Middle of Java

I'm not a traveller who likes to go here and there. I mean it depends on my mood. But on December 2013 I had a chance to go around in the middle of Java, and my mood was good. Let's go... watch me.... 

MAGELANG City

I visited Borobudur temple

Wow, this place is truly amazing

I love it!

A lot of people in the holiday season

Very crowded

A farmer got lost

And he bought the tickets

Psst....pssst....he is my second brother 

You are forbidden to enter the area without this

Rp 30.000,- per person

Don't bring the food, otherwise the police in the entrance

will be angry with you

Very clean area

No garbage 

Step by step to the top

The weather was very hot

The view is very beautiful

If you can't stand with the sunshine

You can rent the umbrella, or...

use the unique car to look the whole area

If you're tired, you can do the massage in the field

It seems very nice as I saw those people really enjoy it 

Walk again.... while we kept taking the pictures

We went down after felt exhausted and very thirsty

Just complete your satisfaction by buying many kind of stuffs
What do you want?
Toys, accesories, household objects, clothes, sandals,
shoes, bags, souvenirs, food, snacks, ice cream, drinks, etc...
everything are provided there,
and the price is cheap

And then, we drove our car to another location 
that took about 10 - 15 minutes
It is Mendut temple
What a beautiful inheritance!!!

SOLO City
We're very hungry and continued our culinary of course

First place, traditional duck restaurant
You can choose duck or chicken
They served it with raw vegetables, 
sambal bawang (onion sauce),
stink bean, and hot rice
I drank hot tea
Delicious!!!

My cousin was sweating as the sambal is very spicy

Second place, we're tired
We slept at Arini Hotel on Jalan Brigjen Slamet Riyadi
I recommended this hotel because it's clean, cheap,
and the service is good

When we woke-up in the morning,
our cars have been washed and the breakfast was good

Third place, Serabi Notosuman
Hhmmmm....
I could see the painting that talked about the history
I could enter the kitchen,
and ate it desirely :)))

  Fourth place, traditional market named Pasar Gede Hardjonagoro
Only three words about this place : clean, neat, and complete

Fried chicken
You must buy this, cheap and delicious 
It's free range chicken (ayam kampung)
They make the sambal also

Pecel Ndeso
It consists of rice brown, spinach, mung bean, kangkung (water spinach),
sambal (chili sauce), and special sauce which is using sesame 
Yummmmyyyy!!!

Dessert!!!
As my pictures were blur, so I copied from the internet

Ingredients of Dawet Telasih

Dawet Telasih in a bowl
Slurrrrppppp....

Anything about herbal for health

Fifth place, kampoong batik at Kauman area,
many boutiques along the street
We searched here and there
Finally we found one and bought some clothes

Oh, I had a chance also to see the process of making batik
It made me remember when I was in Senior High School
I could do that... ;-)

 

We stopped here
While other went shopping, the rest were waiting,
just like in our own house
Well, you can order the drinks
What a comfortable boutique!!!

To be continued... ;-)
