Yogyakarta - pt i

Oh, everyone! Hi everyone! Happy Malaysia Day, everyone! I just... came back from Yogyakarta (FYI)! \^o^/

So, for the last few days (Sept 12th until 15th), I was in Jogja. A famous city in Java, Indonesia that is known for its traditional arts and cultural heritage. I went there with my uni-bish (Shud & Nad), and it was my first personal travel experience (I mean, not with my family, neither my company. Everything under my own expenses). Believe me or not, I've always wanted to go to Jogja since the first time I watched "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta", and I put it on the very top of my wishlist (which now has been marked as ✔️).

For those who've been asking for my itinerary, here you go!

Disclaimer;
  • Ned and I were roommates and we're working at the same place.
  • Shud is our friend and she's working at Cyberjaya.
  • We decided to get a tour guide package as this is our first travel experience.

First of all, Ned and I decided to take 3 days leave on Wed, Thu, Fri. We went to KL on Tue, depart from Penang by bus around 10:30 am. We arrived at TBS around 5:00 pm, and check in @ Hotel Mangga. I swear the hotel was so nice I gave 4.7 stars but the location (hmm) quite hard to get Grab / MyCar from there to go anywhere. We checked out on Wed morning, had some breakfast and depart from TBS to KLIA2 by JetBus around 11:00 am.

As soon as we arrived at KLIA2, we went to check in our luggage first so that we don't have to worry, yet think about it anymore. And then we just play around and waiting for Shud (she's coming from Cyberjaya) during that one and a half more hours before boarding time.

03:35 pm: Depart from KUL to JOG by Air Asia AK348
05:10 pm: Arrived Yogyakarta (4pm Indonesia Time)

~ Our sweet vacation starts now! ~

We had an awesome (and expensive) dinner @ Forest Kitchen & Gelato (but it's already paid by us in the package so we're actually impressed lol  \^o^/). Then, our driver sent us to the hotel, our tour guide help us check in @ Hotel Pesonna Malioboro, and we just call it a night since everyone already tired and we have to be energetic for tomorrow.
