Have not been eating this for a very very long time.. keke..

Our hotel stay @ Maximillian.. forgot to the pic of the room.
There is a wide variety of rooms to choose from, S$28 studio rooms to >S$100 suites.
The room is clean and have quite a nice view.. (we stayed at level6). Some rooms on the lower floors from the old wing do not have any views due to it being blocked by a building next door(bird nest factory.

There is a hair salon on the ground floor. On the 2nd floor there is a spa and massage centre. On the 7th floor, there is a cafe/KTV lounge.

After a short rest in hotel, we visited the "Air Terjun" (waterfall in Indonesian).

Had some Kerupuk and coconut drink before we start walk up the journey to see the "Air Terjun"







Tada! Reached already.


You can bath in the man-made pools built to capture the water flowing from the mountain. We walked further up the mountain to take a look. The water indeed is very cold and refreshing.
