 A DAY VISIT TO YOGYAKARTA
Last week, I went with my family to Yogyakarta, which is well-known throughout
Indonesia for its art and culture and has a famous museum. We woke up early in the morning.
My father prepared the car in the garage while mother was preparing food for breakfast and
some snacks for us. My sister and I packed some clothes. After everything was ready and we
had our breakfast, we left the house at six o'clock. My father drove the car. My mother sat
beside him. My sister and I sat in the back seats. It was about nine o’clock when we arrived at
Yogyakarta. First of all, we visited our uncle. We stayed there for an hour. Then we went to
Parangtritis beach. We got there at eleven o'clock. There were a lot of tourists because it was a
holiday. My parents watched us playing with sand in the beach. We did not swim and take a bath
since the waves were rough. Two hours later, after having lunch, we went on our picnic to the
museum and Malioboro shopping center. We spent 3 hours in each place. We drove back to
Semarang at 7 o'clock and arrived home at ten. We were tired but happy.
