Land Trip

Few moment before holiday, i have ever imagined that I will unhappily spend my holiday at my house, staring the monitor while surfing internet for many hours, go to movie rental (i will do this happily), or just playing roller coaster tycoon at my notebook. I planned everything but as usual, my plan didn't go so well. God decided to give me another experience instead of giving me again my "beautiful plan" this holiday. I'm so happy and so grateful of this changing of plan.

After the last day at school my parents took me to a very great land trip to their home town in east java. This first trip was not very great since we always do this great trip every year. As usual, we went to middle java (of course by car) and stayed in a hotel there for a night. The next morning, after we had our breakfast, we continued our trip. We said hello to my uncle in his house at the middle of our trip. And after twelve-hours traveling, we finally arrived.

The next day before my cousins arrived, i went to a bookstore there and bought a "Naked Traveler" by Trinity. After that I went home, and met my cousins who were waiting for me. So, we (my cousins, my family, and I) spent few days there with playing video game together, feeling sad together after watching our national team of "Indonesia" was beaten by the Malaysian, watching some movies, and of course doing some culinary things.

I really enjoyed my time there, but even the trip must be have the ending (but i tell you this' not the end), we went home bringing my cousins who wanted to have their holiday in Jakarta. Eventhough I said "went home", actually our trip was just begun.

Our trip was started with a land trip on a long road that is surrounded by forest. While my cousins were sleeping tightly, I was very busy enjoying this very beautiful view (just for your information, i usually sleep when we pass it before). Our car passed so fast so the view was so great with the trees that looked walking. And it was also so great to see the road with a little sunshine and surrounded by the trees. Why? I don't know.

When we arrived at Magelang (somewhere near Jogja if you curious), we went to a famous and beautiful temple, Borobudur. I've been there for a few times but the experience there was still so "wow". My cousins and I were so excited so we explored every floor at the temple. Since it was a huge temple, i mean is still a huge temple we felt so tired because our breath was taken by the breathtaking view there. haha just kidding. But unfortunately, we couldn't go to some places of the temple because it was still on the reparation after the eruption of Gunung Merapi few weeks ago.

After staying at the hotel for a night, we continued our trip and had our lunch in a restaurant near the beach. So after eating, we went to the beach and enjoyed the view there. To be honest with you, the view was not so great because the sea was very brown. I don't know but I didn't see something beautiful there. But yeah I enjoyed it.

that's one of the statue of Borobudur Temple. Is anybody know where is his head??

And this is the picture that i took at the beach haha

So the point is there's no point haha. I mean, this is holiday! Just go out from your rutinity and enjoy your life. See the world out there. Not so hard thing to do, right?

Open your eyes and go traveling-Bima
