Day 2 - 28 June 2012
We started our morning with tasty breakfast at the hotel. Had only one mission for that day, to visit Wisata Kawah Putih (Tourist spot, White Crater). Kawah Putih is one beautiful lake crater 3 hours drive from Bandung city.

It was a common sight in Bandung to see the locals selling newspapers, tidbits and even beggars on the road trying to meet their end needs. At some tricky junctions there's always a guy tipped for sorting traffic flow. One time we were watching an overloaded vege cart coming into a junction when all of the sudden a random man pulled some vege leaves and helped the cart gets into the busy main road. That vege was taken as a token for his service. Pun boleh.

 |
| Had to take Angkutan Kota, feeder to Kawah Putih up in Mount Patuha. No door or seat belt. Just me holding for my dear life |

| Picturesque Kawah Putih |
 |
| Sulfuric and we started coughing after 15 minutes, had to put on mask purchased at the entrance |
Guess what, Kawah Putih is actually a movie site for My Heart! So I get to cross my
Bucket List 2012 number 6: Take Photo at 1 Movie Site! I just couldn't believe my destiny. Cehhh.

| Tea plantation in Bandung |
We requested Pak L to bring us any nearby Wisata and he drove us further down to Situ Patengan (Patengan Lake). We stopped once in a while to photograph the refreshing scenic tea plantation. Our guy was at this point, tired. Had to drag him out from our vehicle. It looked as though we were having good time conquering the hills. Deceiving. Roots and rocks were covering the ground and it was hard walking up and down. I wonder how they run gracefully in movies, seriously.

| Had always wanted to photograph a dandelion. Back-dropped by serene tea plantation and Situ Patengan |

| Situ Patengan |
Situ Patengan (Sundanese words for 'looking for each other' lake) is a beautiful recreational lake in Ciwidey. Popular with a romantic legend about two lovers finally reunited in Love Rock and Love Island, people go boating around those two places to find eternal love. Aww...so sweet.
 |
| They were washing something. What is it, what is it? I'm really curious |
 |
| Coffee beans? No? Please what is it? |
 |
| Bandung Strawberry |
 |
| Bandung cabbage |
On our way back, Pak L brough us to Jalan Cibaduyut.

| He carves names onto China fountain pens. |
