Bukit Cinta

We rented a car (Rp 600k inc. driver and gasoline) to visit some touristy places in Cirebon, first stop is Bukit Cinta. The driver pick us up in our hotel and we also checked out and asked the hotel to keep our bags. I took around 30 - 40 minutes to get there. By the time we arrived at Bukit Cinta, it was still empty, I think I just saw 2 - 3 peoples there already. There are few spots to take pictures so we strolled around the area and took some pictures.

Telaga Biru

I kind of curious with those pictures that I've seen about this place and apparently the location is still reachable then we decided to find out about this place. Entrance Fee is Rp 30k/person. Once we arrived there, it's pretty crowded and apparently it's just this lake, not too big but the main attraction is the photo spot where you can ride the swing where there so many fish underneath. We took the queue number to get pictured on the swing (Rp 8k/person), it took quite longer. To get the pictures they offered Rp 10k for 3 pictures and as usual it's just hard to choose the pictures, I chose like 30 pictures of mine haha. We also ride the boat to get around the lake (Rp 10k/person). Anyway, the driver also kind enough to help us taking pictures even videos from our phone.

Rumah Makan Kharitzma

We were so hungry so we asked recommendation from the driver and he told us about this place, it's a big restaurant where so many family eating in this restaurant. We ordered some fish, soup etc. It was so tasty, so thankful to the driver for letting us know about this place. We had a good lunch (Rp 258k). 

From here we asked the driver to take us to Kampung Sabin, but when we arrived there, my friend said this place is quite similar with Svargabumi, Magelang. We could see this place and it was so hot then we decided no to go inside and went back again to Batik Trusmi instead, last shopping before going back, it's just more tempting to go there again. My friend also join their member so she can get extra discount haha. But, I love how big this store is and they offered so many things to look at, so if yo go to Cirebon, I recommend you to visit this place to shop.

Olive Bistro

We asked the driver to go to our hotel to get our bags and we went to this cafe while waiting time before heading to station. We ordered some drinks and snacks in that cafe, the price was not too expensive. (Rp 239k). The cafe was not too far from the station, our train Purwojaya will depart from Cirebon at 6.02 PM. We bought KFC for our dinner and eating in the train.
