A Week in Manado - Part 3

After our visit to Linouw Lake, we continued on to Bukit Doa Tomohon (Tomohon Prayer Hill). It was a hill top with breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, with a chapel perched at the top. This whole area is privately owned, and it is the same owner as Linouw Lake.

It started drizzling so we didn't stay there for too long. We got a bit hungry, so we moved on to our next stop, Gardenia Country Inn. Apparently this inn was also owned by the same person as the other two. True to their name, their main attraction is a large garden area with countless types of flowers, most of them blooming at the time. I wonder if they bloom all year long. 

On the other side, their food was not that great. And it took forever to arrive. So I would recommend anyone to travel here to see the garden and have some drinks, but don't come hungry and better eat elsewhere.

She confiscated my phone and took lots of pictures

Our real dinner was supposed to be Ragey (pork belly satay) at Ragey Von Von but they were closed. :( So we went to Ragey Roy across the street. It was good, but not as good. 

We drove back to Manado after dinner just in time to catch sunset. I was not feeling that great so I stayed behind in the apartment while DH and my cousin went.

Stay tuned for more! Next is Lihaga Island
