Going to Surakarta

In the morning I woke up in time to do my dawn prayer. After that I slept again. I bougth nasi pecel nganjuk for my breakfast. I then when to Bima Sakti Warehouse to wash our Avanza. I met Mrs Indah Sulistyawati in this place. She was washing her car, too. The cost was Rp25.000. It was considered cheap. Before mid day I went to the office to take documents.

I and Nuri left home at 14.00. We went to Jalan Pandanaran to find a hotel voucher but there was no travel agent sell it. Then we went to Karangayu to KH Tour. From the agent we got a Sunan Hotel voucher for this night. It costed Rp475.000 (about US$52). We then went to Mbak Al to take Nuri’s dress. At the end we were at SPBU Gajahmungkur for fueling. At 14.45 we left Semarang for Solo. Solo is the nickname of Surakarta.

On the way we stopped by Om Tan stand to buy bakpia, mete nut and, peanut in glued coconut sugar. About maghrib time we checked in Sunan Hotel, Solo. This hotel formerly was the Quality Hotel. After bathing we came to Mbak Mar stand at Jalan Gajahmada for having dinner. We had nice food here. We then went to Balai PSDA Bengawan Solo to drop 2 boxes of documents I brought when I was out from the office. I met Supriyanto and Wiwoho. When we were in the hotel again the time was 21.30. The hotel did not serve internet in the room. So, I could not update my blog.
