[Travel] Roundtrip Indonesia - Bandung

The first thing we did today in Bandung was to go to the centre and look at the train station.



We also took a walk and looked at some of the shops that sold fresh fruits.


We also saw the next shop which sold chickens, these are not the ones you sometimes see in a episode of Magnum PI. The one that Magnum owns is a plastic one, while these are the real deal.


After our trip to the centre we took off to the Tangkuban Perahu which is a large volcano which last erupted in 1959. It was quite busy over there and some of the locals wanted to take a picture with us, we almost felt like we were celebrities.



On our way to the next stop, the hotwater springs in Ciater, we saw a tea plantation and I had to take some pictures.


A bit further when we were already near the hot springs we saw several big spiders hanging in the trees. No idea of the type, so if you know please let me know so I can add a link.


The hot sulfur springs were totally different from what we expected, we expected a hole in the ground with hot water but what we saw was a pool. They also had showers so one could wash of the sulfur. We had our lunch here, it was the regular lunch with rice, gado gado, sate, etc. and a Bintang for me.



A nice view over a valley which showed a lot of different floors which they used to grow the rice.


At the end of the day we ended up in Padasuka where we watched a long performance of the traditional Anklung instrument.


In the end we ended up in the hotel in Bandung at around 18:00. We did not feel like Indonesian food and so we ended up in the mall under the hotel where we ate some fastfood at Wendy's.
