Have you ever felt so lucky like when u want something so bad and suddenly it comes to you right away? I have! So i was staying at my friend's boarding house in Solo for a week cos i desperately want to explore some places before i went home, then long story short, suddenly one of my friends, Ika, who came from Pare asked me if my friend and I wanna join her to Magelang cos she'd be accompanying her bf for a project and she was afraid that she might be bored since she was alone. She told us by the afternoon, and at the night she picked us up already. So it was totally 100 percent unprepared. Haha!
We had no idea where will we be going at the time. After took 3 hours journey from Solo, we finally reached Phuntuk Setumbu Borobudur by 3:00 am. It was still very early we then decided to have breakfast first. While sitting around a food stall, we were enjoyed telling jokes with the old man who lived there.
The gate was opened an hour later. We just followed Ika's bf who brought cool cameras even drone everywhere. I was wowed and entertained by what he did cos it's the first time i saw those kind of stuffs, hahaha. He made a kind of time-lapse video, focusing and zooming out Borobudur Temple from Phuntuk Setumbu, which was quite far, but he got a full frame of it. His camera was unbelievably awesome. Hahahaha.
see that small spot that's highlighted? It's Borobudur Temple!
me beside the-unbelievable-camera i was talking about haha
All of us had been amused by the sunrise and everyone else started to take bunch of selfies. Most of the visitors are foreigners, i could hear Spanish, Mandarin, even French babbling around (i assume they were amazed by Indonesia) i wish i had guts to start the conversation with them directly. They looked nice, tho.
It took a while to record the video, once it finished we were strolling around Borobudur and demolished another breakfast that morning. He he he. Time was kicking fast as i realised it was almost afternoon already when we were off to Borobudur Temple. Well, i've been there before, i'd just sit with Pepi down the trees, that's what my thought said. Ika's bf and his friend had a lil bit discussion with the guard before we're gone inside (they didn't know that it's not allowed to fly a drone over the Borobudur Temple) so they were going back to the car, and we, the girls went in first.
Yogyakarta seriously has the hottest weather ever. I couldn't help but hide down the trees. I wasn't too excited to walk around that noon, i literally just sat down for like umm.. 2 hours, maybe? i was freaked out that i might get sunburn. hahaha. We, the-girls just patiently waited for Ika's bf and his friend came back.
That wasn't it all. I thought we would be going back to Solo after that, but as we got onto the car, Ika's bf said we'll be going to Kukup Beach to test his drone since they couldn't shot anything in Borobudur. So we did what the master said. hahaha
We didn't do much on the beach, Ika and her boyfriend were playing, Pepi was busy with her phone, and i was just walking around alone to take some pictures.
That wasn't the first time i visited Yogyakarta but the place is still the same, it hasn't even changed a bit. It's still beautiful, and still be the most romantic city i've ever been to. All the bad memories i had had just faded away and i'm grateful for that. So yeah, that was my unplanned trip to Yogyakarta. I''l definitely go there again sometime!
See ya around!
Love, D x
