On the month of July in 2008 I went to West Sumatra for my
holiday destination and it was very very moving experience for me specially the
Minangese people it self was so friendly and always smile at you....:):)
I arrived at the BIM Airport but don’t remember the
date...Hehehehe...Sorry guys, and then
pick up my rental car and start driving my rental car toward Stinjau Laut Road
heading toward Muaralabuh Solok Selatan and on the way to Muaralabuh which is
only about 3 hours driving from City of Padang....I stop my car some where on
the top of Stinjau Laut Road on the side of the Road wanting to know the view
from the top of Stinjau Laut Road and it was amazing experience to see all the
view from the top and I stop there for while and start taking photo's with my
Fuji Fine Pix S9500, I reckon I took heaps of photo's while I was there.....
And then I continue my driving toward Alahan Panjang and
stop there for a while and also took some photo's while I was there and then
after that again I start driving toward my destination Muaralabuh and I tell
you what it was wonderful driving on the way down to Muaralabuh and the scenery
it was so beautiful......I love it. and breath taking...Stayed in Muaralabuh
for about Three days and visit the area every where while I was there and on
the fourth days I'm driving heading toward Solok,Batu Sangkar,Padang Panjang
and Bukttinggi and stayed the Night in Bukittinggi in one of the Hotel....At
night I went to see Jam Gadang and other places which is not so far from where I was staying and it was again
wonderful experience meeting the lovely local people...The weather at night it
was so nice and not so hot....I love it there in Bukittinggi,could not wait
going back there again in the near future....Got up in the morning the next day
had some breakfast and Coffee and start driving to Payokumbuah toward Harau
Valley I don’t remember how long it took us to get there but we arrived there
about lunch time and again I took a lot’s of photo's again....In the afternoon
driving toward Pariaman to catch the
amazing Sunset and I got lots of photo's just for taking photo's from the side
of the Road...Hehehehe......Going Back to Padang via Maninjau lake,By the time
we got to Maninjau Lake I was so tired
and could not wait to go back to Padang and have a rest because the next day I have to fly out
to Jakarta......Arrived in padang in the evening and have something to eat and
after dinner we went to visit the Siti Nurbaya Bridge and also other places in
the area near the Padang beach and by this time is already about nine a clock
at night and my body is telling me to go home and go to bed and get ready to go
to Jakarta in the Morning....Heheheheh...:):):)
Anyway, the experience that I have while I was in West
Sumatra something that I would never ever forget for the rest of my
life....Could not wait to do it all over again hopefully soon.....:):):)
