The Journey to Solo
Hello
guys.
This
is my story when I visited Solo.
Solo
is one of our goals to holiday after national exam. I went to Solo with four my
friends. They name are Kuswa, Rifka, Widiw, and Teja.
We
went to Solo by train. This is my first time rode the train. We went to
Lempuyangan station arround 8 a.m. There we bought five tickets of Sriwedari’s
train. The price was cheap, just Rp 13.000 / tickets.
We
arrived at Solo’s Balapan station arround 10 a.m. Out of the station you will
be treated tourist transportations. But you must remember, its not free ! OK
fix. We walked to Surakarta’s Kraton.
A
few step out of station, we don’t know where will go ?? we used Google Maps App,
but we still confused the way to go there. Finally decided to rode the pedicab. We payed Rp 20.000 to
Surakarta’s Kraton. It takes 20 minutes to reached there.
To
enter Surakarta’s Kraton we must payed Rp 10.000 / person. What was inside the
palace ? The was not different from Yogyakarta’s Kraton. We can saw Golden chariot,
Pendopo,pictures of Surakarta's King and others. If you enter Kraton region, you must removed your footwear if you wore slippers, but if you
wore shoes you should not removed it.
The
next destination was Pasar Klewer. One
of the famous place in Solo. Out of Surakarta’s Kraton, rains flushed.
I brought an umberella but my friend didn't. We sheltered in out Kraton.
Arround one hour we sheltered then we continued our jurney. We walked to Pasar Klewer. Until there we just
rounded in there, because sometime ago Pasar
Klewer was burned. We just take a picture in arround it. We not shopped
because our money it not enough.
The
next destination is food stalls, because we hungried. Usually we ate chicken
noodle and meat ball, one of our favorite food. As long as we ate, we can saw
train arrounded city. “Solo. The spirit of Java” written in railway coach
train, it's icon of Solo.
To go home, we planned to rode bus to go Solo's Balapan station. We asked police “Can
I ride by bus for went to station ?” He answered “No, you can’t. You can ride
by bus but you will reach Purwosari station. You can ride train there.”
“OK.
Thankyou”. Fixed we walked to go to Solo Balapan station. In our journey we can
took a lot of pictures on our way. We arrived Solo Balapan
station about an hour.
We went
to Lempuyangan station by Prameks train (Prambanan Ekspress) just Rp 8.000 for each person. We arrived at Lempuyangan station at 6 p.m.
This
is my trip to Solo.
Thankyou for reading. ^^
