Wow! Isn't it amazing how good a few days can be?! We stole some time from an otherwise mundane week and headed to the Sheraton Bandung Hotel & Towers. Bandung is just a few hours drive away from Jakarta. The Sheraton has recently been renovated in a fresh, clean and modern style. So, that, along with the promise of cooler mountain air convinced us it was a must-do trip.
Living in Jakarta, as with so many capital cities, can lead you to feeling like you just need to getaway for a bit. You need to escape the constant rush, the noise and the smoggy heat. Bandung proved to be such a refreshing interlude in our otherwise quite chaotic life. Waking on the first morning to the sun streaming through the trees onto our balcony that overlooked the quiet valley was nothing short of bliss. The following mornings we made a point to wake early so that we could enjoy coffee in the cool morning air whilst the birds sang in the trees all around us. It was just so peaceful. We had to drag ourselves away from it everyday so we wouldn't miss breakfast.
