Ciater, 17-19 May 2007

Another family vacation, the second time to North Bandung area. This was almost exactly one year after our first trip to the same area. Last time, we did not complete the trip due to the big earthquake in Yogya that forced us to rush back home.

This time the trip was perfect. My Honda Stream has fully loaded with 7 people. We booked at the Sari Ater cottage at Ciater, a small place on the slope of Tangkubanperahu mountain. The cottage is located at the same place as a hot spring tourist object. So hot spring is the main attraction in the cottage. There are two hot spring pools for guests. Even every bathroom has a hot spring tap. People said the minerals are very good for skin health.

Well...this trip was fully a family trip. The focus was on my children. We just follow what they want. Fortunately, there are also interesting activities for children in the cottage complex. There are gokart and ATV (all-terrain vehicle), but they are not recommended for children under 10 years old. Children may also be interested in paint ball games with war settings. For my children who are addicted to war stuff, this is a perfect game. Horse- and cart-riding are also available.

We also went to the peak of Tangkubanperahu, but this time we did not spend much time as it was very crowded, and the weather was not too friendly (raining!).
