bandung trip - part2!

......the night.... i can rate as one of my wildest after all those drinking binges in Delhi..... slept till 10... got up had breakfast.... i love the breakfast in these star hotels....thats the best part.....

then we were on our way to ciwidek to do water rafting after a 300,000 taxi ride and numerous putarbaliks we found the place..... "arung jeram" indonesian for river rapids....... we set on for a 2 and a half hour rafting course at 3 after ayam kampung lunch..... it was good.... though this is not my first rafting experience..... 2 passengers and 3 guides... we were given paddles just to make us feel useful...though we didnt do much of paddling... the ciwidek river is rocky and shallow with lots of rapids and a 3 m fall from a dam... thats were i got my red indian scar on my face... the boat just folded when it fell down the dam....and i was thrown over on people..... they had even arranged for a guy who will photograph you from various vantage points.... awesome.... we finished the course at about 6... and were dropped by the good hearted guides in Bandung.....on their bikes..... went straight to the bandung bus terminal...bought tickets to MErak... we were both hungry and the sweet thought of burger king made us take a halt in jakarta.....

after 2 burgers each..... all we wanted to do was get back to lampung on time to work on monday..... went to the bus terminal in jakarta...enquired for a bus to merak....alas!! sudah habis....jam 12 nggak ada lagi!! so took a taxi to merak...caught a ferry to bakauheni and then took an angkutan to lampung....reached home at 5 AM monday....

so we started at 5 PM saturday in lampung and finished ou trip at 5 AM monday in Lampung... in between we did wild partying, river rafting, bike ride in cold weather, burger king, lots of socializing....... thats called TIME MANAGEMENT.
