Day 1 @ Jogja - Candi Prambanan, Pantai Parangtritis, Alun-Alun, Nasi Gu deg Yu Djum. Malioboro, EDU Hostel

Hello readers ..

Sambungan kisah 'Girls Trip To Jogja' .. Read my 1st entry here. * After our lunch at Rumah Makan Sendang Ayu, we continued our Jogja's exploration. Our first destination is Candi Prambanan, one of the oldest and largest Hindu temple of Ancient Jawa.

We bought a package ticket for 2 'Candi' at USD32. This package allow you to enter both Candi - Prambanan and Borobudur and must be visited by the buyer in 2 continuous day.

The temple compound is very huge and we wander around the temples on foot but then the journey wasn't boring at all as we enjoyed the lush landscape and the detailed architecture of the temples. 

Adik-adik manis pandai posing di Jogja. Sangat berpuashati dapat melihat Candi Prambanan dari dekat sebab architecture nya sangat berseni dan lawa till I kept on telling myself .. Wow .. cantiknya batu-batu kat sini membuatkan kita lebih mensyukuri tiap ciptaan dan kurniaan Allah SWT  kepada bumi.

Cuaca agak panas tetapi itu bukanlah masalahnya kerana keterujaan kami mengatasi segala-galanya. Heyyy Its Jojga, anyway, city on the Indonesian Island of Java known for its traditional arts and cultural heritage. So mari kita enjoy walau cuaca agak panas 'meleting'

Therefore, do not forget to bring your own drink. Pocari is always my choice when I am in Indonesia. This Pocari is like 100 Plus lah .. isotonic drink.

Cantik, kan senibina dia. 

And that hot weather does not stop us to pose. Well .. anyway who want to miss the opportunity to take a shot at this great temple.

We spent a few hours here just to enjoy the beautiful architecture of the Prambanan Temple and this is our last shot before we say Goodbye to Prambanan.

Do not worry of getting hungry. Ada banyak kedai jual makanan dan cenderahati sekitar kawasan Prambanan ini yang mana pelayannya sangat ramah tamah .. dari jauh sudah melambai-lambai .. Yok Buk .. Makan Buk ... sekali Iqa keluar camera .. terus diam dan posing ala-ala model. Pandai diaorang, kan. Tehehehe.

Bring home some souvenirs from Jogja at Prambanan. Cheap!

Next destination was Pantai Parangtritis, the most popular beach among the local and tourists situated 27km from the Jogjakarta town. 


We went to Parangtritis Beach to watch the sunset unfortunately it was so cloudy so there was no sunset at all *frustrated*

You can explore the beach via the horse ride

And again .. A group pose!

Ramai yang mengatakan yang pantai ini cantik dan lawa tapi bagi Misz-ella tiada apa yang istimewa atau yang menarik di sini. Pantai di Malaysia lagi lawa. Pasir pantai sedikit kehitaman. Yang menyedihkan adalah kawasan persekitaran pantai agak kotor .. banyak anjing membuang air di pasir ini. I seriously think it is OK if you skip this beach on your trip.

But seriously I love this tree. So i asked Imal to pose for me. Ohhh ayunya Imal

Then we went to Gumuk Pasir for Sandboarding experience. Rented a sandboard at RP100,000 only unfortunately it was rain. So money was refunded to us and we had to say GoodBye to this experience. Harus ke sini lagi kah? Hehehe.

We went to Alun-Alun Kidul at night. Alun Alun Kidul kalau di Malaysia is similar to Dataran Merdeka where people came here with family and 'kesayangan' for some bonding time. This place are so happening at night where the local and tourists came here to have some fun. Well ... lets see whether we have fun here.

Wootss .. We rented this special Trishaw which fitted 8 of us. Kena kayuh pedal tu pelan-pelan ye dan awas .. sila peka dan prihatin dengan lalulintas or else you will end up langgar moto macam i. LOL! Buat malu jer .. sumpah tak nak kayuh lagi. Tukar driver please. Hehe.

Haha dah tukar driver. Driver dua orang ni lebih berhemah dan peka .. berhati-hati dia orang kayuh .. bukan macam I .. excited terlebih. Hehehe.

Kami bayar 40,000 Rupiah untuk satu pusingan. Kata dia kalau nak dua pusingan perlu bayar 60,000 Rupiah sahaja tapi kitorang dah berpeluh-peluh mengayuh .. udah-udah la tu .. Jom kita balik. Anyway, we had fun at Alun-Alun. So much fun!

Dinner was Nasi Gu deg Yu Djum, a local Jogja rice.

Nasi dan Daging Sapi berserta Tempe. Simple je lauk diaorang, kan. Walaupun simple tetap berselera kami makan. Just one thing that I realised .. their food is a bit sweet.

We refuel the energy since we had an adrenaline rush just now and burnt tons of calories. Hahaha .. kayuh beca je pun .. macam kau baru lepas marathon yang beria sangat.

Then we went to Malioboro Street, a famous place in the city centre where we can get a lot of local stuffs, souvenirs at a very cheap price. Dont forget to bargain ya.

Then we checked in at EDU Hostel, Jogja which is centrally located in downtown Jogja.

Spacious lobby and fast checked in. The hostel come with Free Wifi but only at the lobby.

You can use the Hostel's desk top too *but I bring my own laptop*

We booked two rooms. Each room fit maximum up to 4 persons and has 2 bathroom. Clean, spacious and comfort. More info about EDU Hostel can be find here.

Our Day 1 in Jogja was well spent and look forward for our Day 2 exploration at Jogja which was more thrill and adventures. So readers .. do come again to check my second day entry. Thank You baca. Bye.
