Journey to Wonosobo - Adventure at Dieng

Day two, 27 January 2016

The plan was going to Dieng. Previously, I was worried about who will drive the car to the Dieng. Yona can drive but still green I think. Moreover, It was in very early morning. Yona's Dad said that if we want to enjoy the scenery, we must go at 3 am. It means that we only have a little time to sleep. Yes it's about 2-3 hours we slept. In fact, not yona that drove the car but Yona's Dad did(very thankful for him). Not only the road was dark but also had many sharp turns. I couldn't imagine if Yona's father didn't help LOL. Around 4 am we arrived then we started to climb the hill. Actually the hill wasn't too high, but we got tired because we rarely do some exercise ._. Though it's hard, finally we reached the top. It was really cold at the top. However the scenery was so magnificent. These are some pictures of us.

Then at 8 am we went down. I felt stomachache -_- Fortunately, I found the toilet on time :") Oke then we went to another place called Kawah Sikidang. Actually, I've visited that place when I was in the first grade of senior high school. There's not so different with the crater but the atmosphere was totally different. It was very quiet because there were only 7 of us. Fyi, we can boil the egg in there.

Next we continued the journey to the candi *****(unfortunately I forget the name -_- ) The candi wasn't huge overall. However, the most interesting part is the ground that filled with soft grass. So we made kind of action pictures with my camera like punching or kicking scene.

Finally, we went to telaga(also forget what its name). You can see in my photos, I think it dominated by algae which has green color. Also, we had a chance to stroll the lake by little canoe(paid by yona's father :") ) 

After we had a Lunch, we went to yona's house directly. Arrived there, we had a durian party, but I didn't eat any.... actually I don't like durian, only eat it when I eat es durian LOL. Like the previous day, around 3-6 pm was raining....

In addition, Yona has two cats at his house. It was so cute and its fur was very soft LOL. 

Journey to Wonosobo - Inside and Outside Yona's House

26th January, arround 8 am I woke up. Still felt so tired because of 12 hours journey on the bus. The agenda for that day were relax our body at yona's house, enjoy the culinary and go to the city hall.

Actually, we were too tired(read: lazy) to go outside in early morning, so we watched movie first. There were many old movie since yona subscribed Indihome. I don't remember what the title of movie that we watched, but it told the story about ghost who killed a group of adult. Then around 10, we started to go outside Yona's House. Yona drove the car. In fact, he didn't have driving licence LOL. Fortunately, the road wasn't so crowded and usually one way. So at first we had a breakfast, or should I called it lunch?

The first culinary we eat is something like soto ayam. It tasted delicious, but I really forget what it called. After had a breakfast, we went to the city hall that located near to the restaurant. The hall was large and had many nice spot to take a picture. Feel envy that my city(Read : Depok) doesn't have any city hall.... 

Around 11.30 am,  we still at city hall. We found some interesting spot such us Wonosobo Asri Park, Hasri Ainun Habibie Park. Then I used my smartphone to take some selfie photos.

Actually, when we stroll around at the city hall, I wore short pants, not a jeans. I thought it's uncomfortable if I wore jeans. The problem came out when I wanted to Pray Zuhur-Jamak-Ashar. The mosque didn't provide sarung....  fortunately I found a woman who wore sarung, so I waited her while my friends were praying. Luckily, she lent me hers LOL. Thanks to her. So the point is don't forget to bring sarung if you only wear short pants. After that, we saw library named ARPUSDA. Felt curious, we went there and took some selfie photos.

After that we returned to Yona's House. We had a rest and watched the movie because it was raining from 3 pm until 5 pm. You know, Yona's family were very nice to us. All of our need is served by them. For example, they not only served snacks but also breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

Journey to Wonosobo - When the plan not only a "wacana"

Assalamualaikum wr wb

In this post I'd like to share my experience during 5th semester holiday. The first thing before I start to write my story, I want to tell you all why I use English in this Post. Actually, I study English at LBI, located at FIB UI(Fakultas Ilmu Budaya). In fact, I take IELTS course. IELTS consists of 4 parts. Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.  Actually, We can practice listening by listen to the music and watching movie(note:without subtitle). Then for Reading, We usually practice it by reading a textbook, reading an article, even playing a game. Next for Speaking, maybe you only need some friends to have a conversation with you in order to become more confident. Finally, for Writing, I'm afraid that Writing section is the most difficult among other section. I find it difficult to have a good writing in Bahasa, moreover in English. To enhance my writing skill, my teacher advised me to practice by writing a post in blog using English. I'd like to apologize if I use incorrect grammar or difficult word. Hope you all enjoy :)

Actually, we already talked about the plan to wonosobo in previous semester. However, many of us (read: winner members) couldn't go because of many reasons. So I decided to make some simple rules. One of them is "If someone have a plan or something, We will execute it at least 4 people". First, Ipang and I had a conversation about holiday. Out of blue, We had an idea to visit Yona's house at Wonosobo. In the following day, I asked others to join us. Finally, only 5 people that want and able to have a journey to Wonosobo. These people are ipang, poci, fahmi, teguh and of course me. 

25th January in the morning, Poci went to bus agent then came to my house around 11 am. After had a lunch, We went to Universitas Indonesia. First, poci took me off to LBI. I registered for TOEFL ITP Test (hope can get above 550). Then I went to FTUI to make letter for Internship while poci was waiting fahmi in his kosan. Arround 3 pm, we went to bus shelter located not far from ITC. As I remembered, the bus departed at 4.30 pm(it should be at 4 pm but as always "ngaret"). Then this is the first picture that I took using my new smartphone LOL.

At 8 pm we had a dinner in rest area km 19 CMIIW. Then we continued the journey to wonosobo. My friends started to sleep when I watched TV Series-Arrow in my Phone. I've prepared it on my phone so I wouldn't feel bored if my friends were sleep. You know, people said that it took about 13-14 hours to arrive at Wonosobo. Fortunately, we arrived at 3 am. One hour earlier than we expected. Then we sent message Yona, told him that we have arrived. Arround 3.30 am, Yona came  and made us feel amazed because he drove a car by himself. Then we went toward Yona's home. Something that always remembered by me is what Poci said in the Car. "Waah ini di Wonosobo yaa". Perhaps until the last day of the journey, he have already said it more than 50 times LOL. At  4 am we arrived and welcomed by Yona's family( I will describe it later). As usual, we took picture. Then we prayed first before we had a rest in Yona's house.

Although it took long hours, I feel enjoy because of my friends. A Quote from unknown said that "It doesn't matter where you go for travel, but with whom you go".
