My Holiday
A Trip to Ciwidey
Last
week, on Tuesday of December 30th 2014 I and my family went to Ciwidey.
I and my family went there by car. There are two car that we rode because we
were twelve persons. I and five ones other in Proton, six ones else in Toyota.
We start to go at a half past six in the morning. I did not eat yet before go
to the traveller. I just ate two bunch of fried food I bought on the edge of
the road. Fortunately, when we reached near the Purbaleunyi Toll, we realized
that our car needs to be increased by fuel. While queued to increase fuel, my
sister went out to buy foods at the market in gas area. Unfortunately, I was
wrong, she just went out for the toilet. There was no time remains to buy
foods. Actually, I was not the only one who had not breakfast. So, we planned
to buy foods at a minimarket around Kopo Street.
A whole the traveller, I was sleeping until we arrived at
the minimarket to buy foods and drinks. When one of us came back, I was looking
for breads or something that can make me recover from starving. I didn’t see
anybread in the plastic bag. I just found some junk foods. my sister said I
have to stay a bit starving, because we will go to a mountain. The cold weather
will increase the tasty of the food we eat. The traffic was not jam, because
this day was a day before December 31st. The traveller was so long
for me. We reached in the location after three hour passed. That happened
because my car has to be stopped to wait another car that contains six ones
else, they didn’t know where they were.
We wait them near KawahPutih. When they had come, we went on. We didn’t
visit KawahPutih, because the scene of it is not too beauty, the day was rainy
and there’s no sun I could see. A whole the area was cloudy and misty, we won’t
see anything there. Moreover, the price of the ticket is so expensive, IDR 75,000
per ticket.

The
pictures above are the photos of the scene while the traveller to the peak of
the Mount Purut. It’s so misty and I couldn’t see the sun in the sky. My sister
said that it’s not fog, but it is the cloud. Yeah, we drove and walkedthrough
the cloud. When we went out for a minute, the rain was stopped. But after enter
the car we became rather wet. It could be, because we walked on the cloud. I
take the pictures through the glass of the car. The day was so cold, I couldn’t
stay outside the car for a long time. So, I capture the scene from inside the
car. Even the day was so cold we still and we have to turn the AC on a whole
the traveller. If the AC off, we couldn’t see anything caused by the steam from
our breathing will be attached on the
glass of the car. The driver has to be so careful while he drive the car on.We
go a long this way for about twenty minutes. After that, we arrived on the peak,
but not really the peak. We just visited an area near the peak where we would
see anything in the afternoon. We arrived at the destination at ten in the
morning.

| The scene from Mount Purut peak in the morning (early) |
Near the peak of Mount Purut, I captured a sight below my
position. I saw that the tea garden seems like a green large carpet. It was
reminding me to an Alladin sound track. Because the day was still misty, we
stay for a minute I a hood where sold foods and drink. Exactly, those were hot
foods and hot drinks. We just bought instant noodle. After ate, we looked that
the mist has begun to get away from our sight.

The photo above is the scene that I captured from the peak of
Mount Purut after the mist get away because the day was going brighter. It is
just one of the picture that I have. I was a photographer there, I used my
sister’s camera to get best pictures. I just capture some scene by my phone,
not too many I capture because my phone is so bad. While the other rush with
capturing or eating, I tried to hunt something I could get for home. I saw that
there were many plant that I have never seen before. So, I got some unique
plant from the edge of the ravine. I was so careful, I was fear that I would be
falling down.Fortunately, I was
successful to got a bunch of unique plants. I believed that the plants will
stay alive in my home cause the weather of my home is cold too.

After
tasted the scene, we were so hungry. We needed to eat rice and take a rest. We
decided to visited the only one restaurant in mount Purut. It located near the
green tea field. After arrived we booked the second floor. We could see
anything there. First, I taste a cup of tea, it was a cup of green tea. The
taste of the tea is different with the tea at home as usual. It was more tasty,
I got different sensation. When I asked why it’s different, the servant said
that the tea is got from the green tea field around Mount Purut.
The
main menu was so simple : fried chicken, baked chicken, baked golden fish, and
fried golden fish. We could got the fish alone from the puddle in the backyard.
There were about seven puddle there. I didn’t ate fish, I was eating ulukutekleunca, tahu, tempe, and fried
chicken. Just my sister who ate fried golden fish. The food is so simple, but
it was so tasty, I ate again, again, and again. The boys except me were
sleeping after satisfied.

| The blue buildings |
All
the buildings as long sa the road and as long as I saw were painted with same
colour. All those buildings were blue. Those are the camps of the green tea
worker. TehWalini has a large green tea fiela there. I just could capture the
blue house once, eve from the car while the car was going on. I saw the worker
began to work. The most worker I saw was women. Yeah, tge worker dominated with
women.

The final destination our trip is Rancabali Waterfall. We
visited this place after ate at Mount Purut peak. The waterfall located in the
center of tea field. To visit this place
have to pay fo IDR 5,000. The price of the ticket is so expensive. The
children didn’t need to pay for ticket. So, we just paid IDR 50,000. There are
two waterfall there, the left side waterfall is not too huge. I didn’t see
visitors there. Another waterfall where located in right side the tea field,
cowded with people.
I and my family just visited that place where crowded with
people.I was frightened that I found a snake nea the waterfall. Besides the
snake, I found too many of small fish I the pool. There were boys who hunted
thr fish by bottles. I spend the time in he gazebo. We used to pay IDR 15,000
to stayin the gazebo untill go home. When we would go
home, I captured the left side waterfall while my sister was climbing a hill to
the upper end of waterfall. They found a lake and took photos there. The water
of the waterfall come from a lake where located on the hill.
