Going Back to Semarang

It is Tuesday. We went back to Semarang. At 04:52 we left the big house to downtown to picked up fermented cassava. Nikmah was there bringing packs of the cassava. Then went to Mbak Poppy's house to pick her. She would go to Semarang along with us. We met Mas Didik to say goodbye. Nikmah came by to pass Nuri's writch watch left in the big house.

At 06:30 we stopped by at Utama Raya Resto for having breakfast. Though less hospitality the resto provided nice fried rice. We were here for about 45 minutes.

At 09:23 we stopped by at Tongas Asri Resto to buy some snacks. Nuri bought some bipang (sweet rice cracker). We would not pass Pasuruan Town where she usually bought. I used the time to enter the toilet.

We entered the toll road from Grati. Our e-money balance was Rp379.000. The toll tarif of Grati to Gempol/Porong was about Rp28.000. Then, at Porong - Waru we spent Rp3.500. At Waru we selected the wrong exit so we exited the toll road. It was difficult to enter again leading to Mojokerto. Too many ramps were attached on Waru Interchange. Finally, we entered the toll road again. The toll tariff from Waru to Bawen was Rp237.500. Finally from Bawen to Tembalang was Rp 20.500. When we exited our balance was Rp86.000. So the toll road totally Rp293.000.

During the trip in the toll road we stopped by at Rest Area Jombang Kilometerage 694 at 12:13. Nuri bought a cup of boiling water. We found that the rest area at Masaran was under construction. From Masaran to Boyolali area we found very heavy rain. We run slowly. We had late lunch at Banaran Cafe at 16:12. At 17:40 we arrived at home.
