4 days in Yogjakarta-Solo
First Day:
I don't recall I slept that night. I remembered watching Travel and Living on the TV. It was showing the Rich and Famous People in Europe. I remembered about this Italian guy who invent "Geox". Matt bought a pair of that the other day in The Pavillion. He said that shoes are really good! and then I saw Richard Clayderman.. wow! but.. indeed he looks much older now. Anything after that I completely forgot.. not even how I ended up in bed. Must be around 1AM Ha ha... blur case.
I set alarm at 2.50AM because I need to get to KL Sentral by 4.30AM for the Skybus to catch my flight at 6.55AM.
I arrived Solo around 9:30AM I didn't expect such a "poor" airport which reminded me of Sibu airport 20 years ago.
From Solo Airport, I went directly to Yogjakarta City. That was a disaster because I never book any hotel in advance. It is also a Hari Raya in Indonesia. Everyone from Jakarta flood Yogja city. All the hotel rooms are fully booked. I practically went in and out of roughly 10 hotels before I found one with 2 rooms left! Although the price is high (Rsp 302,000) for a Guest House but I don't have choice because I don't want to end up sleeping on the street!
In evening, I hired a bechak (Rsp 20,000) to go to Malioboro Street. That is a very busy street in Yogja. Lots of people selling food, souveniors, cloths, batiks...
After walking on that street for one hour. I headed back to hotel to get some sleep which I lack off.
That's basically my first day.
