It is a long weekend here, staying at a lovely hotel with great views of Mount Salak, a volcano. Mostly have been eating and shopping, some golf is on the cards as well...

this is the view out of our hotel window, taken about 7.00am - yesterday I waited since the light is not great, but by midday the mountain was completely covered in haze... so I took a couple of pics today and tried to 'pop' them, but not super successful.

What is the elevation of the town? Is it cooler up there?

Indoexile · 18-08-2008, 04:36 PM

As I remember the elevation is about 290 metres or something, but it is noticably cooler, and rains an awful lot.

Not sure exactly why.

I remember wandering around the Botanical gardens there, lots of fruit bats hanging on some trees, amazing sight

there is also some volcanic stuff to see

I also had my first Indo sex in Bogor, a dirty weekend
