We took a family trip to Puncak, Indonesia with our friends recently and stayed at a private guest house. I posted some photos from the same trip in “Playing in Mysterious Misty Afternoon”. The photos in that post were taken after the mist has surrounded our area and created a very mysterious atmosphere. It was great joy to take photos of the kids play in the garden.
The highlight of our trip was to play in the garden. It might be something very normal to do in some countries, but it is not the case in the concrete jungle of Jakarta. The climate in Puncak was surprisingly very pleasant and almost chilly at night because of the high altitude and it was fabulous not to sweat when we played outside. Kids played endlessly without any toys.
These photos will be my keepsake from Indonesia and will always bring back the fond memories. Puncak is the area near Taman Safari, Safari Park (zoo). If you are interested in Taman Safari, please click here for my first Taman Safari post and here for my second feature of Taman Safari. If you go there, I highly recommend staying in the area overnight. It’s worth the money for sure.
最近友人家族とプンチャクというジャカルタから車で2時間ちょっとの場所にある避暑地へ行ってきました。先週、“Playing in Mysterious Misty Afternoon”というタイトルで記事を掲載しました。霧が丘を囲い、何とも言えない不思議な雰囲気を作っていました。その中で子供達の写真を撮るのはとても楽しかったです。
この小旅行での一番の思い出は、多分外の庭で遊べた事であると思います。日本や先進国に住んでいると、外で走り回って遊ぶのなんてとても当たり前のことですが、コンクリートジャングルであるジャカルタではなかなかできない贅沢になっています。プンチャクは高度が高いため、気温が低く、夜など肌寒い程で、とても過ごしやすかったです。インドネシアに居て、外で汗をかかない事があるのかとびっくりした程でした。
この記事に載せた写真は私の思い出となって心にいつまでも残ることになると思います。プンチャクは、タマン・サファリからとても近いです。タマン・サファリとはインドネシアの人口サファリパークのことで、以前このブログに記事を載せた事がありますので、もしご興味がありましたら、読んでみて下さい。最初のタマン・サファリに関する記事はこちらに、次のタマン・サファリに関する記事はこちらで見る事が出来ます。

Kaho San, I noticed your daughter pink plastic boots, so cute. Interested to have one too, moreover considering Jakarta Rainy Season’s Muddy Streets. ^_^ where did you get it?
Kaho says
The light pink rain boots are from Japan and the dark ones with flowers are from GAP in the U.S. Thanks! Yes, the rainy season seems to have started in Jakarta!
