Above the clouds // Traveling to a tourist spot on a mountain top, a very extreme journey

in voilk •  last month

    Good night to all my beloved hive friends ♥️



    The rainy season will soon arrive which will make all the work feel much more difficult, but before the rainy season really arrives I decided to go for a walk to a very popular tourist spot in my area, which is a place on a mountain, and in that place there are several large restaurants built for visitors who come there, and on the mountain we can enjoy the beauty of nature from the top of the mountain, so before the rainy season arrives I want to enjoy those beautiful moments first.

    I have invited some of my friends but they all refused because of some reasons such as work, but rather than doing this trip alone I decided to invite my female friend to join me on this trip, and my female friend agreed to my invitation. I made a fast trip at 10.00 am, and to get to the tourist spot it took about 4 hours of travel, so I had to prepare it from the beginning.

    And the name of the tourist spot is "mount salak", and if we want to travel to the tourist spot then one of the mandatory equipment to bring is rainwear if we travel by motorbike, because it often rains on the mountain which makes us have to have equipment before traveling there.

    And after I felt everything was ready, my female friend and I immediately set off for this trip, and to be honest I was a bit late because I should have done this trip earlier because I remembered that this trip was very far, but that's okay. And on the way I didn't stop because I was chasing time so I could get to the tourist spot on time, but at one moment on the way I was fascinated by the natural beauty that I saw from the road I was passing, I decided to stop for a moment and take some pictures that showed the natural beauty.





    The natural beauty that radiated before my eyes made me immediately silent and fascinated by its beauty, I did not waste time and took some pictures then immediately continued this journey again, in the middle of the journey I also drove the motorbike at a slightly fast speed because I looked towards the peak and saw the clouds that were starting to get cloudy, and I was afraid that it would rain soon.

    I also remained focused on this trip, and did not stop at some of the beautiful places that I was passing through, because my main goal was to go to the top of the mountain to enjoy the natural beauty there, but in the middle of the trip what I had previously feared happened, light rain began to fall which made the atmosphere feel much colder, fortunately we had brought complete equipment in the form of rain jackets and we stopped for a moment to put them on first.





    but what I fear most besides the rain is the fog, because usually in this place if it rains then it will definitely end with thick fog, thick fog itself is also very dangerous because it limits our view on the road, but fortunately the fog has not come down so I immediately continued this journey, which should have been 2 hours later I would have arrived at my destination but this would be much longer because considering the rain that fell made the road a little slippery which meant I couldn't ride a motorbike at high speed.

    During the trip, it rained very heavily, limiting my visibility. In addition, the weather was very cold because we were already at the foot of the mountain. However, fortunately, I had prepared for it from the start, such as bringing several jackets and raincoats, so I was not too burdened by the conditions.

    And after a long journey full of challenges, we finally arrived at the top of the mountain, but because it was raining very heavily, we were not allowed to go up to the top and could only enjoy the natural beauty of a restaurant there.





    Unfortunately, I couldn't take any pictures when I arrived at the restaurant because the rain was really heavy.

    And when I arrived at the restaurant, I immediately went inside to warm my body which was already very cold, and it turned out that there were already several people in the restaurant, some went with their families and some were couples. but everything went very normally.And when we arrived at the restaurant, we felt hungry because on the way there we didn't buy supplies, so we decided to order some food and drinks to restore our hunger in the restaurant.

    And the service at the restaurant is also very good so I dare to give it a 4 star rating, because when I ordered some drinks and food, they immediately responded very well and it didn't take long for them to prepare our dishes.




    And this restaurant also has a very beautiful outdoor cafe yard, where many visitors who come to this restaurant will definitely take the time to enjoy the beauty of this restaurant yard, because in this restaurant yard we can see the restaurant building which is built very beautifully and we can also see the natural scenery from the top of the peak.

    And after we finished eating, the rain stopped falling. We were able to go outside and enjoy the beauty of the restaurant's outdoor courtyard.









    A very beautiful restaurant, isn't it? Besides being able to enjoy delicious dishes in this restaurant, we can also enjoy the beauty of the restaurant that has been built and decorated as beautifully as possible to attract many visitors. I really appreciate this restaurant because it does have an extraordinary appeal, and not only the beauty of this restaurant, because from here we can also see some natural scenery that is indeed very beautiful, because the position of this restaurant is on a mountain.

    Here are some of the natural beauties that we can witness from this restaurant.






    from here we can see the beauty of nature and the beauty of man-made things, everything feels so perfect, and makes my heart feel very happy, and in the courtyard outside the restaurant there are also many visitors who are doing a photo session, they look very enjoying it and capturing this beautiful moment as best they can, as well as I who also want to capture this moment as best I can, even though I am not allowed to go up the mountain but I also feel extraordinary happiness even though I can only get to this restaurant, and from this restaurant to get to the top of the mountain is not far and approximately 10 minutes walk.

    The rain that had been falling very heavily was now just a drizzle, but a new problem arose, namely thick fog that blocked the view. Rather than taking the risk, my girlfriend and I immediately took the initiative to immediately make the trip home, and we immediately paid for our order and immediately made the trip home.





    On the way home I felt a very tense sensation, because my visibility was very limited by the very thick fog, the very thick fog covered almost the entire mountainous area, but besides the very thick fog, the very cold weather was also the biggest challenge for me. but I continued my journey home very carefully, I also drove my motorbike at low speed to avoid unwanted things.

    I didn't care about anything while walking, because I really wanted to get out of this very stressful zone, and about 2 hours into our journey we passed a restaurant that looked very beautiful, and I stopped to rest for a moment at the restaurant, but my female friend didn't want to rest anymore at that place because the journey was still very far and rather than building time it would be better to immediately go home, hearing that statement I agreed with what my female friend said, but I also took the time to take some pictures of the restaurant, even though I didn't stop by but I wanted to capture every beautiful moment on this journey so that it would be a beautiful and challenging journey for me.






    and after taking some pictures showing the beauty of the restaurant, we immediately continued our journey home, we went through various challenges and obstacles with full confidence and belief, the very cold weather covered my whole body as well as my female friend, I prioritized her over myself because I was the one who invited her. However, everything went normally

    And about an hour into the journey home, we were suddenly surprised, because it was only raining in the mountainous areas, and because it was no longer raining, I decided to stop at the side of the road to take off the raincoat that was still on my body.




    And after taking off my raincoat and taking pictures of some names there I immediately continued my journey home, estimated around 2 hours more I will arrive in my hometown, namely the beloved city of Bireuen. because in that area it was not raining so I could speed up my motorbike with the aim of getting home quickly, but a new problem came again because when I was almost in the city of Bireuen suddenly it rained again which made me have to stop again and decide to wear my raincoat again.

    It was a very tiring journey but what can I do because this was my own wish. and after passing through several areas I finally arrived in Bireuen city when it was already night, light rain was still falling which still made the atmosphere feel very cold, but when I almost passed Bireuen city suddenly my female friend asked me to buy some supplies to take home, I agreed to my female friend's request and immediately turned my motorbike around and headed straight to the city market.




    And when she arrived at the city market, my female friend immediately bought some supplies to take home, one of which was the toasted bread that is very famous in my area.




    This is one of the very famous cakes in my area, and in my place this cake is often called Roti Bakar, because this cake is made from baked bread and coated with some jam inside, it is very delicious especially when eaten while it is still warm.

    And after buying some supplies at the city market, we immediately continued our journey home and when we passed the Bireuen monument, I took the opportunity to take some pictures there which showed the beauty of Bireuen city at night.




    And after that I immediately put away my cellphone and immediately focused on making the journey home. Well, that was my journey today which was very exciting and full of challenges, and some of the pictures that I have presented with a story that I made as interesting as possible. I hope you are satisfied with this post and can provide entertainment for all my friends.
