Bandung,Indonesia,Day 1(Part 1)


20th October 2010

Wow, the bus journey was indeed long. Though using the highway but the bus had no power to travel uphill and it really slow down the whole journey. Having to see many sedan passed by from behind made me ponder upon using my own car in Malaysia. The bus stopped for 10 minutes at the rest area, being awarded the best for continuous 3years.


"SELAMAT DATANG DI KOTA BANDUNG", bumper to bumper traffic with heavy downpour was the welcoming sign.Flash flood was also part of the traffic congestion.
We wasted no more time but to fill our poor empty stomach to regain strength when we claimed luggages from the bus.
Something unique caught my eyes while looking for food, selling es durian a.k.a durian ice. I placed order to have a try.
It's not any durian paste or flavour but real durian with ice. For durian lovers, it tasted good.
The hotel which was booked online by hubby i.e. Mutiara Hotel @ RM165 per night.
The room in Mutiara Hotel looked simple. Would you like to join me for a cup of coffee?
View taken from my hotel room, also facing the swimming pool.
We walked to the train station from the hotel. Not far, only 10 minutes.
Hubby intended to travel by express train from Bandung to Jakarta on 21st October 2010.
Hubby commented that from the bus experience, travelling to Jakarta by express train might do good. The tickets booking were bought a day earlier.
Exit for the passenger through the chrome door. No choice but to linger around the station because of the heavy rain. Finally after negotiating with the cab driver, went shopping without any waste of time.

Dine in at Solaria restaurant, I ordered fried kueh teow.
PS preferred fried rice because rice would be filling.
Different branded outlets in Paris van Jawa.
Famous among tourists was the branded factory outlet name " Rumah Mode". The second visited complex of the day.
Busy taking shots rather than doing shopping.
