DAY 1
We
arrived at LCCT at 12.30 pm and having lunch at Marry Brown. The flight
departed from LCCT at 2.30 pm (after delayed for about 15 minutes) and
we arrived savely at Minangkabau airport at 3 pm Indonesia time. After
we met the tourist guide (or supir they called it here), we headed
straight to Bukit Tinggi. From the airport it took about 3 hours to
arrive Bukit Tinggi. The petrol cost you about Rp 169276 or RM 60.61
(according the current foreign exchange rate). During the journey we had
called on a few places such as Puteri Minang, Pariaman, Puncak
Kiambang, lots of shop houses specialized in embroidery and sulam goyang
telekung. One of the attraction was the waterfall named “Lembah Anai”
that have Telaga Tiga. According to the tourist guide name Saiful Ikhlas
(he said that he is one of saiful apek good friend heheh), he mentioned
that the water from Telaga Tiga could give us energy and it is believe
that could make us “look younger” by cleansing our face.. hehe We could
see that most of the houses are using “parabola” to get good channel in
their houses.. will be many channel..what a shock coz in Malaysia the
government didn’t allow us to use it.. .Huhu On the way to Bukit Tinggi,
we learned lots of words that you could use or couldnt use at Bukit
Tinggi.
