Today we woke up early for the check out at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jakarta, and at 9AM the team was already all set in the bus for the trip to Bandung. As you can see in the picture below, we were veeery excited!
According to Waya and Dany (the ABV Managers who provide us with orientation during all the program), the trip could take 2 hours or even 5 hours depending on the traffic. In fact, it took us 7 hous to arrive in Bandung!!! But fortunately, it was NOT because of the traffic. That was because of the two amazing stops we made during our way. The first one was at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, a nice Indonesia miniature park where we could see a little bit of the architecture styles of Indonesia, clothing, dances and traditions. We rode a cable car in order to have an overview of the entire park and it was lovely! It made us feel even more in love with the cultural aspects of this country.
After one more hour on the road, we stopped by a rest area located at km 57 in order to have lunch and a quick stop-by. Some of us tried the local food, which was delicious! The below pictures are the local food menu and the option which Karen and I elected was 424: Bihum Ayan Pangsit Rebus Bakso. It was basically a combination of noodles, chiken and meat balls. Delicious!!!
At 4pm in the afternoon, we were finally able to get to our future home for 4 weeks. Bandung is a city full of contrasts, where rich and poor live very closely to each other. The Bed and Breakfast we're going to leave in for the next weeks has a good location and has all types of facilities at walking distance. We'll keep you posted about the news from Bandung!
