Holiday in Yogyakarta
9
On the first day, I visited Prambanan temple. In the
afternoon, I went to Keraton Jogjakarta to see its history. I
took a walk by bicycle there. On the next day, I went to
Malioboro to buy souvenirs. A lot of my friend asked me
to bring souvenirs for them. When I was satisfied for
shopping, I continued my holiday to Parangtritis beach. I
saw sunset there. The sunset was very beautiful.
At night, it was the time to go home.
