garut, we head back to Bandung. Oh ya.. We stopped at a chocolate shop/factory along the way. It actually sells chocolate + dodol. Weird ain't it??? But it tastes really good. It's called Chocodot (Chocolate Dodol Traditional).  Not bad after all..

Bandung 2011 - Day 1 (Part 2 : Nagreg Hill)

I do have to apologize first and foremost regarding some photos I posted for my Bandung 2011 trip. Some were not good quality photos as I used my Blackberry only for this trip. Last time around we had Madee. Oh well, at least most of 'em were ok, right?? Hehe.. Ok, back to the trip. After checking in at My Family Guest House (check out their FB page), we headed to Garut (except Brader & Kina) for some hot springs!!! OoO yeah.. But before we head to Garut, we went to Nagreg Hill (dragon fruit farm). There were about 30,000 dragon fruit trees there. And the view, was awesome. The weather was so cooling. Though the journey took us about an hour to reach. I couldn't care less about the journey as I truly admire the hills/mountains creted by God..

*View from our van*

*View from the farm*

*Cik Man looking at the view*

*Another view*

*Sape amik gambar sape ni?? Hehe.."

*Another look at the view*

*3 Stooges*

*Eaton sisters. Eh, where's Kak Nana???*

*Me & the truck driver*

While we were there, they invited us for a small feast. At first we were all still full from our lunch. But when we saw the hot steamy rice, chickens, salads and more sambal, we just couldn't resist. We ate just a lil bit but the dish was good. They treated us with those amazing dragon fruits. It was nothing like we had in Malaysia. It was purple-ish and tasted amazing. Unfortunately, i do not have the photos. Too busy eating I guess. Haha..

*Scorpion was there to greet us too*

*It was super indeed*

*That's the dragon fruit*

*Nagreg Hill*

*Cik Man & Ieja wanted to jump into the empty pool or rather falling*

On a funny note, Ieja met one of her long lost friend, Mr Scorpion. AaArRrGgGHhH.. Hehe jangan marah Ieja :P There were other dead and alive insects/animals but just didn't want to scare Ieja even more. Now, I regret not doing so. Hehe..
