Short Trip to Yogyakarta by Awalia Ariyanti

Last Friday, me and my family went to Yogyakarta. We went there because of my father’s college reunion. We arrived at 14.40 PM. Then we headed to eat Soto Kadipiro. The driver said that the first and famous Soto Kadipiro closed at 12 PM. So, we just went to another Soto Kadipiro. After that, we went to the hotel to check-in and rest. Our hotel is located in Malioboro. We didn’t do much on the first day. Late that night, while my father met up with his friends, we ate Sate Klatak. After that, we went to The House of Raminten, it’s really a cozy place. Then, we headed back to the hotel.

On the second day, i woke up because the sound of TV. Then, we headed out for breakfast. Later that day, me and my twin went to Goa Pindul, Gunung Kidul. My father can’t accompany me because of the reunion. There is no traffic jam and the trip only took 1 hour. After changing clothes, we waited for our names to be called to get the life vest. Not so long after our name get called, we headed to Goa Pindul by walking with 5 other visitors. On Goa Pindul, we have to sit on a tire that are being linked to another tire and the guide will push us. I can’t hear much about the information from the guide because it’s noisy inside. When it’s near the exit, me and my twin realized that our tires aren’t connected from the others. So we waited the others a long time on outside and there’s someone who asked us why we are alone and he’s laughing at us with his friends, so i just ignore them.
Then, we went back to Yogyakarta. Our next destination is Taman Sari. But, when we went there it’s already closed. Luckily, the driver know the way from the back and he even told the stories. So, we still can enjoy Taman Sari and the building near Taman Sari. Then, we went to Gudeg Mbarek Amad because we haven’t had lunch and the Malioboro Street’s closed due toa Festival .
After that, we went back to the hotel to clean up and rest. We only spent 1 hour on the hotel, then we headed outside. Our plan is to go to De Mata Trick Eye Museum, but it’s closed too, we actually went there at 8 PM when in the internet told us it close at 10 PM. Still feeling exhausted from today, my father decided to just buy Monalisa Burger, i always went here when in Yogyakarta. Then, we headed back to the hotel.

On the last day, my father woke me up at 7 AM. Like the other day, we headed out for breakfast. After checking out from the hotel, we went to the famous Soto Kadipiro.It’s still 9 AM and the place is already crowded.Then, we went to Gudeg Yu Djum, it’s a popular gudeg spot. There, we just bought the Gudeg for our families in Jakarta. Later, we headed to my father’s home when he’s in college. When in there, my father talked with the owner house for a long time. After we said goodbye to the family, we headed to Upside Down Museum. It’s a really unique museum because everything in there was placed Upside Down. We took a lot photos there. Then, we went to buy souvenirs. After packing the souvenirs, we headed to Airport. We arrived back to Jakarta at 15.30 PM.
