Going to Balikpapan

It is Sunday. The Yellow-7 Sunday-5 (Ahad Pon 12). In the morning at 09:00 Nuri's childhood friends left the house for Surakarta. On awaiting leaving I had socialization with them.

We checked out at about 09:30 and went to the Klothok Resto in Kaliurang area, about 30 minutes to the north. The customers were so many. We had to be in a line. Our turn came after 10 minutes. Traditional Magelang styled dishes were available such us nasi megana, sayur lodeh, sayur kol, fried tempe. They were tasty.

On the way back to Jogja we stopped by at the Hamzah Batik counter in Kaliurang. I bought a piece of batik for the Wika celebration in Balikpapan.

We came to Rahutama's boarding house for having rest. He packed his stuff for his accompanying Nuri going back to Semarang. Then, we accompanied him to put his bike at a parking room in Jombor Bus Station.

Rahutama and Nuri dropped me at the Terminal A the Adisutjipto Airport of Jogja at 14:00. In fact, my operator Sriwijaya Air is at the Terminal B. I had to catch a shuttle car to bring me to the Terminal B. I checked in the Sriwijaya Air flight SJ230. I asked a a window behind seat but I got the isle one, 33C. After being in the waiting room for about 10 minutes I boarded. At 15:10 the Boeing 737-800NG brought me to Balikpapan. At 17:40 local time I landed at the Sultan Ali Airport of Balikpapan.

Following the direction of Prio, I ordered a taxi to the guesthouse, a house in the Balikpapan Residence Block WA4. The fare was Rp70.000. About 20 minutes later I arrived at the place. I occupied a room not completed yet but I overcame it.
