I was invited for a trip to Solo last days. Then yesterday morning, we went to Solo by Prambanan Express. It was not my first time going to Solo by train. It was crowded by people so that we didn't get any seat. Yeah, it was weekend so I didn't wonder about it.
After we discussed about places we're going to go and what transportation we're going to use, and after Made and Dhea bargained with the rent car driver, finally we decided to go to Pasar Klewer for the first destination. Huff... you can imagine that a car type Espass which actually can load less than 8 people was filled by 11 people with big-sized people like Fey, Bey, Sony, and Radit... (peace guys!)
First destination : Pasar Klewer
Pasar Klewer is a traditional market which especially sells all about batik. I thought it was not too early to come but I don't know why there were many shops which were still closed. It's different with Pasar Beringharjo in Jogja which would be crowded at the same time. We just walked around the market but neither me nor my friends bought something. This place could be recommended for bargain hunters, hehe...
Second destination : Keraton Solo

Second destination : Keraton Solo
Keraton Solo is a palace where the Empire of Solo Mangkunegaran lived in. The place is located some meters from Pasar klewer so we only required a walk. After being confused about where the main entrance of this place is, we finally got it and enjoy the museum of Keraton. There were many interesting objects here like Sumur Sanga which is a well where Pakubuwono IX usually does the ritual asceticism above it. People who believed said that the water have benedictions for life. Besides the well, an object which interested me was tge large yard inside of Keraton. We must wear shoes or put our sandals off if we want to come in. It showed that we had to be polite in this area. This place was so cool. Many trees made the yard leafy and we felt peaceful in it. The ground was fine-grained so it was really comfortable to step on without any foot wear.
Third destination : Galabo
Yeah, after we walked around enjoying a part of Keraton, we finally felt hungry. We decided to have lunch in galabo which is located near from Keraton and we only need a walk for some meters. Galabo is a food center where people can taste all kinds of food along the road. There would be more various foods at night. For lunch, I chose to eat Lontong Opor and Es Teller. I thought it was good menu in the afternoon when the heat of sun was in high level, ough... the taste was quite delicious and I had to pay Rp. 10.000,- for it. Mmmm, I think it was more than enough to refresh me...
Last destination : Solo Grand Mall (SGM)
After having lunch, we were confused about how we go to SGM. then the owner of that eating-place suggested us to go there by bus and it would be more comfortable and cheaper than by becak. Finally, we went there by bus and fortunately we got a bus with AC, hehe...
Solo Grand Mall is like an ordinary mall. We just walked around and looked for good things. Made and Dhea had found what their want then they bought it, but neither me. I couldn't find anything which interested me, but once I found a slipper with beautiful model but the price was 'wow'... I had to think thousands times to buy it now. I loved it because the slipper was suitable for my foot and made my foot look more beautiful, hehe... Maybe next time I'll buy it... Then we went to a photobox to take our picture. After waiting for quite long time because of the queue, it's our turn to express our narcissism!!! Ough... the box was very small so it seems like over-loaded. I could remember how crazy inside...
