Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 265. Split to Re-Meet
The weather was getting brighter after the sun was rising. Some people there, alone or with the group began to take pictures around the place. Including Om Ardi who has issued his war weapon, in the form of the best camera device to take photos of all members of his family who are now with him .
Ninuk and Putri were the most enthusiastic to take pictures with a view of the mountain range behind them. After they found out, if the camera held by his uncle Madam Asti was a good camera and expensive price.
The term Ninuk, people who are photographed with a camera as good as it will be seen sin - sin on their real face. The alias of the face will look all the shortcomings, because it can not be covered with various filters. Especially for artists and public figures who are usually interviewed by journalists. Especially the celebrities who always want to appear all and charming in the mass media.
" Come, Asti!" pinta the Om Ardi again.
Asti has alternated posing with his two children, alone also with their families and groups. Other visitors also try to get the best shooting angle. Because the scene is very charming, so Om Ardi tried to capture the moment of memory of the togetherness. Great memories with the family he found.
The princess folded the rubber mat, which was slightly dewy. They had also alternated morning prayers in the small musholla that was up there. There is a front row of stalls that provide hot food and drinks for visitors. That's where the drivers drinking coffee also eat fried bananas. In some stalls lined up on the sides of the mosque and public bathrooms.
They immediately entered the stall and ordered a sweet tea. Another case with Joko and Pak Cakra who ordered pop noodles. Maybe they were a bit hungry because since the early hours of the morning keep on guarding.
They will visit several tourist attractions around this place. Such as to Mount Bromo, Padang Savana, Whispering Sand and Teletubbies Hill, which is similar to the residence of the dolls who used to be a very famous children's film in his time.
The three Jeep drivers also ate pop noodles, treated by Mr. Yusuf. Leon's paying for all the tea and fritters they enjoy. Funnily enough, the fried bananas in the stall taste more crisp than the fried bananas they usually eat . Maybe because they were hungry because of the cold morning air on the mountain. Whatever they eat will feel better. After keeping his expensive camera in his backpack, Ardi was carrying Qani as well
They came down from the mountain to go back up to the jeep and continue the journey to various tourist attractions that Pak Bakdi had delivered early this morning. Not all the places they will visit today. Because they also have to take into account the time to return to their respective cities, later in the day.
Near the foot area of Mount Bromo Jeep stops and lines up, with Jeeps from other tourist visitors. Many even took pictures on top of the Jeep. Moreover, the tourists are dressed as people who travel to cold and snowy areas. Similar to Switzerland, Germany or Japan!
Many people offer their horses for rent and used by tourists to climb to the Mount Bromo area. Although it looks close to where they stop, but it feels a bit far if it must be reached by foot.
From a distance stood a temple that became the center of all religious activities around this area which is usually called the Tengger tribe. People who maintain all the traditions, cultures and relics of their ancestors.
Said Pak Bakdi, the picture of the perfect-shaped mountain is Mount Batok which became an icon of the real Mount Bromo tourist attraction. Precisely Mount Bromo it, located behind Mount Batok Itu. Mount Bromo is an active volcano, because the mountain always emits white smoke from its crater. The shape of Mount Bromo is not as perfect as the Batok mountain in front of it.
For young people who are adventurous, of course they will be interested in climbing Mount Bromo. If you can get close to the crater up there. Because the scenery there is more amazing with a large caldera that surrounds the crater that always gives off white smoke. Sometimes the smoke turns rather thick which indicates the mountain is active.
The locals who are still Hindu, Mount Bromo is considered very sacred. Because it becomes a ceremonial place for the residents when celebrating the Kasodo ceremony. Which starts from the temple at the foot of the mountain to the crater of the volcano. They will throw offerings into the crater of the mountain after undergoing rituals and prayers to get safety and blessing.
The offerings are usually in the form of produce, food to pets or livestock that they have. He said there was a friend of Mr. Bakdi who was reckless to stand guard near the crater when the ceremony will be held. Because they can take all the dishes. Even desperate to take livestock such as goats thrown into the crater as part of the ceremony. They also throw chickens and ducks.
" Akbar wants to ride a horse with Dad?" ask Leon. When an old man offered his horse for rent.
" Want daddy?" the boy was happy
It turned out that Hafiz also wanted to ride a horse, this time he was with Pak Cakra. For Mr. Yusuf was a little afraid to go up into the body of such a mount animal. Even though the owner will always accompany them.
Bulek Ratih again ordered tea when sitting in a stall . Many tent stalls are standing near the barrier to the jeep there. Bulek Ratih opened his container. Some contain fried bananas that they ordered rather a lot, there are also cakes and bread that can fill the stomach.
After nearly 30 minutes of riding, Leon and Pak Cakra returned to this place. They were quite satisfied to go around the area at the foot of Mount Bromo. They also ended up taking pictures with a view under Mount Batok, with a good camera Om Ardi it.
Even Mr. Cakra immediately flew drones that are usually used to monitor work on their projects. They gathered there and were photographed from various angles from above the object. Hafiz and Akbar were so excited that they saw the drone.
Jeep is moving towards Padang Savana. Leon who had been to this place when he was a teenager, still feel amazed at the beauty of the desert in front of the grass and bushes.This place is suitable to be used as a backdrop for a cowboy fim with the attacks of the Indians of various tribes who are made in Hollywood films, about the early days of European occupation on the plains of the American continent.
It seems that our earth is Indonesian, endowed with a variety of natural beauty that is also owned by other countries in the world. We are a tropical country... There are still regions in Indonesia that have similar areas in Arab lands or West Asian countries that are still famous for their deserts.
" This is called Whispering Sand!" Said Mr. Bakdi again when they were taken around to another desert. This time tampa bushes or weeds. This place used to be the location of shooting a national film Indonesia with the title of the film "Whispering Sand"
This sand sounds gurgling when blown by the wind ...Because this sandy area reaches a very large area. So the desert area in the middle was named "Whispering Sand"
All the troupe was brought back by Jeep-Jeep to a hilly area. There are parts of the hills that are shaped like a circle. Such hills are the background of the opening of a Teletubbies film. That is a children's film, with brightly colored dolls who become the characters of the story... A very popular film at that time made from a film company in the United Kingdom.
Especially near the hill there is also a concrete wall with the inscription "Teletubbies Hill". Add complete with the presence of someone standing there while wearing one of the doll costumes that are purple. So if we're going to take a picture with the doll, we can give her a little money.
