Finally to Padang..

By Monday (9th July), we had spent 2 nights in Sumbar (Sumatera Barat - West Sumatera), i.e. one each in Bukit Tinggi and Maninjau. We were then on our way to Padang (to spend our 3rd and final night there).

After visiting Hamka's birthplace, we proceeded back to Padang Panjang (en route to Padang). We climbed up the famous 44 bends that we decended yesterday to get to Danau Maninjau. The scenery was breathtaking!!


No space was left wasted! every little corner is turned into small terraces of padi plots:
I kinda fell sad that we had to leave the place :-(

On the way, we made a few other stops - again to enjoy the views:



DH has prepared a better travelogue on this trip under these titles:

Bukit Tinggi Afternoon
Bukit Tinggi Morning
On the way to Batusangkar
Pagaruyung to Maninjau
