Happiness is

Supreme Creator. Enjoying life can be done in many ways. If I enjoy one life by
encircling every part of the world to see the greatness of God's creation. By
looking at the beauty of God's creation can add to gratitude and closeness with
Him.
A few months ago, I took a day to go to Rancabali district Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. From Central Jakarta I go to toll Cikampek, Cipularang, Purbaleunyi, exit at the toll gate of KOPO. Then from the Exit toll entrance there are directions to Ciwidey.
Four-wheel trip
takes about 2 hours (Jakarta - Kopo toll gate) and 1.5 hours from Kopo toll
gate to Rancabali location (because the road is uphill, the road is not too
wide and twisted so the average speed is 30km/hour - 60 km/hour).
But the journey
to Ciwiday is very pleasant, because the scenery on the right and left really make
the eyes don’t blink and fun. Beautiful green hills, vast tea gardens in
several locations, various vegetable gardens, various fruit gardens such as
strowberry gardens, etc. we can enjoy along the road curve.

The first
location that I will go to is the Glamping Lakeside Rancabali Tour located in
JL.Situ Patengang, Rancabali, Ciwidey West Java with operational hours (07.00 am
-07.00 pm).
Whooww .... One
word spoken when we arrived at our main destination. Spectacular views of the
lake surrounded by tea gardens, jungle, resorts (with unique houses lined up)
and a unique restaurant shaped pinisi named "Resto Bahtera". To get
to the location can pass through an instagramable wooden bridge.

Can not wait to
get to the top of the pinisi shaped restaurant to taste the menu while looking
at the scenery around. To get to this tourist spot we can buy tickets at the
price of 20.000/person. Worth it for this cozy place. This resto is 3 floors
and there is indoor & outdoor location. There we can explore many spots.
The menu available was quite a lot of its kind. Starting from a variety of
seafood menu, home cooking menu, grilled fish, various snack foods such as
grilled banana chocolate cheese (one of my favorite), various coffee and juice
and several other beverages.

After
enough exploration and enjoy eating at Bahtera Resto I walked to the bridge
edge of Situ Patenggang Lake. Because when I came when it was weekend, then the
visitors are quite crowded.

Finished
explore the lake, I continue to see the resort area and tea garden. Enter
amongst the lush tea trees while picking tea leaves, exciting, happy and if
there is time to spare I want to go back to this place again. Want to feel the
stay in villa nuance village.

It was late
afternoon, I moved home. On the way back I had a quick stop at the restaurant
located in the hot spring (Ciwidey Valley Resort). The
location of the restaurant was quite enjoyable, with a blue mountain background
and there is a unique giant bird cage and available some villas and labyrinth.
The menu offered a variety of Nusantara cuisine as well as various fresh juice
drinks and other variant fresh drinks can also be an option to try.

About two hours
I relaxed at Ciwidey Valley Resto, before dark day I went back to the car to
continue the journey home to Jakarta.
For those of
you who come to West Java, do not forget to spend a day to come to Rancabali.
Feel the coolness of the atmosphere of the mountains, beautiful Lake Situ
Patenggang and the sensation of walking in the middle of a stretch of green tea
gardens as far as the eye can see.
