Lembang Area, 26 - 27 May 2006

A family trip to West Java. Destination: Lembang. My wife wanted to go to a cool place this time. We chose Lembang because we haven't had any chance to go there. The trip was pleasant even with baby Izna was on board for more than 9 hours. Apparently, he is just the same as our older children: he loves to travel :)

We stayed at an old hotel, the Grand Lembang. The room was spacious but a bit dark. We didn't care much because we were to tired to complain for that.

The next morning was a trip to Tangkubanperahu. The mountain is famous for its crater. The sulphuric smell stinked when we approached the top of the mountain. Unfortunately there is no way for visitor to descend down to the crater... well, there may be one, but surely I wouldn't try to find it :)

We didn't stay long at the top. We then approached Ciater, the place of a hot water spring. It is said that the spring water is good for skin health. I don't know whether it is true or not, but surely it was relieving when I put my legs into the pool.

On the second day, we plan to go to Bandung, but early in the morning I got a shocking phone call: there was a big earthquake in Yogyakarta. We then rushed back home, and alhamdulillah everyone in the big family was safe.
