Kledung Pass Hotel & Mount Sumbing > Parakan ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia

Today, I accompany my cousin with her boyfriend, to visit her boyfriend hometown, Parakan. Parakan located at Central Java, sub-disrict of Temanggung City, from Magelang it took approximately 1 hour if not traffic.

I've been here many times, but this is the first time I stay in Parakan. Some of my friends in University, also from Parakan.

You can see Mount Sumbing clearly from here. That's why the weather here, was colder than Magelang.

This evening, we visit Kledung Pass Hotel, which located between Mount Sumbing and Mount Sindoro. Kledung also a sub-district of Temanggung City.

Too bad, when we arrive there, it's cloudy, so we can't see the mount clearly. Here's some flower in Kledung Pass Hotel.

And while we were there, there's some cats that come and play in the garden behind the hotel.

No sunset today. So we decided to go home. While on the way home, the mount Sumbing was seen. So we stop by and took some picture.

The dinner menu for today was Fried Rice. It's delicious. And we also bought some Ronde. Drink Ronde in the cold weather, really comfortable.

Jakarta to Bandung by Cipaganti Shuttle > Indonesia

From Jakarta, Me and my cousin drop by Bandung for 1 night to shopping. We rode Cipaganti Shuttle from Jakarta to Bandung.
At Jakarta, we decided to rode the shuttle from:

MANGGA DUA SQUARE ( MG-2 )
Jl Gunung Sahari, Mangga Dua Square, Lt GF, Blok A No 241-242
Telp. 021 6231 3227

to

BANDUNG TRADE CENTER ( BTC )
Jl Dr. Djunjunan No 143-149

It cost IDR 90.000/person.

The rode was smoothly. It's raining when we are on the way.
But the driver seems not so kind enough. When he stop in the destination, we don't know where it is, so we ask him. But he didn't answer us, and just smoking. How rude of him. We are a little disappointed, because we are not local people. He should telling us, where is it, because our destination is BTC, and we didn't see any BTC building in there.

Fortunately, we are near. So we rode taxi to our hotel.

Arrived at Yogyakarta then go home < 2013 August 15 (2) > (Bangkok - Ayutthaya - Kuala Lumpur)

It took 2 hour and a half from Kuala Lumpur to Yogyakarta. But because the difference time, Yogyakarta time was earlier 1 hour from Kuala Lumpur.

Once we arrive at Yogyakarta Adisucipto International Airport, we pass the imigration which took almost 1 hour becase the long queue. Then we took our baggage which already ready at the claim baggage area.

Mom and Dad pick up us, then we go eat dinner at Ayam Goreng Suharti. This is the legendary restaurant, which special of fried chicken ala Indonesia. It's delicious, and never get bored of it.

It located at JL Laksda Adisucipto 208, Yogyakarta, 55221, Indonesia, phone: +62274-515522.

The chicken is so soft and crispy. Sometimes, the taste was really delicious, but sometimes it tasteless. I don't know why, but it can happened. When there's so many people eat there, you may have to be patient for waiting because the serve was not too good. The price was a little expensive. But it's worth with the taste.

After eating dinner, we go back home to Magelang. Time to back to work again. Goodbye Holiday...
Here's some gift from Bangkok, dried fruit... So delicious.

This is not too delicious for me, because I didn't like Tom Yum too much.

There's Durian Taste too, but because I don't like Durian, so I didn't buy it.
