CILETUH ADVENTURE


Before reading this post, please be sure to read the info below :)
-It's 3 days.
-The style of story-servant-thingy is basically like a journal book.

Day 1
Not too much going on here.Home -> Online taxi (30 min) -> Bus Station -> Bandung - Sukabumi Bus (4 hour) -> basecamp.

At the basecamp, we eat, pray, drink, sight-seeing, and boredom. At 6 PM, the leader of the trip is putting the participants on some kind of restaurant to explain the plan of the trip. I did not get the point because i'm so sleepy. 9 PM, back to the basecamp, and sleep.

Day 2
As always, I'm the first who wake up compared to other people. After done praying, we're going "off road" for 4 hour maybe. Sleep-sleep-wake up-sleep-wake up-sleep- and repeat for 4 hour.
gone to the super tall mountain, pray, eat, photos, other trip plan explanation, and hour of boredom for kids. After everything has been done, we are going to the first waterfall. It is called Curug Sodong. After gone to the first waterfall, realized that waterfall was actually HUGE. I want to try it. But the world most saddest thing is the fact that I do not bring my pair of sandals for no reason so i cannot play in it :(.

After doing stuff in the first waterfall (playing, photos, eat, drink, and stuff), we're going to the next place, Puncak Dharma. A super-duper-duper tall mountain. The thing is, the road to get up there is really hard (which I think it's obvious because we're going to the top of mountain and using off road car).

Really hard road. Holes, 60 degrees ground, car bouncing, and thousand of screaming ;). It was fun tho. After dying and suffering so hard from that, finally come to the top of the Puncak Dharma. Thousand of people grabbing picture of them for proof that they WERE climbing the Puncak Dharma.

We’re in there at like 5 PM. Thousand of people was hoping that they can see a sunset. But, the weather is not doing good. Little rain, and wrong position. But(again), when the people want to go to their homestay (at like 7 PM),they finally see the sunset :o.

And yes, another thousand of photos was added to their galleries.
When we are going to come back to our homestay, it’s raining and dark outside so people get scared to go down again.

When it come in action, it’s not that bad because we learned from before and know what is going to happen, only more slippery and darker. After three car go down, it’s reported that the last car is stuck up in the mountain. Maybe because the road gone even worse because other car passed it? Who knows, who knows. The occupant of the last car is going to their homestay by their wrecked pair of sandals and flashlight. They did not bring their shoes for unknown reason.

Day 3 (The last day)
Again, obviously, I’m the first one who wake up in the homestay. Pray-eat-do nothing-find out that my sister doesn't want to eat her breakfast, so I eat it. Then back again  to the cars.

Got the reports that the last car on the mountain is still there. People on there are still not all of them wake up. Play hide and seek, eat candy, play hide and seek, eat candy, realized that there is no more candy.

Done waiting, going “off road” again, gone to some kind of beach. Thought that the water was clean, so I jump down there, and then realize that the water is not clean. I cannot instantly change my wearing, which is super annoying. How could you live with dirty sand on your pants and clothes? I’m basically suffer and struggling on there for like 1 hour.

After going home, I’ll take a bath for my body obviously.  We’re supposed to go to the next place that we’re looking for, but we’re going back to the homestay. We’ll going back to our home stay again because we cannot go to the next place without the forth car that stuck in the mountain.

Thank god now it can be saved. It’s only cost some time. After the forth car come back here, we’re going to the next waterfall.

There’s three waterfall by the way. Different to the first waterfall, which is open and safe for peoples, this one is closed and dangerous. Both the path to go to the waterfall and the waterfall itself.

After done capturing photos, we’re going back again, back to the cars. It said that we cannot go to he third waterfall because we have no time.

On the car, we are going to go to the super tall mountain (not Puncak Dharma) again, to eat and pray. After eating and praying, people are going to their own home. Super tall mountain ->Off road car(4 hour) -> basecamp -> Off road car(15 min) -> bus terminal -> Bus(4 hour) -> Bus terminal -> Reza's car (10 min) -> own home.

Done.

  1. A very good writing, Ubit!
    Keep on writing!
    A note for you: not all passengers in the last vehicle wearing sandals, only two ibu-ibu, others wore sport shoes or hiking sandals, like me. My sandals really worked well on those wet and thick mud along the way downhill.
