off to bukittinggi: harau valley
As I said earlier, Harau Valley is a God's gift to the people of West Sumatera. Along the way we were provided by only green and green scenes. Beautiful. We could not say how thankful we were to have this journey. There was always a temptation to pull the car over, just to breath the air and of course take pictures :D
Rest a while
the background is the Harau Valley
The Harau Valley is actually a place surrounded by long and gigantic rocks. Just stand in the middle of the valley then shout one name, and youl'll be surprise! It'll shout the name back to you! There was only 7 of us, 8 with the driver, and we acted like corny Paris Hilton in Simple Life.
In the valley, there is a homestay, famous among the backpackers, called Echo Homestay. A cool place to find peace. Once again, if you are a green lover, stay over in this place is indeed a good idea ^_^
We stopped by to pray, feeling the fresh water from the mountain. The view was more than wonderful with traditional design on their buildings.
Echo Homestay
Fresh after praying

Highlights
* Harau Valley
There is no entrance fee to this place. But some people stopped our car and ask for money
The driver asked me to give 'em Rp 11.000 for 8 people. So, let say the entrance fee is Rp 1,375/person
