Afternoon before sunset we went to Lembang and up to approximately 10 hours through the night so. Gracia own location in the midst of tea gardens, not far from the "Tangkuban Perahu". From the street in front baligo titled 'Gracia Hotel & Spa' in fact still have to pass approximately 1 km further, past the expanse of tea gardens and road conditions are not good. Maybe if here in the afternoon or evening beautiful scenery is quite good, but since we were there the night it sounded so creepy.

Gracia neighborhood is quite extensive, I do not really pay attention, really, but sort of a lot of houses are also rented lodgings. Less than 10 minutes from the entrance, we finally arrived at the location of a hot water bath. After paying tickets costing 52 thousand for the adults, we scrambled to find a place to sit by the pond empty for storing luggage.

Lembang is very cold weather, the night was quite noisy visitors, or it could be because it was a week night.  Hot water here is also a natural hot spring. Most people come here other than to submerge also want all of relaxation, because it is good place to cool down.

At first had hesitated also to fall, although at first the intention here is to soak because it feels so cold outside air. So in this Gracia there are 3 main pools for adults and 1 pool for children. Around 2 am we finally rushed to go home, but because cold air Lembang increasingly hostile.
