Going Surveying

It is Tuesday. The Loving Tuesday (Anggara Kasih 11). I and other IPPU caretakers went to Kabupaten Semarang area to get places for touring destinations. At 6:45 Nuri dropped me at Masrianto's house on Jalan Ksatrian Jatingaleh. There were Wismaningsih, Mustofa, Wahyu Kusno, Arus Horizon, and Octavira waiting for the team members. A moment later Bambang Pudjo and Harsono arrived so the team of 9 people completed.

At 7:10 we departed to survey. We entered the toll road at Jatingaleh Gate and exited at Ungaran Gate. At 7:34 we arrived at Pinusia Park at Kalianyar, Kalirejo, Ungaran Timur, Regency of Semarang, This park was a cadindate of the tour destination. We then went to Gudeg Merak Mati Resto at Harjosari Bawen, Regency of Semarang. We arrived there at 8:20 and had to wait for about 10minutes the begining of the service. It was rainy. We were there for about 20minutes tasting the dish they provided, gudeg dish. At 9:15 we arrived at Train Museum at Panjang Ambarawa, Regency of Semarang. The entrance ticket was Rp25.000 per person. The museum was not crowded since it was workday. We were there for about 30minutes to see the old styled train operation and to make pictures of us.

We left the museum leading to Kopeng. We took a village road to get there. It took long time and risked our safety. The scenary was quite good. At 11:20 we arrived at Pasar Wisata Kopeng in Kopeng Getasan, Regency of Semarang. The pasar was empty, only a few vendors in service. We were just sightseeing and having coffee in a vendor. About 30minutes later we left the place and went for having lunch. At 12:40 we arrived at Omah La Tareombo Coffee & Kitchen in Gondangsari Pakis, Regency of Magelang. We were there for about 45minutes to have lunch and pay our prayers. The resto served good dishes and beverages.

We then realised that we run out the time. so we changed our destination from Magelang to Boyolali. We traced the tourist road Pakis - Ketep - Selo - Cepogo. We spent more than an hour to get Cepogo Cheese Park in Genting Cepogo REgency of Boyolali. We arrived there at 15:00. It was a cow milk farm based park. The atmosphere smelled of milk. We did not enter the park just to see the entering building. A shop was there selling dairy products. At about 15:20 we left the park. We entered the toll at Boyolali Gate. At 17:20 we arrived at Masrianto's house and then dismissed. A Gojek car brought me home. At about 5:45 I arrived at home.
