Summary of Bandung Trip 2015

Hello! I just got back from a short getaway in Bandung; Indonesia.
Just wanna write down a short summary of this trip.

Overall, the 4D3N trip was not bad.
Many first experiences during this trip like first time to Volcano area, horse riding, drank horse milk and ate many good food.
I've also learnt something in this trip and that is we just got to be grateful for what we had in Singapore.
Going to a lower class country, I see many people struggling for living and to make money for a living.
I saw a kid as young as 4 or 5 years old, selling tissue paper on the road side.
But what can they do? They need money for living.
I seriously don't know how much he can make a day but it is a dangerous job.
I also see many things that Singapore doesn't have. 
People in the lower class of Indonesia, still riding a horse wagon to travel from places to places.
My tour guide told us that he is happy being a Indonesian despite having a corrupted government.
However, why do Singaporean still feel unhappy when we have a better government?
Sometimes, I feel that Singaporean needs to go outside of their comfort zone, to explore the world, to feel others then you'll know how grateful you are.

By the way, the tour guide that took us around for the whole trip is knowledgeable and nice guy.
During the long car ride, he chatted a lot.
However, because BF and I are man of few words, so most of the time we just answered "okay", "um" or nod and it cuts off the conversation.
Well, we did try to talk so that the trip won't be a boring one.
Most probably, we are one of the boring couple that he has taken. LOL!

Anyhow, good experience in Bandung.
Probably the next time I go back would be just for food and shopping.
But in the long run, no plan for this yet, since we covered almost all of it already.
I'll blog more about it later on. :)

P/S: Email me if you want the contact for this tour guide for your trip. Recommended!

Staycation at Montigo Resort Nongsa

Rewind back to April this year, boyfriend and I had a 2D1N staycation over at Montigo Resort Nongsa.
The period that we stayed were from 18 April to 19 April.

We took the morning ferry at Tanan Merah Ferry Terminal.
It took us about 45mins to reach Nongsa Pura Terminal and 5min shutter bus ride to Montigo Resort.

Checked in at the lobby and booked timing for spa.

View at the lobby.

Took buggy to our villa.

Had a good view of the 3-storey villa.


Living room at Level 1

The pool at Level 1 as well.

Master bedroom at Level 2


Bathroom in Master bedroom

Guest room at level 2, come with a bathroom as well.

After putting down our stuff and checking out the villa, we went out.
The sun was scorching hot!
Seriously, you can see in the later pic, I got tanned!

While waiting for the lunch menu to start, we went to the Jetty for a walk and photo taking.






















The place is very beautiful!
I guess the Jetty is the attraction in Montigo.

After which, we went to eat lunch.




Next, we travel down to the spa area to do a 60mins spa.
It was relaxing for me.




After spa, we went back to our resort to enjoy the pool.





Then, went sunset viewing at the balcony located at the third floor.




Our dinner menu.



Boyfriend then gave me my birthday present.
A DW watch. :)

At 7pm, the spa staff came to our villa to set up the romantic bath that we booked.
I was surprised with the below setup, really beautiful.
Came with a bottle of champagne, which I only drank a glass.
Such a waste, would be better if some one can share with me.




The next day, we woke up at around 8am?
And this is our view from the bed, would be better if there's no tree to block the sea view. LOL~







Had our breakfast then back to hotel to pack up and enjoy the last few moment in the villa.






Overall, the place is beautiful.
It would be great for big gathering with friends or family.
For 2 people, I don't think the price is really worthy.
Also, if you want to get to town, it would be around 45mins trip from Montigo and cost of taxi is not really cheap.
Not much things to do in the resort, so I think a 2D1N staycation is perfect for us.
