WW: De Ranch Lembang, Indonesia

Welcome back, people.

Weekend just passed and we had a wonderful one indeed!
Spending 3 days in Bandung (partly mixed with my works and meetings), the Frakarsas,  ma petite famille, managed to enjoy Bandung at its best.

Bandung, the capital city of West Java Province, has long been known as the paradise for creativity, - be it in the forms of fashion, culinary, music, art performances and more,- as well as wonderful weather and gorgeous landscapes.

This time, we drove to Lembang, another popular spot near bandung which is located n the upper part or at the feet of Tangkuban Perahu mountain. It took us around 50 minutes drive from Dago, Bandung.

Destination: De Ranch Lembang

De Ranch in Lembang is the place where you can have family-packed adventures in the open farm with wonderful landscape. Here we can try horse or pony riding, horse-cart or Delman ride, fun boat trip, gold hunter, fishing and more!

My daughter Obi loves horses and ponies so much.
Obviously, she wanted us to take all those rides and since I couldn't ride the horse (I'm too fat for it, that's what they said his), we took the delman trip followed by the horse trip for Obi and my hubby. 



Before enjoying the horse riding, we took a walk along the farm and it was lovely!
We took pictures of the horses and since the warning that horses can bite and kick, we pretty much took a safe distance.




The surrounding area is also beautiful.
Green lush forest framing the majestic Tangkuban Perahu mountain, fresh purple-and-pink wild flowers spreading on the field. Not to mention the fresh, clean cool air we breath.


beautiful purple flowers
The delman ride was also fun! 
The three of us, - Bo, Obi and I (three persons maximum in this cart) rode this traditional horse-drawn carriage around the farm for about 20 minutes.
Not bad at all!




Fun boat ride!
   
What we loved most is the horse-riding of course.
My hubby and Obi were truly enjoying their ride!


Cheers..
For sure, I will share more on the next post.
Stick around and will be happily back with more only for you!




Join us in (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun linking up with so many other bloggers feom many corners of the world

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and friends

Gedung Sate, one of Bandung's landmarks
This week has been another busy one for me and my family.

I have been doing some traveling for works as well and this time I was heading to Bandung, Paris Van Java.

Bandung has been special for us, Indonesians, as it is a historical city where the struggle against the colonials were once centered.
Bandung is filled with lovely parks, beautiful retro buildings, romantic ambiance in its old city part, and for sure culinary haven! Not to mention its museums and beautiful landscapes of hills, valleys, rivers, waterfalls and more. 

And I have so many blogger friends here as well! whenever I can, I always try to meet them after my meetings and just have some chit chats or try new restaurants. Really appreciate their friendship indeed!

In the last 2 months, I have been coming back and forth to this beautiful city and I just love it. The good thing is we can use the train service as well and it's so comfortable. With the ticket starting from IDR 100.000,- or USD 7,- one way, it is very manageable. Check WW: Bandung - Jakarta by Train for more photos I took along the way. Beautiful and green!

Well, I guess I will have to make one dedicated post for Bandung.

And back at home, we had been working on new place for our three cats,- Plum, Kiki and Ms C or Cemong. We have been trying our best to ensure they are comfortable but at the same time 


Now, let's have fun as always with our weekly link party and you are indeed WELCOME to join our Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and friends.

WW: Bandung - Jakarta by Train

"Naik kereta api, tut tut tuuut
Siapa hendak turut..
Ke Bandung, Surabaya..."



That's one of the famous kids' song during my childhood.
As freely translated, the lyrics say like this:
"Taking the train, chuu chuu chuuu
Who wants to come?
To Bandung, Surabaya..."

somewhere in Bandung 

Last Wednesday, I went to Bandung by train.
It was only a 3-hour visit (super short indeed) but I really enjoy my trip there.
Some snaps to invite you to take the train ride to Bandung as well.
