Jogjakarta [06aug'10-08aug'10]

Day 1 - Pantai Parangtritis, Restoran Numani, Malioboro
Our first destination after arrival is Parangtritis. We booked a city tour before, so all the itineraries were arranged by them. Parangtritis is indeed beautiful, we managed to catch the sunset moment as well. We then having dinner at Restoran Numani and do night shopping at Malioboro.



Day 2 - Candi Borobudur, Ayam Goreng Suharti, Candi Prambanan, Malioboro, Restoran Mahkota
Today we gonna visit the famous Candi, used to be one of the 7 wonders in the world, Candi Borobudur. Waah, so nice I tell you. But, that day, damn hot sia. I can't stand it..

Borobudur, or Barabudur, is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument near MagelangCentral JavaIndonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.[1] A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.

We having lunch at Ayam Goreng Suharti, superlicious. yummy, and it's so famous. People talk a lot about this fried chicken. But a bit too oily. The next destination still Candi, which is Prambanan.. which one nicer? :) for me, Borobudur a lot nicer.

Prambanan is a ninth century Hindu temple compound in Central JavaIndonesia, dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Sustainer (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva).
The temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, and is one of the largest and the most beautiful Hindu temples in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the towering 47m high central building inside a large complex of individual temples.

During night time, we did our final shopping at Malioboro, I bought a lot of souvenirs. Everyone looked at me like OMG, you bought all this?? hahahaha.. I suggest you go Mirota batik, if you intend to buy souvenirs, more expensive than outside actually, but you don't need to bargain, and many kinds of souvenirs you can choose. We having dinner at Restoran Mahkota btw, and the servings very very slow.. don't go. LoL.

Day 3 - Museum Kareta Karaton, Dagadu, Keraton Jogjakarta, Taman Sari
Today's schedule was really arghhh, i didnt like all these places. Nothing we can see here. But one excited thing is that we learned how to make Batik at Luwe Putra, near Museum Kareta Karaton. We also visited Dagadu (khas jogja). :)

Bye Jogja.. :p
