on the previous post, i said i’ll write about my vacation. Well, actually my vacation was on June 1st (went to Solo) until June 3th, on June 4th i went back to Jakarta.
Delanggu ( June1st,2011 – 6.30pm)
Okay, i arrived in Solo at 5pm, compared to Jakarta, 5pm in Solo is just like 6pm in Jakarta and 6pm is just like 7pm. Yep, it’s dark faster than Jakarta and Solo is not crowded like Jakarta though.
I arrived, then went to my aunt-in-law ‘s home. She lives in Solo in Delanggu area. Delanggu is about 45 minutes by cab from Solo Balapan (Train Station in Solo-city centre). Delanggu is a village in Klaten, no malls, no entertainment. There are only 2 Banks, Drugstore, and some small restaurants. The house. The house is an old big house, grey tiles, white walls, a very light yelow doors, surrounding with big trees, and thanks God it’s full of lights, so not too creepy then. Hehehhe. ooh Delanggu is very calm, anyway. My aunty here is about 65 years old and lives alone. Her parents died, so she lives at her parents home until now.
Okay back to me, after arrived at home, my sist, my two aunty and i went to Padang restaurant for dinner. Yes, Padang restaurant, because it was all i can see which near to the house, and we were hungry!. So, we ate Padang food. The funny thing when you ate Padang Food here, the “sambal” is not “hot” at all! Yes, i can see lots of big chillies on the “sambal” but for me who like to eat “sambal”, it taste not too hot, more like sweet.
So, after dinner we went back to home, took shower and then slept because tomorrow morning, we will go to Yogya. Delanggu to Yogya is about 1 hour 15 minutes. Btw, it was a bit hard to sleep at 9pm, because i usually sleep at 11 or 12am.

In the morning, woke up at 5am, took shower and had breakfast. Well, because of i was in Solo, so the breakfast was special for me, it was Nasi Liwet, a traditional food from Solo. It is rice that served with chicken curry, an egg, and vegetable. The rice cooked with santan, so the taste is tasty. It was a good start to start that day.
At 7.15am, the cab already came, and ready to took us to Yogya at my other aunty again. Hahhaa yes, i have so many aunty, so do not confuse. My aunty here who lives in Yogya, i came to her house and wait for the car which i booked the day before. The car was a Baleno, i have to pay IDR 450.000/day include driver and gas. The driver is my sister in law’s friend,named Phito. My sister in law is from Yogya, she lived in Yogya but now lives in Jakarta. Pitho lives in Yogya and he knows all the things about Yogya,especially the way to reach tourist attractions in Yogya. He has travel transportation company,anyway.
Our plans for the 2nd day on vacation was Borobudur temple, Mount Merapi, and Baron and Krakal beach.
Borobudur Temple
It was about 9.30am, our first destination was Borobudur temple. It took an hour from Sriti (yogya-my aunt home) to Borobudur (in magelang). Well, actually i’ve ever came here when i was 17 with my high school friends, but my sister haven’t been there, so yeah we went there for my sister!. Sounds i don’t too like Borobudur temple yes?, well that’s quite right. I just don’t like about the heat on the top of Borobudur. Really it beats me!. Yeah, even it wasn’t a problem for me cause i used sun screen.
Well, actually there’s a new rule at Borobudur Temple ( at least i just know it), you must wore sarong before you come in to the temple. It wasn’t like it (6 years ago), when i went with my high school friends 6 years ago, i didn’t have to wear sarong. But now, i must wear it. It reminds me of Uluwatu,Bali. When i went to Uluwatu, Bali. I had to wear sarong because i wore short, but if you wear trouser you don’t need to wear sarong, only the tie.
Oh ya, there was a funny story at Borobudur. It’s about my sister. She was very excited to “climb” Borobudur temple. She followed me to "climb". The sight from the top of Borobudur temple was so fantastic, i love it so much!. We took some pictures there and saw around the temple. So, when we already felt satisfied at the Borobudur temple, we intend to go back to the car and continue the trip. To go back to parking lot, means we have to go down stairs which the ladders are high. My sister was so afraid to went down because she's afraid of heights. she almost did not want to go down because of her fear. However, I am forced her to went down by herself, because at that time, there were so many people who went down stairs as well (it was impossible to go against the flow *hahahha good reason isn't it? :p *). My sister's face was so pale caused by her fear of heights. I said to her "hold the handle, there's a handle on your left side. You'll be okay!." I actually thought to go back upstairs to help her if within 2 minutes she has not gone down yet. But, finally she went down by holding the handle. Fiiuuhh ... Yeay! Good for you, sist!.
