Kebun Raya Bogor 3
Stuck in the city blocks of Jakarta with all it’s traffic & pollution can be so…depressing sometimes. I live in a small apartment, work in a small office space in a commercial building, and hangout in malls. I do feel like have to ‘get out’ every now and then to escape the walls, the outlets, the same old thing.
But Where? Of course i can simply go to some spa destination, or to other city or even overseas, but it will cost too much and not doable in weekly basis. So this is where i went last weekend
Kebun Raya Bogor! Yap it’s located in Bogor (around 1 - 1,5 hour drive from Jakarta) and i love every minute of my time there! the weather was perfect, it’s so peacefull, serene & pretty well maintained. I’m surprised there aren’t many people around enjoying the glorious garden!
Located in 85-hectare area with more than 15.ooo collection of trees & plants, it can be a very long walk as you can imagine. Every plant & tree we walked by has a name tag, but without further explanation.
Too bad i didn’t get to finished the track because it’s started to rain a little (don’t forget umbrella next time, it rains a lot around here). Walking around the garden with a red umbrella while it’s rain is a pretty romantic thought^^
After tired walking around, we went to cafe deDaun (inside the complex), to have some drinks & snack while enjoying the sunset from the cafe’s porch. Overall, it’s a perfect way to spend sunday afternoon away from home.
can we have one of these garden in jakarta please?
memang sayang sekali ya Jakarta tidak banyak lahan hijau, padahal masyaraktnya rata2 kan pekerja kantoran dan tingkat stressnya tinggi.
Pengen ke sana suatu hari nanti. Gw ga inget lagi, apa pernah ke sana ga ya? Tidak ada mobil golf ya.
@chandra, betul mba, sayang sekali semua lahan kosong lsg dijadikan mall aja ato gedung2 tinggi.
@zee, waktu gw kesana sih enga liat golf cart tp kalo disana lebih asik jalan pastinya mba. ada banyak disediakan kursi2 juga untuk istirahat.
