Diary of Holyland (I)

Cengkareng, Jakarta – 05 Jan 2023

Mum and I are having another adventure, and now we want to explore the Holyland! We start our journey with our travel group from Cengkareng Airport, Jakarta. Our flight with Emirates airlines took less than 17 hours, with 1-stop at Dubai airport. We only carry one big luggage and two small cabin luggages since I don’t expect Mum to carry a lot of stuff. We are confident that we carry most of important things. In the end, we still carry too much clothes for 2 weeks trips.

Especially when there was no window opportunity to get a vaccine for people less than 60 years old. Back then and until these days, partial lockdown is applied everywhere within and outside the country.

Why I’m back to Bandung (my hometown)

After staying in Bogor for years and lots of travels finally I’m back for good to Bandung – my hometown – due to COVID 19. Yes, the reason is quite common as other people nowadays.
