Widyawisata to Bandung
Rabu 2 November 2011, tepatnya pukul 23.00 anak-anak sudah berkumpul di depan SMPN 1 Kuningan. Mereka tinggal menunggu waktu pelepasan oleh bapak Kepala Sekolah untuk melaksanakan kegiatan Widyawisata atau PLS ke Kota Bandung, Jawa Barat.
Ketika semua telah berkumpul, akhirnya pada pukul 23.40 rombongan yang berjumlah 38 siswa dan 14 pembimbing pun berangkat menuju tujuan. Karena masih larut malam, hampir seluruhnya melanjutkan istirahat di dalam bis. Tetapi tidak bagi saya, entah mengapa saya tidak bias tidur dalam perjalanan menuju ke Bandung itu. Akhirnya saya terus mendengarkan alunan music yang keluar dari Handphone saya sambil sesekali mengobrol dengan teman lain yang juga tidak tidur.
Dijadwalkan bis tiba di Restoran Simpang Raya Cipacing pada pukul 04.00 pagi, tetapi nyatanya pukul 03.48 bis sudah tiba di tujuan. Sebuah pencapaian yang melampaui target. Selesai sholat, mandi, dan sarapan, pada pukul 06.30 bis melaju kembali. Tujuan kita kali ini adalah Museum Konferensi Asia-Afrika, gedung yang menjadi saksi bisu terselenggaranya konferensi yang memiliki andil besar dalam perdamaian dunia. Pada pukul 07.45 bis sudah tiba di tujuan, tetapi museum belum buka. Ya sudahlah, akhirnya kita menunggu di Masjid Raya Bandung yang tak jauh dari sana.
Pukul 12.00 kita sampai di Lembang, namun kita harus menenpuh jarak 1 KM lagi dengan berjalan kaki, karena bis tidak bias masuk ke areal observatorium. Sebelum kita masuk ke ruang teleskop “Zeiss”, terlebih dahulu kita menunaikan sholat dan makan siang. Ruang teleskopnya tidak terlalu besar, diameter ruangannya kurang lebih 15 m. Disana kita diberi penjelasan mengenai segala hal yang menyangkut observatorium bosscha ini dan menonton film dokumenter juga.
Selanjutnya, pukul 16.00 kita sampai di TWA Gunung Tangkuban Perahu. Kita hanya sebentar disana, karena kabut tebal dan hujan yang tidak memungkinkan untuk mengadakan kegiatan. Selanjutnya kita langsung ke tujuan akhir Cihampelas Walk.
Tiba di Cihampelas Walk pukul 18.00 dan langsung menyantap menu makan malam. Setelahnya langsung saja saya menunaikan sholat maghrib di musholla setempat. Makan sudah, sholat sudah, artinya ini waktunya untuk belanja dan jalan-jalan. Kita berkeliling di Ciwalk sampai pukul 19.30, banyak sekali barang-barang yang menarik disana, tetapi hanya barang dengan harga yang “rasional” saja yang kami beli. Maklum dana pas-pas an.
Akhrinya pukul 20.00, kami pulang menuju Kota Kuningan tercinta. Amat banyak pengalaman yang didapat selama disana. Meskipun hanya satu hari, tapi tak akan terlupakan sampai kapanpun. Jum’at, 4 November 2011, tepatnya pukul 01.20 dini hari, rombongan PLS Akselerasi tiba di Kuningan. Unforgetable Moment, Amazing!!!

Tour to Bandung
Tour to Bandung
Wednesday, November 2, 2011, precisely at 23 o'clock the children had gathered in front of the SMPN 1 Kuningan. They're just waiting for the release time by the Principal to carry out activities Widyawisata or PLS to the Bandung, West Java.
When all had gathered, finally at 23:40 the entourage that about 38 students and 14 guide went to the destination. Because it is still late at night, almost entirely to continue resting on a bus. for some reason I can not sleep on the way to Bandung. Finally, I continue to listen to the music that out of mobile phones my and occasionally talking with another friend who also did not sleep.
Scheduled bus arrived at Simpang Raya Restaurant Cipacing at 04.00 am, but in fact at 03:48 the bus has arrived at the destination. An achievement which exceeded the target. After the prayer, bath, and breakfast, at 6:30 o'clock bus drove back. Our destination this time is the Museum of Asian-African Conference, the building is a silent witness of the implementation conference that has a big hand in world peace. At 7:45 the bus had arrived at the destination, but the museum is not open yet. Never mind, finally we waited in Bandung Raya Mosque not far from there.
An unforgettable experience during their stay at the Museum KAA, only there is a sense of wonder and awe in this hearts. How important the role of this Conference in the eyes of the world. And how this historic building. There we are all invited to tour the museum and see the documentary film of KAA. After the KAA, we move on to Lembang. Our destination this time is Bosscha Observatory.
At 12.00 we arrived at Lembang, but we have to a distance of 1 KM again by foot, because the bus can't enter the area of observatory. Before we get into room telescope "Zeiss", first we pray and lunch.Telescope room is not too large, the diameter of the room approximately 15 m. There we were given an explanation of all matters relating to this Bosscha Observatory and watch the documentary film as well.
Furthermore, at 16.00 we arrived at TWA Mount Tangkuban Perahu. We only a short time there, because of thick fog and rain are not allowed to hold activities. Next we direct to the last destination, Cihampelas Walk.
Arrive at Cihampelas Walk at 18:00 and directly have dinner. Afterwards I just pray Maghrib at the local mosque. Dinner is, prayer is, that means it's time for shopping and a walk. We traveled in Ciwalk until 19:30 o'clock, a lot of interesting stuff there, but only the goods at a price that "rational" course that we bought. Understandably fund is fit.
Finally at 20:00, we returned to the beloved Kuningan city. Very much experience gained over there. Although only one day, but it will not be forgotten until whenever. Friday, 4 November 2011, precisely at 01:20 in the morning, the entourage of PLS Acceleration arrived at Kuningan. Unforgetable Moment, Amazing!!!
