Have you ever imagined exploring the beauty of Java Island — from the cool breeze of Bandung, the mystical charm of Borobudur Temple in Yogyakarta, to the coastal wonder of Banyuwangi — all in one unforgettable journey? That’s exactly what Pieter and his partner from the Netherlands experienced with DriverBandungcom, a trusted travel service that turns every trip into a heartwarming story of culture and friendship.
The First Encounter: A Warm Welcome in Bandung
It was a bright Sunday morning in Bandung. Our team from DriverBandungcom waited in front of a hotel in the Dago area to welcome two special guests — Pieter and his partner from the Netherlands.
The moment they entered the car, Pieter smiled and greeted warmly,
“Good morning! We’re excited for the Bandung trip!”
Our driver replied cheerfully,
“Selamat pagi! Welcome to Bandung, the City of Flowers!”
That simple exchange marked the beginning of a five-day adventure across Java — from the cool highlands of Bandung to the cultural heart of Yogyakarta, and finally the coastal charm of Banyuwangi.
Day 1: Discovering the Beauty of Lembang
The first stop was Lembang, a picturesque area north of Bandung famous for its cool air and mountain scenery.
After a fresh breakfast at Farmhouse Susu Lembang, Pieter and his partner explored The Lodge Maribaya, trying the iconic sky swing and walking bridge.
Pieter couldn’t hide his excitement:
“This view is amazing — it feels like we’re flying over a green ocean!”
Later in the day, they visited Floating Market Lembang, where they tried local snacks such as batagor and siomay. Pieter laughed as he tried the peanut sauce, saying,
“It’s so tasty! I love it!”

Day 2: Exploring Bandung’s Heritage and Culture
The second day was all about history and culture. Pieter and his partner visited Gedung Sate, a colonial-era landmark built during the Dutch East Indies period. Pieter smiled when he learned about the connection between his homeland and Bandung’s past.
Then came a relaxing walk along Braga Street, where they enjoyed coffee and pastries at a vintage café surrounded by art deco buildings.
“This street feels nostalgic — like a walk through time,” Pieter said.
In the afternoon, they shopped for souvenirs at Pasar Baru Trade Center and ended the day with dinner at Dago Tea House, watching the Bandung skyline light up at night.
Day 3: Road Trip to Yogyakarta
After two full days in Bandung, the journey continued to Yogyakarta. The long drive across Java was an adventure in itself — passing rice fields, small villages, and green hills.
Pieter often commented on how peaceful the countryside looked:
“I love seeing how people live along the road. Everything feels authentic.”
They arrived in Yogyakarta by evening and rested for the next day’s main highlight — visiting one of the world’s greatest temples.
Day 4: The Spiritual Majesty of Borobudur

“This is magical. You can feel the peace in every stone,” he whispered.
We explained the deep symbolism carved into the temple’s reliefs — a reflection of life, enlightenment, and harmony.
The rest of the day included visits to Keraton Yogyakarta, Taman Sari Water Castle, and the lively Malioboro Street, where Pieter tried gudeg, a traditional Javanese dish.
“It’s sweet and delicious! I’ll definitely miss this taste,” he said with a grin.
Day 5: From Malang to Banyuwangi – A Journey to the East
On the fifth day, the adventure continued from Malang toward Banyuwangi, marking the final leg of their Java exploration.
The scenery along the route was breathtaking — lush green hills, quiet villages, and the vast ocean. Pieter kept taking pictures, amazed by how diverse Indonesia is.
“Every city feels different, but they’re all beautiful,” he said, gazing out the window.
By the time they reached Banyuwangi, Pieter and his partner were filled with memories — and promised they would return to Indonesia someday.
The Comfort and Professionalism of DriverBandungcom
Throughout the trip, Pieter repeatedly complimented the driver’s friendliness, punctuality, and professionalism.
Our team ensured their comfort — providing flexible schedules, clean rest stops, and local restaurant recommendations suitable for foreign travelers.
“Our driver isn’t just a driver — he’s a friend who makes everything easier,” Pieter said before parting ways.

“Thank you, Driver Bandung. We’ll definitely come back again!”
For us, that simple farewell carried deep meaning — proof that genuine service and hospitality always leave a lasting impression.
From Bandung’s mountains to Yogyakarta’s temples and Banyuwangi’s coast, this journey was more than a trip — it was a bridge between cultures and hearts.
