2008/12 - Indonesia, Yogjakartait's my 1st day in indon. well, it's been a long long time since i'm back in java? the last time i was here i was 3... n boy has it been an eye opener!
soekarno-hata airport in jakarta is really lovely and quaint. it looks more like a garden with pavillions than an airport. n it feels so retro 1980s! with tesselated smooth red brick pathways n all! it just feels so... indon? haha.
by the time we reached yogjakarta it was already almost 9 pm. we haven't really had dinner yet, n so after checking into our hotel, we went to jimbaran for dinner. like its bali namesake, the restaurants in this area serves good seafood dinner in padi fields with a rustic touch, complete with candle light and open pavillions. yup, dinner was delicious. n it came with 5 different types of chilli! n everything was just so spicy n hot i swear i'd get my worst intestinal rushing yet! haha.
we had a walk round the hotel after dinner n realised that the hotel's really very nice! we got soooo excited and happy just touring the compound and already started to take sooo many photos! haha. it's got so many lily ponds with pretty borodudor themed stone works strewn all over the place. n the swimming is absolutely fabulous! it snakes round the garden, opening into lagoons n ponds and crossed by bridges. it's b so much fun exploring it! n there r little gazebos where pple can have intimate private dinners in the garden!
to top off everything, our room's got a little nice balcony overlooking the garden! bleh. i could just stay in the room n rot! but o well. a busy day of touring beckons tmrw n the driver insists we start out day at 8 !
