Naik Balon Udara di Cappadocia Turki dan Vlog

Akhirnya saya menulis juga posting ini, pengalaman kami naik balon udara di Cappadocia. Setiap kali saya menulis tentang balon udara, berat rasanya karena saya kemudian ingin membeli tiket pesawat ke Cappadocia #halah!

Salah satu yang wajib dilakukan ketika liburan ke Turki adalah mengunjungi Cappadocia untuk naik balon udara. Sebetulnya, naik balon udara bisa di banyak tempat, di Melbourne juga bisa. Tapi pemandangannya tidak akan seunik di Cappadocia.

Karena itu, kami merencanakan dengan matang dan tinggal cukup lama di Cappadocia (4 hari 3 malam). Sebagai bagian dari risk management, jika balon udara tidak terbang di hari yang kami inginkan, kami masih punya hari berikutnya.

Ternyata kami tetap terbang sesuai rencana, yaitu pada hari ketiga kami berada di Cappadocia. Walaupun kemudian datang angin kencang, hingga Mr.Pilot menurunkan balon udara lebih cepat dari waktu seharusnya. Saat-saat menegangkan, yang membuat saya akan berpikir dua kali untuk naik balon udara lagi:D

Travel dreams do come true

Buttercup Bakery Bandung - When Good Food and Great Place Collide

So this is it, my fave bakery in Bandung: Buttercup Bakery, located on Jalan Dago Bandung, just in front of the Four Points Hotel by Sheraton. Well, don't get confuse by its name, because actually it is not only the bakery, but also the cafe which provides delicious fine dining. Or a soft of.

I came across this bakery when I saw their pictures on instagram, and I just love the place! The interior is so grande, yet they reviews say that the price of the food is still affordable. Which I questioned, is it really that affordable?  

Jalan Dago was so crowded on the last week before Christmas, so was the Four Points Hotel Bandung. Lucky we still got parking place in the basement, took a lift to the hotel lobby, and just walk to the opposite building where we found the entrance to Buttercup Bakery Bandung.

Angkringan de BlankON - Enjoying The View of Bandung

I am a big fan of "angkringan". If you don't know what it is, "angkringan" is known as a food street, serving rice in small portion, satay (in many variance), tofu, tempeh, etc and of course the sambal. You can choose what to eat and the guy will grill the food for you.

Angkringan is easily found in Jogjakarta, but as more people love to enjoy the food at angkringan, you can find it everywehere. I once ate angkringan in Balikpapan (Kalimantan), and it taste as good as what I ate in Jogjakarta.

Now in my hometown Bandung, you can enjoy angkringan in a modern way, in a place called Angkringan de BlankOn. It is located in one of the hill of Punclut overlooking the lovely Bandung. I must say that so far Angkringan de BlankON is angkringan with the best view.

I don't go directly to a new or happening cafes in Bandung, because I don't like the crowd. But when I found Angkringan de BlankON through instagram, I asked mr.husband to visit this place. Yes, because I love the food from angkringan.
