mountain weekend

Me and couple of friends have been planning for this mountain weekend getaway for almost a month and yet it was almost cancelled 'cos some reason, but with a little effort, it finally happened. 7 of us (4 girls, 3 guys) left Jakarta at around 8am, the traffic was quite bad since it was the last weekend before school starts. We reached Puncak at almost noon, just in time for lunch. Another friend joined at the rest stop somewhere along the highway. After settling in the villa, we went to Taman Bunga Nusantara, a huge beautiful Flower Garden with various garden theme such as Japanese, France and America.

- France Garden, beautiful! -

- us at Japanese Garden -

- sisters jump of joy (mind my chubby
stomach peeking :D) –

After a long walk around the garden, we went back to the villa, took a short rest before heading for Night Safari. Ria and Edwin joined us in late afternoon for the Safari. We just recently had Night Safari, but since we took the last bus ride at the Safari, we didn't see many animals, I guess they were all resting and sleeping plus the bus driver was speeding in during the ride. Sigh!! There goes our Rp. 60.000,- (stupid bus driver).

We left the Safari around 11pm and head for KFC for very late supper. Yummm, KFC never tasted better when you had it with friends, in cold weather and in the middle of the night ^^ we then continued for some dessert, roasted corn, roti bakar and pisang bakar with some hot milk tea. I spent 5 years experiencing winter and it was only about 15 degrees C but I was freezing. Oh well ..

Sunday .. we tried to catch the one way schedule down from the villa. Thank goodness it wasn't so bad, by 2:30pm we have reached Jakarta with a little traffic. We ended our weekend getaway with a nice late lunch at Pizza King. I reached home at around 4pm .. it's been an amazing people.

And during the trip, I got addicted with Nintendo DS playing cooking mama. Hmmm .. thanks all for getting me hooked. Now it seems that I'll be getting DS myself. No no ... not a good sign :(

- a good cook? Yes I am -
