Hari pahlawan di Kota Pahlawan, Surabaya!

Business trip kali ini cukup menarik buat saya. Setelah menghabiskan akhir pekan di Bali, minggu pagi saya kembali ke Surabaya. Surabaya terkenal dengan kota pahlawan karena insiden 10 november 1945 yang merupakan pertempuran pertama setelah Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia. Karena insiden tersebut, setiap tanggal 10 November diperingati sebagai hari pahlawan.

After two days full of travel around Bali, the third day we spend almost a whole day in hotel. Did so much fun swimming, then next plan is goes to Pandawa beach located in Uluwatu for hunting the sunset.

Again, I am not gonna used too much word to describe how much I love watching sunset. Here some others “merekam senja” moment in Pandawa.

Weekend Gateway in Bali, Day 2 Padang-padang Beach Uluwatu

Padang-padang Beach

The second’s day destination is Padang-padang beach in Uluwatu. From Kuta, the placed that we stay is less than one hour to get there. Then, we start the journey on the morning. For me my self, all of the beach in Bali that I ever visited is all have a good view. Padang-padang beach placed under the cliff. We have to walk down the stairs to get there. It is such a good time to come there in the weekday, especially in the morning. There will be not too much people in there at the time.

Weekend Gateway in Bali, Day 1 Monkey Forest and Magical Sunset

The good thing of being impulsive is you wouldn’t know what other surprise that you made in your live at the short time. This is happens to me. Still during the business trip period I made one minute decision that will give me so much fun later. It begins when I was on business trip in Jember. I got one week to finish my work, luckily I finished it about 3 days so I got 4 days free until another Monday. Then I made a plan to travel for the rest four day. Bali, it is my destination at that time. It just comes up my mind after my friend who’s also on business trip in Bali asked me to come. Then, I asked my client to get me the bus ticket to Bali.

I got the bus ticket at 7pm, it cost me Rp. 170.000,- include 1 portion meal for dinner, quite cheap. Actually I was little bit scare, because I travel alone at the night using bus, and the time estimation is about 8-9 hours. It will be a long time trip. At 7 pm pick me up to hotel. From Jember to Bali the route is through Banyuwangi, it is about 4 hours from Jember.  Arrived at Pelabuhan Ketapang about 12 pm. Then we used Feri to Pelabuhan Gilimanuk (Bali), it is about one hour sail but i still had long way to go from Gilimanuk to Denpasar. About 5am (Bali Time) I arrived in Denpasar. After short nap at hotel then me and 4 of my friend (Xenia, Dekil, Bg Dona and Kak Ana) start the journey from the morning.

Seminggu di Balikpapan – Part 2

Berlanjut dari postingan sebelumnya, sabtu – minggu yang saya habiskan untuk jalan-jalan di Balikpapan, tidak membuat saya langsung puas. Di sela-sela hari kerja sayapun meminta klien saya untuk mengunjungi beberapa tempat lagi yang masih sempat di kunjungi saat istirahat makan siang.
