In Indonesia, long weekend becomes a favorite moment for most people. It is time to spent a whole day with our family, friends, or partner, etc. And for me, it is time to exploring a new place, especially a tourism place. Hence, I have planned a travelling activity with my friends since a long time before long weekend
We started our trip at Thursday morning, we moved from Rumbai, Pekanbaru to Bukittinggi, Sumatera Barat. Through the journey, we saw a lot of rice field, wide clean river, and limestone hill. In bukittinggi, we stayed at small motels and walked around to enjoy the beauty of this city. Here below are our capture regarding bukittingi:
We can see singgalang mountain clearly from limpapeh bridge as seen above, aspecially in the shiny morning.
Limpapeh bridge was viewed from bukittingi zoo.
Limpapeh bridge connects Kuantan zoo & culture park and benteng Fort De Kock. This is a suspension bridge, so we might be sway in the middle of bridge.
The most famous object in Bukittingi is Jam Gadang (Great Watch). It is located in the centre of city. As usual it would not be completed if we did not take any pic in the famous place, Here below are My friends photos with their style:
and this is me (I always pray to be a photogenic person):
From Bukittinggi, we moved to Danau Maninjau. It is a lake which sorrounded by hills, just like a bowl with water in the middle. The air is fresh and relaxing, the people are very welcome. However, we must pass a lot of winding roads before entering the lake. The winding road is called "kelok 44". By this road, we can enjoy an amazing panorama of maninjau such like these:

After enjoyed foods at maninjau resto, we moved to padang. In padang, we visited malinkundang beach (pantai air manis), adityawarman museum, and pariaman beach.
