Hey readers! Yours truly decided to blog back about the past trip on Bogor, a place known for safari. Hope you would enjoy reading the post ;) 

So we departed in the early morning and we had our breakfast/brunch halfway during our journey at Kalimantan Restaurant. The shop is operated by a chinese owner and the food suits quite close to our tastebuds.

Right; Chicken Rice

Destination No.1: Bogor Botanical Gardens

The journey took us around 3 hours plus to reach here from where we depart. This place is for the people who appreciates nature beauty and flora sciences. If you are always craving for more biological knowledge on the flora species, this place should be somewhere where you can explore and learn. It's expansive, with so many gardens to stroll along. Don't forget to apply your sunscreen and do keep an umbrella in handy as it may get abit hot in the late morning and afternooon. Entrance fee was 14k per person. We did jumpshots here as there are so many huge green fields here which is so picture-perfect. For people who are always seeking for thrills and excitement, then you wouldn't fancy this place unless your intention is to rot together with the plants and fungi here. Anyhow, I feel it's a great place for photography :)

Destination No.2: Cilember Waterfalls 

Campsites, Waterfall and the Nature.

After the botanical garden visit, we moved on to our next itinerary, which is the Cilember Waterfalls. I gotta admit that this place is quite isolated as it actually took us some trouble to find it. We passed through little houses lining both sides of the narrow one-way road and we went all the way up the uneven and super bumpy road in our car. It was quite a long way to reach the waterfall from the main road.

We hiked just a short distance to 2 waterfalls and took plenty of photographs there. Just like any waterfall, the water is considered clean and cool! You can even feel the waterfall breeze when you are sitting on the rock near it. Be extra careful when playing around the waterfall as it can be dangerous.

 Destination 3: Cimory Mountain View

After a long and tiring day, we stopped by here to have our dinner. There are good night views here, and also an irresistible chocolate shop here too! Below where we dine is a playground where you can admire the lovely night sky and or relax under the stars.

Fuel for the day

Our Accomodation: Kota Bunga @ Puncak

The suite is superb in terms of aesthetic beauty. You can see that the outlook is alreadyy so fairy-tale like. Couldn't resist but to keep admiring the beauty of this place during my stay at here. There's also a swimming pool here where I can only soak my feet in at most coz I wouldn't say the water is clean D: There's also a small basketball court here. And, the location of our suite is actually located somewhere around the hill so the temperature there is quite cool. We even could see fogs forming around the

Destination 4: Taman Safari Indonesia

So during the next day, we visited the Safari Park. You can drive your vehicles inside the safari zone where the animals here can run freely around and come to you for food! So be sure to stock up some carrots or bananas for the feeding time.

We bought some carrots to feed the animals in the safari zone.

Poser much.

Spot the lion.

After the safari trip, we went inside the zoo for more fun. There is also a theme park in here and I tried their solero amusement ride. 

There are also performances available and we managed to catch 4 shows on that day: The Sealion, Dolphin, Cowboy and Globe of Death (quite bored) shows.

It's Justin and Naruto, the dophins!

So after spending a long day at the Safari, we decided to head back to the same restaurant we had our breakfast for dinner again.

Destination 5: Little Venice @ Kota Bunga

During the next day, we visited the Little Venice which is near our hotel. It's a little pretty place there where you can take good photographs there! We didn't do much there except for trying out the gondola ride.

Destination 6: Taman Bunga Nusantara

Another beautiful place for photography! :)
