Jogjakarta & Solo Trip

(28 May - 1 June 2008)

Hubby and I joined the BNM Puspanita Kijang group, for a journey to Jogjakarta dan Surakarta.

Jogjakarta and Surakarta weren’t just any destinations. They had always been on my travel list - Places that evoked images of ancient temples, shadow puppets, and timeless Javanese grace. When I finally set foot in this cultural heart of Indonesia, I felt an instant connection. There was something deeply soulful about the city - the way the morning mist lingered over the rice fields, the calm faces of the locals, and the gentle rhythm of life that seemed untouched by time. My days here were filled with wonder, from exploring centuries-old temples to wandering through lively markets where tradition and creativity meet.

It was an experience that quietly spoke to the heart.
