Bogor the green side!

After the historical part it was time to discover the green side! We started a long walk in the botanical gardens. We walked for about 2 hours and my feet were hurting a lot but the beauty of the gardens made me forget my pain!
Our guide told us that the botanical gardens are one of the largest in the world, they have a surface of 110 hectares with 12000 different sort of plants. Most of the plants are exotic, they even have more than 3000 different sorts of orchids. My mother would really like this, she has 6 orchids at home but this is nothing in comparison with what I saw today.

On our way back with the motorbus we took a route that passed by tea plantations. Even behind a window it was breathtaking. On the advice of a friend of us our last stop of today was Puncak pass.
So far I think this was the most miraculous view I have seen since day 1 of our trip.
It is the highest point and is located 1500 meters high. 
We were all glad that we had some cooling because it was that high. We all walked for the last time today to the Telaga Warna lake.
It is a volcanic lake and is well known because of the debut novel Oeroeg written by Hella Haasse!

I was very surprised to see this because it is something that you’ll never see in Belgium. It made me think of something prehistorically. When I was little I saw some movies and cartoons about dinosaurs and this made me think a lot of dinosaurs!
But I was glad when I could leave because I was a bit scared that I would be attacked by a dinosaur! (Just kidding)

We were devastated when we arrived at the hotel so we are having a quiet evening.
Enjoy your evening!
