I will never forget the day that my family and I are travelling in Taman Bunga Nusantara (Nusantara Flower Park). It is located in Jl. Mariwati KM 7 Cipanas, Bogor, Indonesia, between Gede Mountain and tea plantation. To go to Taman Bunga Nusantara, you will drive your car on free way but always traffic jam there, because there are many visitors who want to visit it. Unfortunately, my driver knows very well that area so he drives the car through paths.
Before finally we arrived in Taman Bunga Nusantara, we saw beautiful mountainous and tea plantation on the left and right side. That was amazing! Finally my family and I arrived in our destination. Get off from the car, directly I feel fresh and cool air. There was a big statue of Black Swan as the icon park. I also saw some flowers arranged extraordinarily in welcoming board that made me curious to see the inside. Then, we decided to get on garden tram and I could not wait to see flowers around my country.
It was excellent scenery! There were spreading off varieties of flower and plant. They were arranged like animals. For example, there were 2.500 plants varieties that were arranged like giant peacock, dinosaur, rabbit, duck and turtle. After that, we walked on the path and touched the flowers. I could not stand picking some pink big roses, though it was not permitted. Besides its beautifulness, the roses smell so good, captivating and colorful. Spontaneously, my little sister asked me “Can you pick the water lily for my?” Then I said, “Sorry, I can’t. I have to swim the pond to pick it.” I gave her a gerbera instead of swimming in the pond.
As we walked, we found France Park with Renaissance style. The design of the park was geometric which was very unique. My sister played hide and seek with my mother, they looked so happy. While I was sitting on a bench, seeing around and taking a deep fresh air, my brother found a little fountain and touched the water. Suddenly, he splashed the water to me. It was very cold. To have a rest, all of us sat on the bench and taking some pictures. It was fun!
Last but not least, we visited a green house. It made from 3.000 panels of glasses by the expert from Holland. There we enjoyed the beautiful of varieties unique flowers, orchid, and kinds flowers for wedding decoration.
Finally, we satisfied with our travelling. Besides enjoying the scenery, our body also felt refresh by walking and breathing fresh air around the park. It was unforgettable moment ever.
