Liburan



I decided to take a week off and went to visit my Aunt in Surabaya. She runs an eating place called "Marica" in Waru-Sidoarjo, their special menu is fish, Gurami (Gurame) fish, whether it's fried or roasted (or is it grilled ?), mmmmmmmm yum yum ....




We took a train called "Bima", took 12 hours to get to Surabaya, stopped at Gubeng station. We arrived around 6 in the morning. After a brief rest, we all went to Batu - Malang, was great, the mountains and hills. Malang is well-known for their apples, green apples, taste sooooo sweeett..



On our way back, there was a traffic, so we stopped by at this hotel for a while, just to avoid the traffic. The hotel was old, was a Dutch remains. It's a five stories building, but only 3 stories are used (operated), rumor has it, the 4th and the 5th floors are haunted.




The next day, my uncle decided to take us to Bali, for only a day. Was a long exhausted trip. But it was worth it, unfortunately, when we got there, it was the Galungan day, so most of the shops are closed, no Angkot around as well, although we managed to get one, he said he is a Moslem, so he didnt take a day off on Galungan day. Went to Tanah Lot and Kuta beach, did some shopping then went back to Surabaya in the evening. Loved every moment of it.




We also went to see this old Indonesian submarine monument (Monumen Kapal Selam), too bad there was no one around to guide, to explained us about the ship. But it was cool, I got to know what's inside the submarine.
