Istana Dieng (pen)

We went back to the pool at Istana Dieng today. We invited some of friends to go as well. It is so relaxing. There is so much foliage and exotic plants and trees. It truly looks like an oasis. This is a view from the middle of the pool on an "peninsula". There is an island part that you can walk over a bridge to. A water slide for the kids as well as a shallow pool that is raised about three feet above the rest so the water from the shallow pool flows over a nice smooth wall into the deeper part that you see below. Then around the "peninsula" part it gets about six to seven feet so you can lap swim. There is a pool bar that serves food and beverage that you swim up to. Also, they have a very nice lazy river that goes under stone bridges and has beautiful exotic plants as over hang all the way around. It is usually empty so we have the entire pool to ourselves. The weekend gets really crowded.

The dark part in the background is tinted glass that goes to the gym.
