Enjoy Jogja!

This holiday, me and 3 friends of mine went to Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We were so excited and had so much plans but sooo limited money to spend (lol). Consequently, we were backpacking and we tried to find out how to make our plans happened. And yeay there was yogyes.com, the site that provided us the whole things about Yogyakarta (include backpacking ways). So I'm gonna tell how much and how we did our plans.

1. Transportation by train (economy class)
Destination: Jatinegara to Lempuyangan - Rp 35.000
from Lempuyangan, you can ride intercity train to Stasiun Tugu for free.

2. We spent overnight at "Indonesia Hotel" located on Jalan Sosrowijayan along Malioboro.
Price: Rp 70.000/night for 2 persons. And extra charge Rp 20.000 for extra bed/night for 1 person. Well, I recommended that place not only for its price but also for the nice environment. Furthermore, the room actually quite clean and restful.




3. Hello Borobudur Temple!
Price: Rp 15.000 for domestic tourist and $ 10 for foreign.





4. Let's go beach bitches! Finally Pantai Sundak. So quite and clean. I just love it! Unfortunately, there was no access to reach Pantai Sundak unless by car (you can rent car for Rp 240.000/ 12 hours, include driver and gas).








5. Shop till drop at Malioboro and Pasar Beringharjo. Yes I did -drop. My feet were sooo numb. We were walking like maybe more than 4 kilometers while we were there. But no pain no gain, rite? Just a simple advice, don't hesitate to make a really good bid.


Make your own journey and let me know your Jogja experience ;)
