Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog :)
How’s everybody going? I hope y’all good. I haven’t post anything
yet on this blog since last month or even more. I was going on a long holiday
on my semester break. It was really fun. Now I want to share my last holiday
experience to you.
I went with my family using a car all along our holiday. It was
kind of road trip. We started from Bandung on June 25th to our first stop, Cirebon. We stayed
in Swiss-Belhotel Cirebon. After checked-in for our room, we went out to Trusmi
Batik Village. There were a lot of batik stores selling nice and unique batiks.
We bought some batik fabric, blouse, scarfs, and shirts. We ate seafood for our
dinner. Then we headed back to our hotel and had some rest. At midnight, we all
got up except my brother, and smacked him with pillows. He woke up with shock
and stared at all of us for a few seconds and then laughed out loud. Yes, it
was June 26th, my brother’s birthday. After gave him a ton of happy
birthday wishes, we went back to sleep.
The next morning, we woke up and had our breakfast. Then we packed
our stuffs and checked out from the hotel. Cirebon was pretty hot that day. We
continued our road trip to Semarang, Central Java. At one point there was
traffic jam, and we were stuck there for like 4 hours. Thanks to anyone who
invented Waze, we could get out of that crazy traffic. We were up to Semarang
at 6 p.m., and due to at that time most of the people were break fasting, the
city were pretty full yet beautiful because of the buildings and vehicle
lights. We went into a mall to eat, wee, and do other things for a while. Then
we continued again to Salatiga, and stayed for a night there. Salatiga was a
nice city, with cold weather like Bandung. We slept peacefully that night.
The warmth of sunlight woke me up that morning. Oh, I just
realized there were big windows in my room. I didn’t realize it before because
the night before was dark and you cannot literally see anything. I had my
breakfast and also checked my phone. The signal was very rare and always low
and to find a good signal, it really wasted my battery percentage. So most of
the time, I put my phone on airplane mode. That time the Wi-Fi was very strong,
so I didn’t waste that chance HEHE. After we packed our stuffs, we continued
again to Yogyakarta, our main destination. We stayed at Tentrem Hotel, and I
swore it was the best hotel I’ve ever stayed on my entire life so far. It has
such a big swimming pool, Chinese restaurant, and traditional restaurant,
western and also European restaurant. There were also gym, sauna, Jacuzzi,
whirlpool, and board games including billiard. We were really happy to be
there. Despite the heat, Yogyakarta was a nice city with amazing culture,
amusing city sights, and friendly people. We visited so many places there,
including the old Keraton palace. We also looked around the city to find some
batik. At night, we mostly stayed in hotel to play and have some rest.
Whirlpool or sauna sounds great after you had a really tiring day. So we went
downstairs and enjoy the moment.
4 days and 3 nights in Yogyakarta weren’t feeling that long.
Although we still wanted to stay, we had to go to the next city, Purwokerto,
because my grandparents have already had waiting for our arrival. So we headed
to Purwokerto from Yogyakarta. The time needed for us to reach the city was
about 4 or 5 hours. We brought so many souvenirs from Yogyakarta, like
t-shirts, bakpia, and other things. We arrived in Purwokerto at 8 p.m., and so
we took a bath and had a rest.
We didn’t do much in Purwokerto. Only gathered with my family
there and city sight-seeing was felt really fun. We stayed in my grandparents’
house for 3 nights. We went home to Bandung after 9 days we had our road trip.
This trip was really fun!
But unfortunately school will start a week straight after my
homecoming. So I stay at home and prepare for my new school year. I still
wanted to be on holiday. 30 days straight of holiday feels only like 14 days.
But I also missed my friends. I cannot wait to meet them and share my story to
them. So I went back to school.
That was my holiday story. I hope you enjoy
reading it. :)
