Day 1
Gather around at 8.00 in the morning after months of not seeing each other in person. We headed to Bandung around 8.30 from Bono's house and make a stop at Ilmi's to pick up BBQ stuff.
After a thrilling driving experience by Ivan (I actually felt so so 'cause I can't drive lol), hungry zombies arrived at Bandung around 12. We directly went to Baso Enggal Malang for lunch.
Since our Villa is located on higher location in Bandung, so we bought some groceries at the supermarket in BIP.
After debating about how much Indomie we should buy, it was around 3 or 4, but we were allowed to check-in at 5 pm. So, we went to a cafe 20 minutes far from our Villa (but not that near tho) while waiting for the host to prepare the house.
After another thrilling driving experience since it has an uphill road along the way, we arrived at the super windy cafe called D'Pakar that I should take a Panadol and Antangin after.
We arrived at our Villa around 7 after ordering Nasi Goreng in Dago. The Villa is super nice, clean, and spacy enough for the six of us. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, and backyard on the second floor.
Day 2
Work, work, work, karaoke, cards, repeat.
And at night we went out to pick up Salvi at the train station but before that, we made a stop at the almighty Sei Sapi Lamalera because skipping it must be a sin.
Day 3
Work, work, work.
Vira was taking a leave TO GIVE A DEDICATED TIME TAKING CARE ALL OF US AND PREPARING MEALS AND PREPARING OUR BBQ NIGHT lol Vir.
And yes, the BBQ time!
Day 4
Last day of our short staycation. Some of us got up early to buy some pricey-but-not-so-good porridges while I was still on the bed and woke up to found the Villa was almost empty (there was only me, Salvi, and Ilmi left)
We checked out around 10.30 after done a Lebaran-like photoshoot.
As we went out, we planned to go to Taman Hutan Raya but we wanted to make it challenging so we CHOSE one-minute-faster way through a small bumpy road--not forget to mention uphill roads--using an automatic car. We arrived at Tahura safely, thanks to our best driver, Rehan.
After walking around Tahura, we went to Cocorico to had lunch. And after that, we headed to the train station to drop Salvi off.
After saying goodbye to Salvi, we went to buy some pastries and brownies then we off to Gormeteria to taste their famous crepes cakes and took some not-fancy-but-ok photos.
Then, we drop Rehan off that wanted to extend one more night (with whom?!) in Bandung. And we headed back to Jakarta around 5.30 with 3 hours full of karaoke.
Forgot when was the last time I put so many words in a post and here it is. And Bandung is the only one that could said "Leave before you love me" 'cause if we stay one more minute then we are going to fall in love with it, yes?
