Day 1 - Taman Wisata Alam- Gunung Tangkuban Parahu, Bandung, West Java

Day 1 - 22nd February, 2012
Taman Wisata Alam Gunung Tangkuban Parahu, Bandung, West Java



Ready to visit the crater!
We had very simple breakfast, normal Indonesian style. Rice porridge served with hot spicy soup, bread and coffee and tea and some colored drinks! Alas, we were thankful and ready to carpe diem (seize the day)!
Jubilant Mother 
Mother looked fine and was looking forward to doing  today's itinerary. I was so relieved to see her smiling!  
We were here!
 It felt great to witness this natural phenomena with our own eyes! And to observe how the people here earn their living by persevering the odds and chasing after the tourists to sell their products, was just awesome but suffocating at the same time!
The crater is still alive!
 The straight line at the mountain top was said to be the bottom of the rowing boat kicked so hard by the jilted lover who was so frustrated to find out that the woman whom he loved was in fact his own mother! So tragic! :-(~ 
Ashraf -  the ever thoughtful boy!

It was a breath taking view and refreshing experience to have been here!
