Java Trip Pt 2

This is the continuity of my last post...but it took me over 2 months to write it...hahaha...

okay, back to the title...the last post was that we took a rest after day 1 of Java Trip...

Day 2:

- woke up early in the morning *well, this is more like I was the one who couldn't sleep because of this disorder I have (hard to sleep in a new place)*...since I'd woke up and adek also had, I decided it's time to disturb boyfee beauty sleep..hihi..and turned out he also couldn't sleep well the entire night, because he didn't bring any short with him..so he'd to sleep with his jeans on...

- had to take quick shower since everybody had been waiting for us...hahaha...even worse, his sister rang our room and showed up in front of our door with her baby...OMG...shame on you, Put * I hadn't shower or anything..in fact, I was just woke up when his sister went to our room*

- quick breakfast, since we had to start moving early...we checked out from the hotel, I think around 10am...and again, we went with different cars (my fams and his fams) because we were going to different places...from the hotel, we went to the Keraton (where the King of Jogja, Hamengku Buwono has been living for quite some time)...one thing that I admire from all the workers there...they are very humble and respect to their King, which is something rare that you could find nowadays...

- I think, it took us quite sometime wandering around the Keraton..well, forgotten to tell that we didn't come to Keraton by car because they said it's too hard to find a parking space, but we took Beca..mito *mama* and pito *papa* was in a separate Beca because it was already too crowded..and adek, boyfee and I were in separate Beca...we had to get back to the car and we took Delman *a wooden car pulled by horse*..poor that horse cos he had to pull the car with the 7 of us *pito = 2, mito = 1.5, me = 1.5, adek = 1, boyfee = 1*..and even worse, the horse was pregnant...be strong there horsie..

- it was already lunch time when we were done with our lil adventure in Keraton..so, it was the time for us to move to our next destination, which was Solo ..still part of Central of Java..but categorized as different province than Jogja and Semarang..

- we stopped at Ayam Goreng Suherti for lunch..nothing that special about the food...it was just fried chicken with some kremes..the only thing that I like was the kremes...the sambal was also not that great *or maybe it was just my crazy tounge ya? hmm..*

- it took us 2.5 hours from Jogja to Solo..it was really tiring just sitting inside the car and not moved at all..shouldn't complain tho...boyfee had to go thru something worse than me...he'd stay awake because the driver was really slordig..

- arrived in Solo pretty late and we went straight to check in to Hotel Sahid Solo...for me, there's nothing special about this hotel, since everything is pretty standard for a three star hotel...since we'd arrived pretty late in the hotel, we decided to take some rest...after magrib, we went out for the dinner...

- sorry to tell, but I forgotten the name of the restaurant...but we went to the city centre of Solo that evening...the atmosphere of the restaurant was very very romantic...I even whispered to boyfee, if only it was only the two of us there and we were on our honeymoon trip...hmmmm...couldn't imagine...hahaha...

- went to the hotel pretty late, and I wasn't feeling well that night, so I went to bed quite early while boyfee watched football (it was during the World Cup Season)...adek and I woke up in the morning, took a shower, and all of us (my fams and his fams) had breakfast together...not so long after that, we had to pack again and checked out from the hotel agaiiiinnn...yes, again...for our next trip...

- my judgement: the food was okay, nothing special...and overall of the restaurant, hotel restaurant and in Solo was average..
