Yogayakarta / Jogjakarta Adventure

This time round let's travel with me to Yogayakarta or you may know as Jogjakarta in Indonesia.
Is my first time traveling to Yogayakarta, why this time round I choose to go Yogayakarta? Is all because of my partner, is like a birthday trip for both of us and I let him choose where he want to go as he mention before he want to climb Mount Merapi and that's how we ended up decided to travel to Yogayakarta.

I will touch up on my experience climbing Mount Merapi but for now let me share with you on other thing that I have done during the time I was there.

Basically, when I arrived is already noon time and we both are hungry. But we decided to take a taxi and head to our hotel and check in first.

From the picture above you will know that I will be going to stay in this hotel Grand Zuri / Yogyakarta for the next few days of my trip. Their service is nice and staff is super friendly and helpful, room wise is simple, cozy yet clean.

While doing our check in at the reception counter at the side they have welcome drink for the guest. I like their tea is super nice there's ginger taste in it but not to strong.

This is how the room look like simple yet cozy.
After checking in and settled down we head out straight a way for late lunch. So we decided to just walk down the street from our hotel to the tourist area Malioboro because we're staying quite near is about 20 to 25 minutes walk ( If I didn't remember wrongly). During afternoon there's nothing much to see or shop for because most of the stalls only open during evening time and they sell lot of craft items if you're a person that like craft or something different you might like it but is not really a shopping paradise.
There's a shopping mall and that's where you can find food court and most people will go during lunch. So our first meal in Yogayakarta is at the shopping mall food court.

This is how the food court look like although you might think that is nothing different from our food court over here but the only different thing is that the food court is not crowded you can always easily find seats.
After taking lunch we just walk around the mall and after that head back to the hotel and rest as we need lots of rest for this trip. Why do we need lot of rest for this trip ? You will find out soon by just continue reading my blog.
So stay tune and continue to read ok  !
