My dear Mimi & Jhum,
On last Saturday also we had an outing a bigger one this time. We had been first to a botanical garden named Cibodas close to Panchak about 100 kms away, at an altitude of approximately 1,400 meters. The roads are good enough for fast driving; in fact, you will feel that the car is not moving fast enough even when it is driven at 100/120 km/hour and that is normal even within Jakarta). The picturesque landscape, a few (air terjum) water falls, a variety of trees and plants obtained also from many other countries and well-planned layout etc. all has made the place a remarkable tourist attraction & picnic spot.
There from we went to a well-staffed open zoological garden-called Taman Safari at the foothills. While being driven through, various herbivorous animals came and almost knocked at the closed car window for carrot etc. people usually throw to them notwithstanding official advice to the contrary. There are a wide variety of animal form Africa including Hypo & Rhino, Ostrich, Zebra, Giraffe, Lion, etc., Red Panda, Lama, Tapir, Wallaby & Kangaroo, polar Bear, Anon (local goat) & Ibex, Panther & Leopard, Tigers (both yellow and white variety) from Sumatra (not from our country), etc. to name some. And there are plenty in number of most types.
Alongside the open zoo there is a baby zoo with a variety of birds and many animal. They have also kept on flimsy leash-white tiger, Leopard, and orangutan for visitors to get photographed with should they so desire. Other attractions, e.g., giant wheel, swimming pool, etc. also have been provided so that children as also their parents could spent hours and even week-ends over there. On our way back we had late lunch at a small simple wayside restaurant where we got clean and wholesome food. From the same place Moni bought groundnut cookies quite similar to ‘chikies’ of Lonavla.
This much for today, lest you loose interest. I am sure you all are o.k.
We are fine. Please give my regards and love and affection to all as due.
Yours etc.
