Because I cannot go home today so I wake up late. Usually I woke up at 05.00 now at 07.00.
Today's destination : The Sultan's Palace (Keraton Jogjakarta)
It's the place where the Sultan and his family live for centuries until now. The location is divided into three places.
First place is right in front of "alun-alun". It is the terrace for welcoming the guests, meeting people of Jogja, and also for speech. There is museum of clothes that used by Sultan's army, families, people, and officials before.
Second place is the center of Palace. All the daily activities, administration and Sultan's house are here. In this place there are many museums: Sultan's clothes, his favorite things like cameras, family paintings, souvenirs and gifts from other countries, his office desk, some texts, his toys when he was a kid, pictures and also the room storage of "gamelan".
- If you come on Sunday, every 11 am there will be held the traditional dancing
Third place is Taman Sari. It is a bathing place for Sultan's wife and daughters. It's too bad I don't have enough time to visit it, maybe next time when I come to Jogja again..
- The ticket is very cheap and included a guide, it's very good..
- All the three places are not too far, so I think it's better to walk rather than ride "becak".
- Between the first and second place there is Museum Kereta (Carriage Museum), it is more quiet all the carriage are antique, very old but very beautiful
