Bandung 4D/3N Trip Day 4 - Breakfast / Home Sweet Home

Final breakfast at hotel

Today we had mee goreng - nice!


Fried Rice

Curry Beef

Fried Chicken - a little dry

Mee Goreng

Tempe

Pasteries but without my favourite brownies!

After tasting their brownies for 2 days, decided to order from the hotel. Only costed 30k rp.

Also ordered the marble brownies. Thought it was cheese and chocolate but it was actually like a a normal marble butter cake!

After breakfast and a short rest, it was time to go to the airport. The journey this time took only 11 mins.
Inside the airport - check in counters on the left. Airport looked pretty new. Maybe it was just renovated.

Some shops selling brownies and souvenirs



Plenty of chairs and free wireless - need not pay 35k to go to the executive lounge which looked quite run-down.

Airport Tax counter - 75k rp/adult

These are what we bought: Most of the stuff were bought from Rumah Mode but still managed to get some good stuff form the other FOs in Jalan Riau and Jalan Dago.
