My impromptu end-of-year trip to Solo-Jogja

Dec 26, 2008
I and a friend went to Bandung around 5 pm. We would meet other two friends there and would leave for Solo by Lodaya the next morning. We arrived in Bandung around 8 pm and directly headed for 'Kopi Ireng' to have dinner. I ordered cheese omelet and hot cappucino. Hmmm... yummuy....
After dinner we left for our hotel to have a rest. We preferred staying in a hotel to our friends' home since the hotel was near to the train station. It was a small hotel but clean... and cheap =)

While waiting for other friends, we had breakfast. It was a plate of fried rice with a sunny-side-up egg plus sweet hot tea. We (four of us) left for the train station by Taxi. Our train was scheduled at 9 sharp.
Since this was an impromptu trip and the moment is end of year holiday, you can guess that we couldn't get the executive class. You were right. But business class was fine. It was full AC... Angin Cepoi-cepoi... heheeeee....
It took us more than 8 hours to get to Solo Balapan train station.... wheuw!!!... quite hot during the day, but.... we managed to make it fun. Don't you believe it?



it was quite hot, but I managed to take my own picture...
heheeee.... narsis jalan terus =)







guess what they were talking about...

gossips?... No.. they were talking about
LINGUISTICS AND LITTERATURE.... =)
panas2 gene topiknya boooo....

We arrived at Solo Balapan around 5.15 pm. We went to the hotel by taxi. It was cheap... only 10.500 rups. It was a small hotel. Though not really recommended, the hotel was... well... okay. At least we were lucky that we still got rooms to stay since other nice hotels were already fully booked until new year.

First thing we do in Solo was.... having dinner =) We asked a becal driver on a nice place to try local food. He recommended Galebo. The place was full of people having the same purpose as ours. We ordered wedang ronde, sekoteng, and sop buntut goreng (well, this one is actually not a local food, heheeee)
