#wonderfulindonesia Jogja: Day 1

Oh yes finally! 

After googling the beautiful places and feeling jealous looking at photos posted by some friends, finally Jogja here I come! Add to more happiness, this time I went with one of my bestfriend. Yeaheyy!

“As with any journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination” INDEED.

We touched down Jogja at about 11am then went lunch at Pondok Bakaran. Their specialty is grilled fish and fried seafood. When we reached, they’re on a break for Friday prayer. Although we had to wait for almost an hour, we were truly satisfied because all the food we ordered were sooo yummeh.

Here's what we had:

with Mixed Vege soup and ulam.

After lunch, we went to Wisata Seribu Batu. It says this place has many form of rocks, but honestly I didn’t notice much when I was there. (Oh yeah, now I remember that one big rock). The significance things were the bridge with small stream underneath, the huts, the woody bear and the 2 hobbit house (well, its actually dwarfs I think).

If you wanna have some kind of activity, you may try the flying fox. Also, you can actually hike a bit more to the top - Puncak Songgo Langit where you can see an awesome scenery. I climbed up half way and tired and stopped. Anyway, didn’t see any sign of the place, might have to hike up higher.

For me, nothing much at this place but it’s definitely great for your photoshoot. And at least, we did enjoy the smell of the forest and had a very good fresh air.

Yeah that's a big rock.

For day 1, we spent for sightseeing. From Wisata Seribu Batu, we rode 600m away to Pinus Forest. This place is about 28km from Adisucipto Airport, another cool fresh air around the standing tall pine trees. And of course, its an Instagram worthy, or Flickr, Pinterest or whatever app you like, like I care 😝

From Pinus Forest Mangunan, we headed to Puncak Becici which the distance is about 3.5km only. When we reached there, time was almost 6pm and started to rain. We walked up to the hill and taraa! here’s the awesome view!!

It’s already 630pm in Jogja. 

The grey sky started pouring lightly so we had to leave although we enjoyed the cold and calmness. As it’s still raining, we had to cancel the plan to go to the last place, Hutan Pinus Pengger. So we went straight to have dinner at Sate Klatak, where the others enjoyed so much. 

Klatak is a lamb aka kambeng and I don't eat kambing. Pftt! I had a plate of nasi goreng for myself -__-

The juiciness of the klataks meat.
