VISIT TO INDONESIA
During the Nowruz holidays , my family and I went to Indonesia. We moved on 28th march, 2009. Our flight was with Air Asia. We reached there at 8.00 am and we had already asked Mr.Ari to drive us in Indonesia. We went on a Toyota, Avanza. The three main cities we went to were Jakarta, Puncak and Bandung.
The first city we went to was Jakarta. The first place we visited there was Ancol. Ancol is a really popular tourist spot. We then went on the gondola which crossed and then we wanted to go to Dunia Fantasy, an amusement park, but then when we saw its price it was Rp120000 = Toman 12000 = RM 40 for each person. So we didn’t go there because of the high price. It was night already so we had to head back to the Maharani hotel, our hotel, which was a 3 stars hotel. The next day we went to Taman Mini Indonesia which is something like Taman Mini Malaysia at Melaka. We went to watch many shows there and we saw a wall which had all the history of Indonesia on it. We also visited the transport museum. It had the history of all the transport in Indonesia last time.
It was already time to go to Puncak. We first crossed all the highways but then we got into the narrow and cold one-way streets. We reached Hotel Bukit Indah at 9.00pm. I was freezing when we reached there. We went to the room and it was great. It had something like a satellite TV. The night we watched a really nice movie and when it finished we went to sleep. The next morning we went to the safari at Puncak. We reached there at about 10.00am. We visited the animals there and we could see them in our own car instead of going with a bus or something like that. We saw the Lama, Deer, Elephant, Hippopotamus, Rhinoceros, Tiger, Snow Tiger, Leopard, Lion, Cow, Bull, all kind of birds and much more. We ate lunch at SFC, Safari Fried Chicken.
We didn’t spend much time in Puncak because after the safari we straight away went to Bandung. We went to The Ardjuna Boutique hotel and spa, to be a 4 stars hotel. I liked this hotel the most because of their rooms, beds, satellite TV. The next morning we ate breakfast there. Then we headed to the volcano in Bandung. We had a lot of shopping of handicraft over there. We bought things like tigers made from wood or bowls made from wood and one toy airplane made of wood. We bought much more things. It was night already so we had to get back to the hotels. The next morning we ate breakfast as the usual at the hotel but then we went shopping for clothes. We went to all the outlets there like DE CORAL Boutique Outlet. We also went to many other outlets. It took a whole day for us to shop. When it was night we ate dinner at McDonald’s. The next day we ate breakfast as usual and then packed our thing and put them in the car for we were going back to Jakarta and then back to Malaysia but first we went shoe shopping. Each of us bought a shoe. After that we headed back to Jakarta. When we reached there we went to Monas, a tower in Indonesia. It was 5pm and our flight was at 8.30pm so we had to hurry and get to the airport. We thanked our Mr. Ari a lot for driving us around Indonesia and then we waited for our flight but unluckily the aero plane had not even arrived yet so we had to wait for 4 hours but we got to Malaysia safely and as I always say: IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE
