This was very unusual vacation. On the way back to Jakarta from ‘Kampung Nenek”, we decided to drop by at Sangkanurip, Kuningan. It is located in the foothill of Mount Ciremai, approximately 35 Km from Cirebon towards Kuningan. Surround yourself in the beautiful sceneries and fresh mountain air.
Sangkanurip is one of the tourist villages that do not only rely on beautiful panoramas, but also water for health. In the small village at the foot of Mount Ciremai that mineralized hot springs flow.
The point of the flow is not so much, only in certain joints. But that’s precisely what makes the Village Sangkanhurip be special. Hot water is contains various mineral elements, especially odium, used by the visitors to relax the muscles. Also believed, hot water, by use of routine, it is an effective way to combat rheumatism and destroying fat. Therefore, hot water pool in the cool area in the valley of Mount Ciremai was visited by many tourists.
Batu Karas is a little village 1 hour away from Pangandaran. Batu Karas offers a nice beach for swimming and surfing. There are also several restaurants and hotels. This is a simple and remote village that will appeal to surfers, those wanting to immerse themselves in another culture, or anyone who just wants to get away from it all.
The performance at Saung Angklung Udjo features the Angklung, but also incorporates Wayang Golek (wooden puppets), traditional dance, and the children’s orchestra into the show, so it’s interesting to watch as well as listen to.
Visitors are first greeted by a model red earth made of steel showing how hot the planet can get. A virtual ice floor, where the ice cracks when someone steps on it, brings a sense of how fragile the ice in the North Pole is. The experience was heightened by screens showing flooding, the melting glaciers and storms. Cartoonists Benny and Mice put on a playful show about Jakartans' wasteful habits, with Mice watching three television sets, with the radio, fan and air conditioner on, and Benny talking about buying new cars that will only add to the pollution and long traffic jams. Bad habits related to global warming were highlighted in cartoons and pictures, depicting leaving the AC and TV set on when not in use and letting the water run when brushing teeth.
