Yogjakarta- Year End

having a getaway with the rest of your family obviously different when you travelling and explore your holiday with your travelling buddies or friends. i didn't say it wasn't fun at all, but it wasn't so thrilling and excited for me. Going to Yogja for me, was like a family reunion. It is when every place you go, you eat, and all the itinerary is control by them. If you want to escape on your own, they will consider you as being disrespect to the family, because they will think that you don't want to spend time with them. And here i am, try to enjoy every stress moment of it.

First day, i flew to jogja by mandala. luckily it was on time. No delay, and right on schedule. I arrived in jogja noon time, and picked up by my uncle, who i barely even know. He is my mom's cousin which i haven't seen for a long time. He then kindly took me having soto daging pinggir jalan for lunch. I was surprised to find out that the soto actually taste really good. Combine with perkedel kentang, kerupuk, gorengan and es jeruk, it was nice welcome after all.

Then, after our delicious lunch, they took me straight to my hotel. It was nothing like luxurious hotel. It was actually my grand mother's house with a touch of Javanese interior long time ago and bought by her own step brother and turned into a small cheap hotel. So, here i am staying at this hotel room for the rest of the afternoon, waiting for my mom and dad to be arrived. My parents were taking a road way to get to jogja. 10 hours long who can stand it, well i cant!!. anyway my first day become incredibly bored, except the lunch.

Second day was beach day. Actually I've been to this beach before. It located in Wonosari and took a long way from yogja. There are few other beaches, which located near in one area. But since i bring my big family of my father, including kids, we only got to visit 2 beaches, pantai drini and baron. Pantai drini was very quiet and not so many people here. Although it wasn't a clean beach like i expected, but it wasn't bad at all. So, i decided to took some pictures, and enjoy the scenery of a big wave. Sorry, I'm not a fan of a wave beach, i prefer a beach with a clean soft sand and crystal blue water.

We then went to the next beach which was pantai baron. So many people, crowded and dirty. Nothing much i say about this beach, it just *engga banget*, i cannot enjoy it at all!

Third day in Yogja. - i am actually expecting my friends who are coming tonight. We will spend our new year eve together, while i still have to follow this praying tradition which held during the moment of changing year. At midnight we gather at this small restaurant named "kusuma" own by french guy who actually married his Javanese wife. they opened a private room for us, and served all their best foods. it wasn't that bad, the place was so homey.

next day, i supposed to return back to jakarta. but i decided to spend another day here, stay with my friends and visited borobudur. It has been a while since the last time i came here. But unfortunately shit happen, i drop and broke my camera in borobudur. DAMN!!!

On the following day, early in the morning , i finally took a long way road back home, together with my family.

my long weekend @ solo

setelah kebaktian jumat agung, gue berangkat ke solo. kenapa ke sana? ga usah di tanya. nemenin dewi yang bingung di tinggal pacar karena pergi sama mantannya. alesan yang ga penting yak. anyway..pesawat Garuda takes us to solo sore hari pukul 16.00. dan tiba 50 menit kemudian. bandaranya baru. masih bersih. toiletnya juga masih bersih. kecil tidak terlalu crowded, tapi lumayan bagus.

solo..kota kecil. cenderung sepi. mostly tempat makan udah tutup jam10an. paling malem, yaa jam 1. sempet ke musro-nya sana, tapi beda heheheh. ga seperti musro di jakarta. heheh. but its okay. i still have fun. coba nasi liwet lesean. makanannya..mmm yaaa bgitu porsinya kecil, pake ati2-an, ampela dan sejenisnya..dan gue ga suka. lalu ngopi2 di..lupa nama tempatnya apa. kaya tempat tongkrongan gitu..isinya banyak ABG..trz satu lagi ada tempat ngopi2 juga..lupa juga namanya apa, tapi kalau disini bedanya yang dateng agak lebih dewasa sedikit. tetep...jam 1 kurang udah last order.

nyempetin juga jalan2 ke jogja, cuman beli bakpia. ga ada yang berbeda dari terakhir kali gue ke sana. terus karena gue suka banget sama yang berbau pantai dan laut, kita ke pantai baron. gue pikir tempatnya sepi, ternyata rame..waktu itu ada rombongan anak sekolah. dan bodohnya..kita sampai disana jam11..panazzz. pantainya bagus. yaa walopun bukan jenis pantai yang elo bisa berenang, mengingat ombaknya gede banget waktu itu. view-nya juga ok.

karena panazznya ampun2..kita ga lama2..tadinya mau ke pantai2 yang lain deket situ. tapi...keburu laper.

hari minggu pagi, back to jakarta, naik kereta pagi jam8. gue harus sampe sore. mau ngabisin waktu sama om dan tante gue sebelum mereka balik ke london. mmm....apa gue ikut mereka lagi yak...hehehhehe!! mauuuuuuuuu. senang juga bisa bernafas di bawah langit yang berbeda. melepaskan diri sejenak dari ibu kota jakarta dan orang2 yang selalu pengen exsist!! hihi.

well...see you in the next trip..another jalan-jalan to come..hihihihi

Yogyakarta

Setelah kami sampai kembali di pelabuhan tanjung mas..kita kemudian langsung ke tempat bis yang menuju ke Yogya, namanya joglo Semar. Tempatnya ga jauh dari station, dan novotel..hihii. anywei..kita mengambil bis yang untungnya ada additional bus yang berangkat jam 6.30 padahal kita uda booking buat berangkat yang jam 8. perjalanan dari ke yogya dari semarang hanya memakan waktu sekitar 4 jam. Kita pun sampai pukul 10 malam dan di turunkan di depan hotel..mmm…apa ya lupa. Secara kita ga tau mau berhenti dimana…jadi kita minta berhenti yang banyak taksinya lah.

Lalu kita minta untuk di antar ke hotel Indrakila. Hotel ini sebenernya adalah rumah eyang gue yang sudah di beli oleh adenya dan semua semuanyaaa..dari mulai pengurusan sampe tetek bengek lainnya sudah di ambil alih sama adenya itu. Sampe2 gw nginep disitu uda bener2 kya tamu dari luar aja gitu loch. Kya bukan sodar..igh malez. And..yes..still have to pay even though I get 25% discount.

Yogya..bukan untuk pertama kali..i’ve been here couple of times..apalagi dulu waktu masih kecil. Gw agak ga suka sbenernya dengan kota ini lama2..kata temen gw..meningatkan pada film perempuan punya cerita heheh..dan itu bener banget. Kita sewa becak untuk pergi muter2. pertama ke taman sari. Tapi ke sananya pake puter2 dulu…karena abang becaknya rada2 bego..disangkanya kita nyari alamat rumah..sampe bener2 kita tegesin baru dech!! Capeee yaaa.
Udah gitu..abis dari situ kita mau ke malioboro…eh malah dibawa ke tempat kaos dagadu..whatttt..!! ga ada yg minta !!! yaa..orang jawa..hihihi..(gw juga sih..walopun separo) kalo ga ditegesin..pelanca pelence..hihihihi

Kalau mau foto prewed disini kena charge 100 ribu..hehe..not bad. Kalau ada yg mau..dari pada foto di kawah putih..kan rada basiiiiiiii.

Awalnya seh pas ngerencanain ke karimun kita ga berniat sama sekali untuk kesini. Tapi mengingat kok jalan2nya sebentar banget, dan mubasir, jadi yaa kita kesini lah jadinya, sekalian beli oleh2 di malioboro, beli bakpia, beli batik, oleh2 buat yg di Jakarta..hahahah. yaa jadi bener2 kya buat basiannya doank…ehhehe..tapi gapapa.

Kita juga sempet ke prambanan dan kali urang. Yaa secara uda ga tau mau kmana lagi. (fotonya belum di upload..nanti yaa)

Satu hari sebelum lebaran, kita mengakhiri perjalanan kami. Kami pulang naik kereta menuju Jakarta. Keretanya malem..dan kali ini kita tidak terlambat, malah ada orang yg ketinggalan kereta. Pas dia dateng lari2..eh jalan deh keretanya…hehehe

dadaaaaaa bye bye..

Selesai

What a pleasant journey I have..!!! thanku guyz...
