Hi all. How are you? I hope you're okay. The pandemic is not over yet, may you always be happy and healthy. I want to share a short vacation with my friends. I have already said that every year the company (where I work) holds a meeting with all partners and the community. Last year we chose to go to Belitung. After the meeting, we visited the tour there. This year we have agro-tourism in Gunung Mas, Bogor, Indonesia.
I call it a vacation. After discussing our yearly plans, we went on vacation together. The two activities we chose here. First, we choose outbound. The first choice was made to build camaraderie among the staff. There are many games that require cooperation. This is fun. Because, we do a lot of work, so cooperation games about cooperation need to be done. Second, we chose to do trekking in Gunung Mas. The story about this second activity that I will share.
Actually there are many choices of paths, but I think the staff in my company are of various ages. So, we thought about their condition, so we chose the simple path. Even though it's simple, I still feel tired. this place is in a very cool area. Even if it was daytime, this place would be cold. The reason, this place is at an altitude of 800 feet-1,200 meters above sea level. Automatically, this place will have an air temperature between 12-22 degrees Celsius. This place is so cool.
For me who lives in Jakarta, being in a very comfortable place. Jakarta has a very hot air temperature. For me, this place is perfect for recreation and relaxing the mind from the pressure of work. Of course, routine work. This place makes me calm and comfortable. The strength of this place is the natural beauty in the highlands of Indonesia, namely the green tea gardens. And, there was a light mist covering the mountain.
During the tracking, it was clearly a green and beautiful tea garden. I am very comfortable here. Moreover, enjoy the natural beauty here. This agro-tourism has an area of 2,551 hectares. Here is a tea factory. We didn't choose the tour to see the tea gardens, so we didn't get to visit the factory. as we toured the tea gardens, we were told about the farmers who work here. In a day, farmers can produce 28 tons of wet tea. Meanwhile, the dry tea produced is 6 tons.
Along the way, I feel very refreshed. It's like, lost all my stress about work. Especially, along the way, there are many things I can talk about with my friends. We laughed together. We circled the tea garden with a path. All the scenery in this place is very beautiful. The end of our trekking trip is in one of the rivers. I am happy with the last session of the trip.
I can play water happily here. I went along this river, but the rocks in this place were very sharp and slippery. it makes my feet hurt. But, I am satisfied playing in the water. The water is very cold, I wash my face with river water. as well as my feet and hands. It's very fresh. All sweat and tiredness during trekking in the tea gardens, are erased when washing your face with this river water. I want to go back there with more challenging trekking.
Some of my friends played in the water until their clothes were wet. I just laughed at their behavior. That's my story about this place and my short vacation, I hope you are entertained by my story. See you in the next story. Enjoy the weekend.
