My Journey

Hiii, this is my third post in my blog! I want to write my experience when I do a journey. Last holiday, I went to Floating Market, Lembang Bandung, West Java with my family. Floating Market is one of the natural tourism which have fabulous view and exciting culinary concept. Floating Market has an area of about 7 hectare. My family and I departed from Bekasi at 7 a.m by car. The route to Lembang quite smoothly, we arrived at the place of our destination 3 hours later.

When we arrived, we had to buy the entrance ticket in advance. The ticket which I bought is also be exchange to get a free welcome drink. There are three kinds of welcome drinks, such as coffee, tea and soft drinks. When I was entered, I saw a beautiful lake. The lake is in the middle and we can walk around it. I saw several small boats which are passed on the lake. I walked around the lake and I found some restaurant, such as Sundanese restaurant, Italian restaurant etc. The view of the lake is very beautiful. Many people took pictures in that place. There are many great spots to take pictures.

After I walked about 5 minutes, I found the second lake. Unlike the first lake, this lake filled of about 40 boats which sell the food. A wide variety of foods available in that boats. The boats located on the banks of the lake, so it made easier the visitor to buy the food. I bought bakpao which has a form like an animal from one of that boats. We can enjoy the view of the lake while ate the food on the table and benches are already available. This place is also have children’s games arena such as flying fox, ATV, water bicycle, fishing eels etc.

Well, I continued to walk around the lake. My family and I took some pictures with the beautiful view. I really like this place, I can enjoy a very cool air and awesome sight. Then, I also take a boat with my family. We could enjoyed the view with different sensation. After take a boat, we continued walking around the edge of the lake. I visited one of merchandise store. I bought some merchandise in that store. Finally I had go back to home with my family. All the things that I do here is quite impressive and I love it. Okaay, that's all about my journey and thank you for visiting my blog!
