LET'S GO HIKING AND NEVER STOP EXPLORING! (PART I of 2)

Long time no hiking since 2012 I don't know why but maybe because the passion was turn off for a while and felt that the strength was gone.
Any way this last week I had a plan for do a hiking trip with my friend Tito, as I told you before in this THIS POST He just bring me to the old Ojol (again) and finally We decided for go to Papandayan Mt. In Garut. Kind of strange when I realized that We just go together, Yap!! just the two of us but i was thinking hard for make it not strange but we still go hiking and I on fire to do that! And I text Eja and ask him for join us and the answer iiiiss.... "OK!  WILL JOIN IF WE BACK AT SATURDAY" whoooppp! definitely same as my plan that we gonna back at saturday.

Alright, Wednesday in the middle of the night we start the journey...
Well, before I talk about the trip let me tell you who is Eja and Tito which is I will talk a lot about them! hahaha

TITO TAUFIK
He is our driver in this trip take 6 hours driving in a poor condition of his life with not sleep well for 3 days he perfectly bring us to Garut city ahahahaha. 

REZA STEFLYANDO
Well, He sleep while on the way and had a rest before we hiking. He is the kitchen specialist and our porter also hahahahaah He has a biggest carrier of us and so pretty heavy but He did it! 

LYSA PRINGGAYUDA
And here I am as the only one girl in this trip and I was be a Co- Driver or maybe fail navigator with my horrible smartphone hahahaha. I'm not sleep as well because I MUST accompany Tito for driving just in case we lost and need to read map or something like that. 

OK~~
So let's talk about this trip. Wednesday 10 April 2014, I met with Eja in Outlive(store) and talk about this trip and He decided already for join this trip and I did fast packing then Go directly to Ibu's house because I had a appointment with her. Aaaannnd how lucky I am Ibu gave me awesome mountaineering Jacket with primaloft technology hahahaha (U can see it on my picture, the yellow one), so happy indeed! Feel safe and warm with that lovely jacket with love.

After that lovely moment we go to Margahayu for got the meeting point for that night. But, WE HAD BIG PROBLEM his motorbike getting mad and breaking down hahahaha and He finally call Tito for pick up me in the place that we stuck then at 20.30 We met him and put the stuffs on the baggage. While Eja go back home for pack all of his stuff, I and Tito go to Tito's house for re-packing.

Our backpack! Wkkwkwkwk

Alright, at 23.00 W.I.B we go to the meeting point and met with Eja, and here the awesome journey start. We go straight just let the the car run with our uncertain feeling and how fool we are! We get lost! We just suddenly actually not took a wrong way that bring us to Cirebon! Awful! We just took it away tooooo far, and I tell him for stop first and think and let GPS tell everything. And I open GPS from my phone and its really tell us EVERYTHING, especially when the map says we lost and take a wrong way definitely. 
Well, We don't want take a long time for regrets and we just move back directly and here my intention for wouldn't sleep before we arrived! Here I am the full time travel navigator  

We decide for move back and take a shortcut to Nagreg we got it but I just wanna make sure and tell Tito for stop and ask someone and I try not sleepy and still focus to the way and GPS, we got the shortcut way with bad road and so narrow but we must face it and at 03.00 we finished that shit way and finally see the right way! Feel soooooo really better!
04.30 is come and we finally arrived in Garut city
We stop at mini market and I buy some drink and Tito enjoy with his snickers, after take a rest for a while we find a fresh market nearby to buy some stuff to eat for bring it to Papandayan. Damn it! I Hate Indonesia fresh market for sure, I don't like the dirtiness, wet, stinky, and inconvenience place   
But i must do it! And just excited with the price really! I never expect will got the cheap price like that, I got a lot of stuff for 3 days and not reach Rp. 100.000. WHAAAATT!!! It was cheapest shopping that I ever had! 

After that, We go straight follow GPS to go to first Shelter in Papandayan, and as always lost   
but we ask someone there and He bring us to the right way and we just excited to the awesome view in the morning!!!
We stop in the middle of the way and just took this picture HAHAHAHA
look! Tito so looks damn tired! and here I see his face clearly that He was really tired and feel guilty with that condition, i thought we on a nice trip but actually not. So sooorryyy Titoooo!!!


AND HERE'S THE MORNING VIEW !!!






BUT there's a BEST thing there's a WORST thing! We fail bring our car the first shelter because the way was really horrible! We kind of need 4x4 car to through the way.

stuck in the bad road! (nb: Eja looks mamang- mamang hahaha)

Ojeg driver tell us better for take ojeg for get the shelter and because we must make the car safe while we hiking finally we decide for took ojeg  and we paid Rp.25.000 for one way !! WHAT!! EXPENSIVE!!! But no problem as long as Tito's car will safe and we park the car in house of mamang ojeg.
This the first shelter for registration

We finished the conditions (we paid the registration fee Rp.4000/person) before hiking in this shelter and at 09.30 we start for tracking.
