Bogor Botanical Garden

Back to Bogor.

First stop: Bogor Permai for breakfast. The old bakery located on Bogor main street. I used to go there in my childhood and the breads are still good. Hold myself not to buy too many breads and I'm failed :)

Second stop: The Bogor Botanical Garden. It's been years not to visit this beautiful garden. We should be proud to have this garden with range of plants collections in Indonesia. From the wikipedia I know that this garden is the oldest botanical garden in South East Asia. 

Suddenly I remember the urban legend that says, don't ever go to this place with your boyfriend, otherwise you'll break-up. And I never go there with my boyfriend. Not because I believe in that rumour, but because it's too far away from Jakarta.. Haha.

The botanical garden turns out to be a wonderful place nowadays. It's well maintained and I'm very happy to be there. We had a tour in an open car accompanied by a professional guide who give very interesting information about this place. And I really had a good time. 

Now this place has some thematic garden and one of them is Mexican garden where we took a lot of pictures. By a lot I really mean a lot.

We ended our tour to have lunch at Bogor Grand Garden restaurant where our president Jokowi having the former USA president Obama when he visited Indonesia. And I sat on those chairs pretending to be president :) 

The garden view from the restaurant is awesome. And I let myself to take a zillion pictures of the garden.

It's been a great day in Bogor. I'm thinking of bringing family there someday.

Cheers, Dhidie
