The final examination was over, I just needed to wait for the result. My father took my family to Yogyakarta. When I heard it first time, I was so thrilled because it was the first time I went to Yogya. We went to Yogya on Friday and back to Jakarta on Sunday, but my father went to Yogya on Thursday because of his occupation. He had a meeting with his friends.

When the plane landed on Yogya’s airport, Adi Sucipto. I just couldn’t wait to see this famous city. After we relaxed for a while, we went to the hotel. The hotel isn’t so big but comfortable. We wanted to take a rest till 4 p.m. Because my father was busy, my mother, my brother, and I hung around the mall nearby and back to the hotel. Finally, my father’s meeting was over about 8 p.m. and with my father, we went to Malioboro by the taxi. We had a dinner and bought nothing there. So, we decided to go back to the hotel and slept.

The second day was my favorite day. We went to Candi Borobudur, Candi Mendut, Candi Prambanan. Candi Borobudur is the biggest and included the seven wonders of the world, but now it isn’t seven wonders of the world again. There are many thousand sculptures. My first impression is “amazing!” We took some pictures and then went to Candi Mendut soon because we didn’t have much time. Candi mendut is the smallest than Borobudur and Prambanan. In the center of Candi Mendut, there is statue of the cow. It scared me. After that, we had a lunch and went to Candi Prambanan. Candi Prambanan was in maintenance because of the earthquake in May 2006. The tour took very long time because of the distances between Borobudur and Prambanan. We arrived at the hotel at 6 p.m. we took a bath and had a dinner. Next, we went to Malioboro to buy some stuffs for my family and my friends. Then, we just explored around the shops and back to the hotel.

The third day, we went to Parangtritis beach, Depok beach, Keraton, and Malioboro again. In Parangtritis and Depok beach, my brother and I played water. We were so excited. Fortunately, my brother and I brought another clothes. So, we didn’t have to wear the wet clothes. After that, we went to Keraton. Keraton is the house or castle of the king and his family. But now Keraton is not lived by the king. Keraton is used just for the special events like the election of the new king or the wedding party. We took some pictures there and had a lunch. Because we had much time, we went to Malioboro again. Actually, it was my mom’s desire. After bought many things, we went to the airport. We had to go back to Jakarta. I was so upset at that time. I didn’t wanna go back to Jakarta. Yogya is the peaceful city and out of the traffic jam. We arrived at Jakarta at 8 p.m.

These three days are the one of my unforgettable experiences because I don’t know when I could visit Yogyakarta again. I wish I can spend my holiday in there again. This is one of my photos :)
