And the adventure began…
DAY 1 – August 16, 2008
We must admit that we were looking forward of these days, although the children had to sacrifice the Independence Day celebration in our children’s school. Hope the school could understand this.
We went off to the Airport Sukarno-Hatta, again, in hurry like last time to Bali. My husband decided to take his car to the airport and parked it in there. It means, he had to find the parking area and of course it took more time to wait…..
Children and I had to check in first. This time, I excuse the two people who broke the queuing lines to keep extending the time until my husband arrived. Just in time, I passed over the ticket from the exit door to enable him enter in the room. Phheeiuuhh…5 minutes to boarding.
The Lion Air postponed the departure time about 25 minutes. We met my husband’s colleagues and their family there. Finally, we went aboard and off we go for Yogyakarta’s adventure.
When we arrived in Adi Sucipto Airport, a hotel driver has been there to pick us up. It took only 20 minutes until we arrived in Melia Purosani. The hotel looked so busy and we had to wait for our room til it ready. So we decided to went walking and found a recommended satay restaurant about 500m away from the hotel.
While we were there, I called mba Othie and Pak Halim to come to the hotel to pick up their stuff. Well, 30 minutes before Welcoming Meeting started. Nice to have meeting with them although only in a very short time.
Don’t you think that you could lay down and relax after that! The committee has arranged a program for us to spend that evening.
First, We had our dinner in Arirang Restaurant. It was supposed to be a Korean Resaturant but the food were Indonesian ones. The owner is Korean and one of family member was really nice and kind in welcoming the restaurant visitors. There were also playground for children with bikes, slides, hula hup rattan ring. So most of the children spent to play in there until a calling that we had to get on the bus again.
The bus took us to see Ramayana Ballet Show near Prambanan Temple.

DAY 2 – August 17, 2008
Sambi Ledok
A nature place for outbound in Kaliurang area. They have trained staff for adults and children. Before we started, Off The Job Traning should be carried out for mums and children.
Off the Job Safety Training:
Thank you pa i mean Pak Billy so from now on we really have to be carefull with the danger stuff at home and of course...seat belt to be put on ALL THE TIME!!!
Outbond Games
Children then joined so many outdoor activities there such as fishes catching, cow milk squeezing and rice planting. They also enjoyed playing in the river...
Borobudur Temple
As we had been to this place before, we prefer to save our energy by taking first steps going up and rest...
DAY 3 – August 18, 2008
The day was the last day for mums and children in Yogyakarta. Some of us had to fly back to Jakarta via Yogyakarta, and some of us via Solo. We decided just to relax at the hotel room, watching tv and pack up our stuff. While I’ve heard others were going to Malioboro and Mirota.
After having lunch together, a car has picked up us to take us to Solo. Our husbands waved us goodbye, as they had to stay and continue their meeting there.
We wish them every success…
[so that we could go somewhere else in the future!! ;-)]
Thank you DuPont!!
