Tuesday morning 16th June 2009, after a good night sleep at the hotel we decided to have an early morning walk.
It is a refreshing sight to see the locals walking, jogging or cycling for exercise at the public roads, some bare-footed! And this is not even a weekend. It is a good thing that the air in Aceh is still fresh unlike in congested Kuala Lumpur where you could only see views like this only on the weekends and even then at the parks, not on public roads.
Then it's time to get back to the hotel...
The night before, me and wife went up the top of the hotel and found the view fascinating. So we made it a point to come up again in the morning to snap the views. This should be the view direct to the south with the main mountain range of Bukit Barisan imposing in the horizon.
A 30 degree turn anti-clockwise and you could see the further parts of Bukit Barisan...
Another 30 degree turn anti-clockwise and it's the turn of the mountain Seulawah to come into view...
60 degree turn anti-clockwise...
Another 30 degree turn and it's all the way to the north. The view is blocked by these parts of the building but never mind, we'll change positions later...
Another 30 degree turn and you could see plenty of houses...
60 degree turn and you will face the West with the centre of Banda Aceh in view. It is interesting to note that there are plenty of
padi or rice fields still existing here, what more within the boundaries of the city itself!
Another 30 degree turn and we are back to where we started except I decided to take the view slightly downwards...
Look more downwards and you can see part of the hotel swimming pool...
By the way the time then was about 7am or so local time, 7+ GMT if I'm not mistaken...
Now, a look northwards from the north-wing of the hotel.
One towards the house 30 degree anti-clockwise turn...
A view towards city centre... that's all! :]
