• My first onshore vulcano 🌋 - to Bandung

    Oct 16–17, 2023 in Indonesia

    As Tangkuban Parahu was more or less in my route to Bandung, it was a perfect sightseeing stop for my ride.
    As the ride out of Jakarta mostly was going through urban areas, I was already looking forward to riding through some rural, mountainous areas. Riding curvy, steep roads is the real fun, about riding any motorbike. 😍
    As expected the ride was amazing, streets were quite okay, had an awesome rural bike ride.
    Never know, what to say about visiting natural sights, as impressions can't be put into proper words. Witnessing these unbelievable powers, creating these unreal landscapes, where living nature is fighting against Earth's forces, will keep me fascinated for my entire life, obviously.
    Probably this place is more crowded at the forenoon, as most tourist tours are starting early in the morning to avoid the hot times at noon. So except for a few local tourists and even more sellers (trying hard😅), guides (even harder 🙈) and service staff (so friendly and helpful), I had the place for my own. On the hike to the smaller Domas crater, I didn't see even one other person.😎
    The ride further on to Bandung went quite smoothly, some small and broken roads took speed down a lot, but the beautiful landscapes paid everything off. 😍 And traffic was surprisingly easy, so all in all a perfect day for my first real Bike Tour on my own on Java. 😊
