Shopping

I woke up at 05.45. It was late to pray. After bathing I joined the group in the dining room. Hotel provided fried rice, chao mian, cracker, fried egg, bread, tea and coffee for our breakfast. At 07.30 we were ready to go shopping so we checked out. We shopped at Pasar Baru and Asofa Batik Cirebon.

Pasar baru was a 7 storey building at Jalan Oto Iskandardinata. It was mainly filled with apparel vendors. The basement was for a supermarket dan Bandung typical snack vendors while the six floor was for food court. Nuri bought some clothes while I waited for her at the six floor. At 11.30 we went to Ampera Resto at Jalan Sukarno Hatta for having lunch. I, Bena, etc came to a mosque close to the resto to join friday worshipping. Our lunch was rice, ground hot chilli pepper, raw vegetable, fried tofu, fried tempe, fried meat and vegetable sour soup.

At 13.30 we went to Cirebon. About 25 km before Cirebon the traffic was congested. We then tracked an alternative route. At 18.00 we entered Cirebon. We stopped at Asofa Batik to buy Cirebon styled batiks. At about 19.00 we were at an empal gentong stand to have dinner. Empal gentong was a cirebon styled meat curry. At 20.00 we left Cirebon. We stopped at Tegal to get rest and to pray.
