We had our buffet breakfast at the Kookobura Restaurant in the hotel. The choice of food were aplenty and cover both continental and local foods.

At 8.00 am, Pak Tarmudzi, our driver picked us up with a brand new Suzuki Arena MPV. A chatty guy, he first brought us to our desired destination, the mount Tangkuban Perahu, the most famous tourist volcano just 28 km north of the city. Part of the road especially nearing the place are full of potholes, making the journey a bit uncomfortable. Furthermore, you have to pay an entrance fee of Rp45,000 per person before entering the mountain.

We then headed to a less steeply area i.e the car park at Kawah Ratu, where our driver was waiting for us. All in all, it was a tiring walk and I was sweating profusely upon arriving at the car park but nonetheless such adventure was a worthwhile experience for all of us.We then had our lunch at the infamous Kampung Daun restaurant, a must place to go for anyone who visited Bandung. It is located in a natural surrounding of craftsman village in a deep jungle valley. With fresh air and cool breeze, its the best choice of place to be i.e. to relax your feet after the long walk.

Being a Sunday, this beautiful FO inclusive of a cafe and a spa were full of people especially those from Jakarta and many Malaysian too. At the cafe, I bought 2 cups of a delicious 'durian sensation' sundae.
Later, we went to Toko Tiga, the place where they sell original jeans. I bought an original 501 Levi's jeans for about RM100. Our last FO were the Heritage and its adjoining FO, the Cascade. Personally, I love Cascade much better than Rumah Mode and decided to come again tomorrow to shop after I change the balance of my money to Rupiahs.
To tired to eat outside, our driver drove us to the best Bakso Restaurant in town according to him. It was the Baso Malang Karapitan where we ordered a take-away food for our dinner. We then headed back to our hotel, exhausted...
Next day will be our shopping day....
