Trip to Bromo : Day 2


Assalamu'alaikum...


We came back to our hotel over 11pm last night and was sleeping beauty (and the beast) hehhee.. Before that, the driver offer us the beautiful scenery a long the way to "Bukit Teletubbies & Pasir Berbisik" through different track as he said this track is specialized for Hartop. We answered directly without excuse and he asked us to depart from hotel at 7amtomorrow morning  to Batu Secret Zoo (Jatim Park II). After having breakfast, check out, arrived, yak! As I guessed yesterday, the zoo is open at 10am, Hisssh! Finally the driver could see my disappointed face then invite us to come back on Monday from Bromo and before off to Jakarta (I still overthinking again it would be tight schedule..hmmm why not?). We took some picts there and went directly to Bromo afterwards.

I put together our picts outside Batu Secret Zoo as all the picts are blur taken by our tour guide :'(
Seems we were standing in front of White House... :-D
 

Nope, they were not making pre-wedding photo..LOL!
Unfortunately we met bad weather along the way to Bromo.. Heavy rain and foggy hiks! We insisted our driver (as our guide as well) to go here tomorrow morning after visiting 'Kawah Bromo'. We only captured the scenery inside the running car, in low speed and the window half-opened. Here are some views, catch beautifully by my lens :')
For taking this view, we stopped and out from the car
The farmers were in a slope nearly 90 degrees..and the most stable result pict taken  as the other picts are blur hehee


Finally we reached "Bukit Teletubbies" (picts above) and below is our picts at "Pasir Berbisik". Aaah, we all could not say anything, speechless and grateful..for being and living in Indonesia, Alhamdulillah... Our dreams come true for seeing both great places which part of wonderful Indonesia..

Narcism attack us, but not even so to our tour guide (blur again hiikss)
 After sight-seeing we headed to our new hostel at Bromo Permai which is the first Hotel from Pasir Berbisik and the last Hotel if we want to go to Bromo (can you imagine, please?hehee)..

Tired and Crazy at the same time :-D

We continue the trip around Bromo, seeing Tengger's tribe and to go for Duriaaan...Yeaayy! 





We are all crazy and in love with Durian! LOL

Trip to Bromo : Day 1


Assalamu'alaikum...

Frankly, I'm not a backpacker and don't like travel much.. Nevertheless I had my several trip around this beautiful country, Indonesia.. Yep, my previous posts remind me  - Satu Hari Yang Cerah & Asmara Nusantara  -that I have visited (only) more than 3 cities though and "Damn, Indonesia is extremely gorgeous!".. I promise to myself regarding my resolution this year should be exploring Indonesia moooreee.... (InshAllah, aamiin!)

And yep, finally my office mates and I decided to take our first trip to Bromo from 29March - 02April, woohoo! Since there was not train tickets available on Thursday, we need to take 1 day leave on next Monday *chickendance*. I told you before, that this post will be containing a huge number of pictures than a story itself hehee.

We were departing from Gambir railway station by KA. Gajayana. I went to supermarket on my way to station to buy snacks & drinks for our long journey and then bought meals at station (Hoka Hoka Bento) as we haven't all had lunch yet. Finally we take off around 6pm and separated in 3 different hopper. Around 8pm, Putri insisted to have a meeting in restoration.

 

Since we ate Bakso there, I had my HokaHoka Bento in the early morning at 1am then the passenger beside me suddenly woke up (maybe the smells is so strong yaa hakhakhak). Alhamdulillah..we reached Malang Kota Lama station around 09.30am and our driver was ready at the exit gate. Let's name him, Mas Buwagyoooo :D A bit suprised when you imagined the strange area and guess the vehicle will be *errrmmm* but No! We got Ertiga (new brand, and just bought a month a go WAW!) as our rental car during our trip here. The driver took us for having lunch at Kota Wisata Batu and the journey was only an hour.

Okay, it is not ready yet.. the food we had was not enough on the table later, lol!

After lunch we headed to apple orchard, unfortunately we had heavy rain on the way so the driver drop us to his office nearby the orchard meanwhile awaiting the good weather. Okay, an apple cider welcoming us and the fabulous scenery were great when the orchard itself nothing special though.





We off to Coban Rondo waterfall afterwards. Seems we did not get the right time to come, once we took some pictures there the heavy rain was coming (again) hiks..

The two-guys were not our members, okay... :D
 


The time went so fast, time to check-in and have some rest. I don't think so this building called hotel as they have each house with different design & capacity. Yet overall the hotel is (again) nice. They have some plantation area, totally support the fresh and cold weather  there.






 At 7pm we went out to have dinner then off to BNS (Batu Night Spectacular). Gosh, I thought we were in a small city, but we found out the jam is same as Jakarta when you visit Ancol, TMII, etc. in holiday! Krrr, finally our driver put the car quite far from there  and we should walking around 5-10minutes (not a big deal, huh?). You only need to pay IDR 7,000 each for entrance ticket . A lot of interesting and challenging outdoor games. The very cheap ticket is the attraction maybe, therefore you pay for those games you play.. It's fair yet the shame when we only entered Lampion Garden ( I forgot the tix price) and Alibaba hahahaaa.. *tua-tua bukan keladi, tapi ga berani*







The end of our journey at BNS.. ^_^
