Let's continue our journey in Kota Malang!
*This post will have lots of photos, so enjoyyyy!*
The next day, we had breakfast in the hotel, my current obsession at that time was toast so this is my favorite spot.
They also have local food such as fried rice, spicy chicken, tempe, fruits and etc. We checked out that morning cause we will move back to Surabaya by end of the day.
First destination for the day was one of the many Toko Ole-Ole in Kota Malang, I didn't get to take any photo cause I was busy browsing hahaha. Just manage to keep this one, after finished shopping the outcome be like....
Before that, inside that toko(shop/store) they have this small stall selling cendol you have to try this cause it's good af!
ES DAWET AYU SEGAR
i have no idea what is the exact meaning except for ES means ICE lol
 |
| They have varieties of topping like durian, sticky rice and etc..a must try! |
Next, Mas Budi brought us to........can you guess based on below photo?
 |
| Near the entrance.. |
Maybe the sign is too small...this place is called
BATU FLOWER GARDEN
located in Kota Malang.
This is the view to come up here (it's on top of hill)
 |
| love love love |
When we reached the parking area, I can see lots of avocado beside the road like photo below.
Can you spot the avocado? In Malaysia, one avocado cost around RM3 and more while in here...just wasted like this >.<
Next, from the parking lot there are 2 options to go up the hill. Walk or ride motorcycle. We choose to ride motorcycle - it took around 5 mins to get there. As for walking, do your own calculation lol Actually, for motorcycle there are lots of rider who can go up with you but for us since we have just enough of 6 people (3 pairs) we decided to ride ourselves. Please excuse me for being too excited riding the motorcycle XD
Next, we need to buy ticket first. So you can choose the attraction spot that you want to take photo. Here you can see the famous "bicycle ride in sky", "floating in the sky" spot and etc. They have packages to choose and also ala carte spot where you can choose any spot that you wanted to take photo with. But first, you need to pay for entry fee which costs Rp 25,000 ( fee is not included in the tour package with Mas Budi)
 |
| Ticket booth at the entrance. Choose wisely. |
But before that, people, I would suggest you to bring your own drinks (to save money and from being dehydrated) cause it will be so freaking hot - the weather itself is hot plus there are lots of people over there.
So, for the first payment is entry fee. Next is the spot fees (depends on your package or ala carte - also not include in tour guide package) so this is our receipt,
For me, roughly I spent around Rp. 50,000 approximately RM14 here. The entrance fee includes 2 free spots as seen in the receipt (no.1 and no.2) and we choose the ala carte spots since the package spot is not as to our likings.
Before that let me show you how's the surrounding at the hill top.
 |
| Fresh air - eventhough there are lots of people but still air is fresher! |
 |
| view from above |
Our first spot is called 'LOVE'.
At each of the spot, there will be this small shelter for the photographer and counter where you need to sow you receipt to them. So, keep the receipt well.
So first spot!
2nd spot..
Next is "Gowes Air" I dont know what is the meaning but its this one...
 |
| floating in the air riding a bike lol there will take duo and solo photos |
No worries, the bike is very stable actually. At first I was a little worried but when I sit on it, I know that it is very safe. They put on the safety belt too before sending us off the platform.
 |
 |
| testing macro setting... |
 |
| i think this one is ulam raja, its everywhere here |
 |
| our own photographer..meanwhile waiting for others who's doing their ala carte spot |
 |
| this one is free spot as in tepi bukit pun jadi la~ captured by Mas Budi |
Next is group photo called "Hammock Tower"
Since I was at the top, it was so freakin high. I do feel scared and nervous actually but heyy why not, just once in a lifetime. Plus they put us on safety belt too. So you don't have to worry actually lol
Lastly, for "Ayunan", I dont have a nice photo so I will not upload here lol. After finish taking photo at all the spots, we need to go to their counter to collect softcopy photos. Each spot they will only give you 1 photo for free(included in the fee you paid before) any additional photo, you NEED to pay extra. One extra photo will cost you (if i'm not mistaken) Rp. 5000
While waiting for the photos, we're enjoying the ice-cream there.
Hot weather and ice-cream is heaven on earth!
 |
| traffic light ice cream |
After done with copying the photos, we're going to our next destination...but before that..
 |
| freestyle guys~ |
 |
| Group photo is a must! |
Then, we're heading straight to.....
 |
| view on the way to next place.. |
The famous...
CAFE SAWAH
From parking lot to the entrance, there are some small stores selling apples (very near to the apple orchard), avocados, stinky beans, and other local products.
Our main reason to go here is to have lunch . They have varieties of dishes - like lauk campur (mixed rice) style. Not sure how to exactly eat them, I just get anything that make sense lol
 |
| Corn rice, medium sized salted fish, veges that looks like kerabu-mixed veges (my favorite), and jengkol |
Just right after we finished eating, the rain is pouring. It's quite heavy rain so we have no choice but to wait for a while. They have musollah over there so you can perform your prayer too.
 |
| Musollah is at the tallest building there..magnificent view it is.. |
Enjoy some of the photos!
 |
| They just grow tomatoes anywhere...this looks very fresh isn't it? |
 |
| love love love |
 |
| another group photo~ |
Last but not least (the sky is getting darker and weather getting colder), we headed to our next destination..
BUKIT PARALAYANG
 |
| very foggy, the coldest place so far |
 |
| new flower entry to my life dictionary - bell flower (naturally grow upside down exactly like a bell) |
 |
| a hotspot for paragliding but the weather is really bad at that time...too cold! |
 |
| Angel Wings - 1st try.... |
Since it was too cold and we can do nothing , we decided to take some rest in cafe nearby. They have few cafe/restaurant there so you can take time to warm up your body too.
 |
| Warung Anu - they have varieties of cappuccino - mixed of milk and flavors desired |
 |
| everyone is tired so antisocial time lol |
Before heading back to the city, Mas Budi try to take the photo at the "Angel Wings" again and it looks better than previous one...it could be better if the sky is darker..
 |
| the sky should be darker so that the wings will be brighter (there is no light on the wing, it was just a plain iron) |
On the same night Mas Budi passed us to his friend - Mas Bagus to bring us to Surabaya City again. We will meet Mas Budi again on our last day before departure to Kuala Lumpur, see you again Mas Budi~!
Guess what, we arrived at our hotel in Surabaya past midnight time!
See you on my last part of Surabaya Trip...
..phew finally!
