Flirting With Nature

Dear fellas, another spontaneity leads me into an unforgettable journey.  With 2 of my best friend (Dilla and Sari) I explored Malang and Batu, East Java as our destinations on 18^th-21^nd October 2014. I promised you in my Instagram account to recollect the whole story puzzles and story-telling it to you.

In fact, between March to October, everyday is summer in tropical country type like Indonesia. Since Indonesia only has 2 different seasons, dry and rainy seasons, so yeah. That’s gonna be a perfect time to have the real picnic, like mostly people do on summer in other part of Earth. Anyway, Batu’s weather is magical, the sun shines brightly but the wind blows greatly. The temperature is in the medium level at noon (bright but windy) and cold at night. It brings advantage because my make up lasts the whole day.

The theme of first day outing was ”flirting with nature”, so that would be grass field, greenery, flower, garden, butterflies, fruit, trees, etc. My costume choice for that day was a light, contrast and colorful. I chose material from cotton fabric so that it would be comfortable and can absorb the sweat well.

First, lemme take a selfie :)

KUSUMA AGROTOURISM, BATU (Apple Self-Picking)

Agrokusuma is one stop educational and recreational destination contains area of hotel, restaurants and villas, outbond activity, paintball, flying fox, waterpark, horticulture and  fruit garden. Such a perfect place for family’s getaway. We took a normal package for tourist IDR 50k, including guava and apple self-picking and having a light snack in the end of tour (toast bread and guava juice). The garden was sooo huge, luckily the management provided shuttle van for the visitors. We could only choose one option whether took 2 apples directly from the trees or enjoyed eating the apples as many as we wanted from the apple’s basket (provided). The scenery? Beyond great, it was fantastic.

And these are some spectacular view and objects that we captured

And of course just travel in style!

Tips!

If you are in the middle of the trip and you want to keep stylish, don’t bother yourself with too many layers outfit. Besides they’re gonna burn you (especially in the summer/ dry season) that’ll limit your movement as well. For me, as a simple person, comfort is the most essential one. Wearing accessories is acceptable as long as it’s matching your outfit and place you’re going (situation). Simple make up is also necessary, don't forget to use the sunblock cream.
