Tracking ke Kawah Ratu

cerita sebelumnya... Road to Curug 1000

Day 2 (03 July 2011)

Sekitar pkl. 06 pagi aku terbangun... duduk... dan melihat beberapa orang teman disebelahku masih tertidur meringkuk di dalam sleeping bag mereka. Sama seperti tadi malam, pagi itu hawa dingin berebut menyapaku dengan riangnya, bergerak leluasa menembus kulit dan tulangku yang terbalut LongJhon dan jaket pinjeman Febri... *sigh*... :'(

Enggan... aku memaksakan diri untuk bangkit dan berjalan menuju toilet umum yang letaknya beberapa meter dari warung Pak Ujang. Haahhh... hembusan nafasku mengeluarkan asap putih. Lokasi Gn. Bundar ini tak jauh dari Jakarta tapi udaranya begitu dingin kurasa... top margotop dah... (sambil nyengir pait, hicks -__-!).

Kubasuh wajah dan menyikat gigi dengan air es yang mengalir deras dari celah pipa kecil yang tersambung langsung dengan sungai di belakang toilet. Tak terpikir olehku untuk mandi di pagi itu (*__*!).
Kemudian sholat subuh dan memesan segelas kopi susu panas untuk mengusir rasa dingin yang terus setia mengikutiku...*sigh*

Fogging.. pagi hari di depan warung pak ujang.

Setelah sarapan pagi dengan sebuah roti dan beberapa sendok nasi goreng (ehmm... emang beneran lho, dikit banget makan nasi gorengnya - sepiring bertiga: aku, Mba Erna & Yuni... :D), kami mempersiapkan diri untuk perjalanan berikutnya, menuju Kawah Ratu.

Road to Curug 1000

Starting from What'sapp group conversation... I joined this trip. Went to Curug 1000 (Thousand Waterfall) and trekking to Kawah Ratu.
First of all, you should know that I dont really like trekking trip, specially mountain trekking...:p
Not because I dont like mountain, but I cant stand the cold weather... *___* '

On 'Whatsapp' group, some of my friends told me that this trip will be fun, full experience, and not too cold at all. Waaahhh... That's made me courious, not too cold? Olrite... I'll joint the trip. Moreover, my friend will prepare a thick jacket for me to used, okelahkalobegetooo... ^__^

First, there were 9 people joined this trip: me, Mbak Erna, Yuni, Sarri, Danang, Febri, Ochim, Bayu, & Rafki. Sarri & Ochim went by motorcycle, the rest by angkot...^__^
Olrite... here is my story...
