Hmm..pretty nIcE

Yeah, that's the two simple words that could describe how the 5 days-trip was. :D It took about 7 hours to Semarang from Surabaya.. I figured out that sitting in the car too long was quite boring oso, but I was still enjoying it coz I was still have a chat with mom n dad n sis. :P Telling a joke, comments on surroundings that time..:P In Semarang, we stayed for one night at Ciputra Hotels. The ambience was good there.. and I was wondering, why so many tourists there.. I think it's becoz those days was already considered as a holiday season. :P In Semarang, we went to the most beautiful and romantic place there. The name's Gombel. From up there we can see the whole Semarang city. So beautiful, the scenery of Semarang at night from up above was... very2 fantastic and really2 unforgettable. :P

The next day, we left Semarang and our next destination city was Magelang. Before that, we went to 'Candi Songo' and Jumprit. Woahhhhhh... Candi Songo is located in the slope of a mountain. That was so damn nice. At Candi Songo. We (except my mom) took a ride on a horse visited all the 9 temples there (but two had broken so left only 7 temples there). The scenery was super beautifulll and the air was super fresh oso... (I'll upload the photos later :D)

My father took a lot of photos of the temples there oso. After that, we went to Jumprit. Pretty nice place oso, situated inside a forest in the slope of mountain. Woahhh.. that day was really2 niceeee. I tell u a fact that I feel very2 comfortable in the mountain.. Bcoz I like the nature there.. so quite and so calm.. :D We continued our journey to Magelang City, where we had planned to stay in for one night. We first looked after the Hotel named 'TRIO HOTEL'. The hotel wasn't good enuf to be stayed for.. So we decided to look for another Hotel. We found 'WISATA HOTEL' but this hotel was even worse than TRIO.. Finally we found a HOTEL (actually a resort) named PURI ASRI. We thought that this hotels was better than the 2 hotels b4.. So we decided to stay there for one night. The surroundings of the Hotel was very2 exciting. I had just realized that in the morning, with a view of some mountains and forest in a distance, that place was very2 fantastic..

That day, we went to Sendang Sono and 'gardu pandang'. Sendang Sono is a place to worship Saint Mary. So we spent our time there to pray to Saint Mary (Rosario Prayers). We oso took the water from there that is believed as a holy water of Saint Mary. We had our lunch at 'Moroseneng' restaurant, where we got a lot of information about our next destination for d next day, Ganjuran. We also know about 'gardu pandang', a place where we can take a look at Merapi Mountain a far. However, there, the fog had already came down, so we just could see the silhouette of Merapi Mountain from a far >.< style="font-weight: bold;">Yogyakarta.There, we stayed at Melia Purosani Hotel.. Hmmm..quite nice oso. We planned to stay there for 3 days. That night, we went out to Malioboro mall, sady it was a lil too late and the mall was almost closed... >.< style="font-weight: bold;">Borobudur temple, Pawon temple, and Mendut temple. This is my second time go to these historical places. The weather was quite hot that day.. my skin felt like burning..:P Next, we planned to go to Ganjuran, but sun was going to set very soon.. It means that we didn't have much time to go there.. so we decided to go back to the Hotel.

The next day, we went to Parangtritis Beach, Samas Beach, and Ganjuran :D The beach was very2 fantastic! in particular was the wave ! hahaha.. so peaceful there... the blue blue sky with a little sheer white cloud there made me feels very2 peaceful and calm.. We went to Queen of The South Hotels and viewing the scenery from there. I was laying under the coconut tree, staring at the blue sky with the wind blew so gently... So nice leeehh...:P After about an hour there, we left the Hotel and went to Ganjuran. Ganjuran is a place to worship Jesus as our God. Many2 places is built for worshiping Saint Mary, but this place is to worship Jesus. Actually the name is Ganjuran Temple, becoz there is a temple there, with a statue of Jesus in Javanese style (the statue was looked like a Javanese king) inside. We spent the time to pray inside the temple and took the water beside the temple (again). :)

After finishing everything, we went back to the beach but this time to Samas Beach. On the way there, we went through the field and forest... The terrain was rough yet it was interesting.. Huahh.. after a while, finally we got there.. We stared at the beautiful sunsets there... Woaa.. So romantic leh!! :P The wave there was bigger and stronger than the wave at Parangtritis Beach, becoz I think the slope of the sea there is more steep. We left after the sun set and left the nice-orange rays in the sky.. The next day was our time to left Jogjakarta, but b4 that, we visited 'Keraton Jogjakarta' first. Take a look around at 'Museum Kereta', Sultan's house, Dagadu place, and water castle ..Huff.. damn hotttt that dayyyy.. ^_^;;;; We went home rightaway after that.. It took ard 9 hours from Jogja to Surabaya... Huehh.. quite tired oso in the car..Heheh.. but still, the trip was very2 fantastic!!! :P
