Leaving on a Jet Plane (Part II)

Well, here i am again, Soekarno Hatta Airport, Cengkareng. Approximately 2 hours from now i'll be on my flight that'll bring me back to Palembang and he's as usual, with newspaper on his hand and because i don't have anything to read, writing then i am. I've been so friendly with airports for this month. Within two weeks , i've been here at Soekarno-Hatta for three times, Adi Sucipto twice, Ngurah Rai twice, H.A.S Hannadjoedin twice.



Never been as often before. What? Honeymoon? Let me think it first.....

Yeah, let say it's a honeymoon because it's a trip right after we' re getting married and that's honeymoon supposed to be. But, it's not a common honeymoon. You know, traveling with those romantic stuff in it. I'd love to call it an adventure, just married adventure.



First destination was Jogjakarta. Actually, Jogja was unintended. We had to go to jJgja because there an airport is. My husband origin is from Sragen, 2 hours from Jogja and to reach Jogja we have to go by train. We planed to go at 15.00 because our plane boarding at 21.00 and i wanted to spend some times looking around Malioboro. But, unfortunately the Madiun express AC schedule was only at 07.00 and 17.00. And there's only the economy one. And then i had an idea, "why don't we take the eco train". He was looking at me in hesitation and he was about : "for me, it's OK. But bringing you in eco?". Then i said, "it's OK, I've been in economy from Madiun to Jakarta. And i sleep tightly during the trip."



Finally, we took it. And the fact, the train was so crowded that there was no seat left. Even it was hard to move my body. Luckily, some people stopped at Solo Jebres leaving a single seat, and i was free from standing. But still, he had to stand because only one seat left. Hot, crowded and sweaty. Perfect. But still, i was happy and enjoyed it. As long as with him :-p.



Next destination was Bali. There was only one flight to Bali from Jogja. At 20.50 WIB and arrived at 22.50 WITA. Lucky us, my friend have booked us a room and transfer in to a hotel (makasih, Yanti ^^) and the next day my brother, his wife and his two children arrived, and we had a family holiday then :-D. We checked out from the hotel and with another friend of mine help (makasih, Elok^^) we had a car rent and driver and transferred to another hotel in front of Kuta Beach . And there we went, to Tanjung Benoa and Uluwatu. But then, we found out that Bali equals Jakarta in traffic jam, and it's not flexible exploring it by car. So, we decided to rent a motorbike (of course it's cheaper! :-D). And the adventure began. And in this two wheels vehicle, we've been through the sun and the rain. From Bedugul to Tanah Lot, from Sanur to GWK and Dream Land, from Nusa Dua to Jimbaran. Ah, maybe it's strange but believe it or not, that was my dream honeymoon :-D.



And finally, Belitung. I don 't know it should be Belitung or Belitong, but I prefer to call it Belitung. This land of Laskar Pelangi was our final destination. We went to 3 beautiful beaches, one of them is Tanjung Tinggi where sang Pemimpi and Laskar Pelangi filming located. Actually, we planned to go to Manggar, Gantung. A place which suddenly become famous because of Andrea Hirata's. But, we ran out of rented car. There's a program entitled "sail wakatobi-belitung" which makes all rented car full booked. But, it's OK. I'll definitely come back to this land..
