Year-end break in 2014 was the last holiday before the national exam. My friends and I chosed to take a vacation to DIY to refresh our minds.
We stayed in Sleman at house of my friend's auntie. The air was so fresh. There were rice fields along the road. We used the bicycle to go to some places near the house.
There was a river near the house. It was so clean and clear. We played there and took some photos.
We visited Gadjahmada University at night. Gadjahmada University (UGM) is number one national university in Indonesia.
We also went to Tugu Jogja (Jogja Monument). Tugu Jogja is on the middle of the intersection near Malioboro.
The best time to visit Tugu Jogja is in the night. The light from vehicles will make the view more beautiful. But remember, don't go to Tugu Jogja on Saturday Night. Too many people there and maybe there will be a traffic jam around.
Next day, we went to Prambanan Temple. Prambanan Temple is the most popular temple beside Borobudur Temple. It is said to be the most beautiful Hindo temple in the world. Prambanan Temple is also known as Roro Jonggrang Temple.
Without buying a ticket, you can still take photos in front of the gate and "WELCOME TO Prambanan Park" billboard.
So many tourists who visited Prambanan Temple. From Indonesia and international tourists. There were also students who visited Prambanan Temple as a study tour member from school.
Even when you already come out of the temple, you can still take photos with the temple background.
After Prambanan Temple, we went to Museum Benteng Vredeburg (Fort Vredeburg Museum). Unfortunately, the museum was closed. We did not know if it is closed every Monday. So, for you who want to see this museum, don't come on Monday. It is said to be the most authentic museum in DIY.
We could still take a wefie in front of the iconic gate.
The next day, we spent all of the day in Gunung Kidul Regency. Gunung Kidul means Kidul Mountain, but Gunung Kidul is filled with the beaches. Sooooo many beaches. We visited more than 5 beaches. But the most memorable for me are Indrayanti Beach and Kook Beach.
In Gunung Kidul, there were so many hermit crab sellers, glasses sellers, hat sellers, and of course street restaurants!
