Short Trip Around Kayu Aro

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.-Washington Irving

What a amazing friday morning I had. just relax alone at home with a cup of tea in my hand and listening my favorite music. Suddenly, my friend came to my home with my Ducth friend. She just arrived in Kerinci and stay with my friend. They don't have plans yet, what should we go ? And come to my home to pick me up

Me : what's your plans today ?
Friend : we dunno yet. do you have plans today ?
Me : I have no idea
Friend : let's go Kayu aro ?
Me : that's good

After discuss about our plans, we decided to go around Kayu Aro ( Kayu aro is one of district in Kerinci ). We're going with 2 motorcycle. before going to Kayu aro, we stay for a while at my friend's homestay in Sungai batu gantih village. View arounds homestay is awesome. Surrounded by ricefields, plantation and rivers with cold clear water. Unfortunately, we just stay around 15 minutes there. Next, countinue to Kayu aro.

In Kayu aro, we went to waterfall in Pauh Tinggi village. It's the second time I have been there, the first time when I was in senior high school on the second class and it's been seven years (too looong ya.., :D) but glad to be back. The waterfall is near from local recident, we took only 15 minutes reach there passed plantation grown with coffee. this waterfall only 30m I guess but cool. We just stay around 20 minutes and unfortunately we didn't take many picture there, just some pictures. Because we would visit Tea factory as well.

After back from waterfall, we felt a lil bit tired and hungry and my friend said "let's go my sister's home and get lunch there". Arrived in friend sister's home, got lunch there and took a rest for a while before visit tea factory. But we change our plan to visit tea factory, because we're still a lil bit tired and decided to back home.

there is nothing better spending time with friends
