Yogya city, smiling faces every where!






Yogjakarta welcomed us with a smile!

We arrives at Yogjakarta airport at 12.30 pm. We didn't booked a room jet, so we called some places. But these were al fully booked. Then we asked around, caus the airposrt was full of locals, and we had a couple of options. The taksi driver who we had spoken to, offerd to drive us around till we found a place to stay. And so we did that. The first option was not ok. To expansive. The second option was 700.000 rupia (47 euro per kamer) caus Reni is a champ in bargening, (she just walks away and then they come after her) she got the family room for 400.000 rupia. So that was about 133.000 rupia each. That's around 9 euro. We realy needed a good night sleep and the beds were supersoft. So we went for this one, orderd roomservice caus we were starving. Then we took a good warm shower and when out n the streets.
We came across a small desk who did arranged tours and stuff. At the desk was sitting a small man, almost sleeping at his desk. His name was Muji and he had realy cheap combi tours. We booked the Bodubodur and Prambanan visit at his place. And the Bromo- Surabaya tour, what would cost us the same as the traintrip to Surabaya. But now we had transport in a minivan, one night in a hotel, trip to Bromo vulcane, transport to Surabaya. This was super cheap (300.000 rp/20 euro), so we made the deal for the 15th this week.
Then we went for some to eat and went back in the hotel. First time this vacation that i lay in my bed before 23.30 pm!! It was an amazing goodnight sleep.

Around 5 pm the cousin of Reni came to join us with our trip. He's gonna stay till 31 of july. I did not even got awake, i was realy in a coma.

Next morning i felt great. We went for breakfast and every thing looked amazing. I took mixt veggi's and a cold salade. I was so hungry, and after i sad this to Reni i took a bite in the salade. It realy tasted good, but then... after 5 seconds i felt an explosion in my mouth! Everywhere were seeds! I spit the food out in a napken. What the fuck was this?! My mouth realy stood on fire. I didn't knew what to do. Cold water, lots of it, was the only thing i could think of. It was realy terrible. I thought the small green things in the salade were green beans! But mo.. they were hot peppers, realy strong ones. And i had just bitten three peppers open in my mouth.. Realy felt helpless, Reni sad that there was nothing i could do about. So i just had to go true it. It was realy terrible. My eyes watered, could noy eat anymore and we had 16 minuts to go check out and leave hem.

The one thing what was realy good of yogjakarta is that the smiling faces. People overheen are relaly friendly. We enjoyed it here for so much, maybe at the and of the trip we are comming back.

So at 10 am the pickup bus arrived. We went to Prambanan first, after that the Bodubodur. There's not alot to say about these tempels. They just are... and also you realy feeling history you see that or climb them.

Now we are totaly broken and are going to sleep.
