September 5th:today I left Jakarta and took a train to Bogor. Bogor, 60km from Jakarta, is most famous for it's botanical gardens, known as the Kebun Raya (Great Garden), covering an area of around 80 hectares. After a fine lunch at Jongko Ibu I went to see the botanical gardens and walked there for some hours. In the Wisma Ramayana gueshouse I met some Dutch travellers who leave Bogor tommorrow for a two day trip to Pangadaran. I decided to join them and booked the same tour.

September 6th: we left Bogor ar 9:15 and drove to a Gong factory where Gongs and other Gamelan instruments are smelted over a charcoal fie in the small workshop out the back. We also visited Pak Dase who makes quality wooden puppets at his wayang golek workshop. We crossed the Puncak Pass and reached Garut via Cianjur and Bandung. I'am glad that we don't stay in Bandung which is a big city with lots of industries.


Where I stayed:
Wisma Ramayana
