It’s been a long time since the last trip
(The Golden Sunrise mission). What can I say? The daily routine never allows me
to set a new travelling plan, poor me. But there will always be a light at the
end of the tunnel ha! Finally I met my partners in crime, and voila! A plan to
go somewhere new was set.
Since I have a job that must be done almost
every day, we just made a “one day trip” agenda. We had the list of places that
can be visited, and Waterfall was the chosen one. The destination was not too
far from where we stay, we decided to “hunt” the waterfalls in Ungaran (the
capital city of Semarang, Central Java). From the internet, we knew that this
city has several good waterfalls to be visited. Lawe, Semirang, Tujuh Bidadari
(means seven angels, honestly man… I don’t know what the origin of that name was)
are three of many waterfalls in Ungaran.

In the morning we had already prepared the
requirements: drinking water, snacks, bread, rainy coat (it was rainy season in
my place), and of course, money (we always need that thing, right? LOL). Unfortunately,
I can’t remember the route to reach the spot (poor me), I just remember it took
about one-two hours to reach the first destination; it was Curug Tujuh Bidadari
(Curug means waterfall) and it was
crowded, suck. But it wasn’t a big deal when we could enjoy the. There was a
unique bridge made from bamboo, some waterfalls in different spots view,
overall it was not too bad. In fact, maybe because of its beauty this place was
used by some “freak” models to take picture hahaa (it was inside joke, there
were several aged women who wore some catchy stuff, and the wrost part is, they
don’t match at all. They were looked strange.) FYI, the waterfall in this place
was not too high (see ’em on da pics yo!).

Before afternoon, we continued to the next
destination: Curug Lawe. It was cloudy, but we were lucky. It wasn’t rain. The
way to reach the second waterfall was not good I think… and we had to walk
several kilometers to get there. But the best part of this place was: it wasn’t
crowded.
There were only a boy and a girl (they might be in relationship) who were fooling around
there. It was looked more natural than the previous one, I loved it. The water
was so clear, I could see the bottom of the river, and it was so cold. It was a
nice place surrounded by trees (just like a little forest), peaceful and cool.
I recommend this place for you to visit. Unfortunately, we couldn’t hunt the
next waterfall, because the night was about to come. We back to our place and
hopefully next time we could continue this waterfall mission.
