TRIP TO JOGJA First day, Friday 27 March 2009

I wake up at 04.30 am, take shower at 5 am, at 6 am we go to Station Gubeng at Surabaya. Destination : Jogja. We take a train trip to Jogja by Sancaka Pagi (morning) the departure is at 7.00 am and the arrival is 12.30 pm at Statiun Tugu, Jogjakarta.

Why do we take a train trip? because it's cheap. In the holiday season business class price Rp 80.000 ($ 6), in regular season it's only Rp 55.000 ($ 4.5). And we can enjoy the scenery more than take a plane trip (if you're in a hurry) if you're not, I suggest take the train! In the morning because, the air is still fresh, clean and when you arrive you can still do everything, maybe find hotels, rent a car or motorcycle or just take a walk on Malioboro street..

FYI : there are 2 kinds of Sancaka train, Sancaka Pagi (morning) and Sancaka Sore (afternoon). The Sancaka sore departure's at 16.00 and arrive at 21.30.

• Make sure that your cellphone is fully-charged and put it along with your wallet on the place that is easly to look at. My dad's cellphone is left behind on the top of washing machine while is being charged.
• Vehicle fee (at the station), motorcycle :Rp 1000, car : Rp 1500-2000 (?), if your vehicle have to overstay, motorcycle : Rp 5000/day, car : ???, maybe some of you know...
