My Memorable Trip in Malang

Hello guys!!
Welcome back to my blog, this time I will tell you about my memorable trip. Yeahhhhhh

I am a person who likes to go somewhere, whether I have visited or not. And I am one of those people who cannot stay at home because I get bored easily.

Let's start the story!!!

One day in September, my friends and I planned to go out of town to refresh. And the city that we agree to is Malang. There are only two choices for us, take the train or ride a motorcycle. Here we negotiate again to determine it after we agree, we finally use a motorcycle. Besides being able to save money, we can also enjoy the views up close. And as usual, my motorcycle will be used for this trip, the reason I often use it to accompany me traveling. Yes, you could say my motorcycle is a strong motorcycle.

After that, we determine the day, date and month in which we will travel. And we have agreed that we will carry out on Friday to Sunday, the twelfth to thirteenth of October, 2019.

Then we started looking for information about Malang city and tourism and booked a hotel for us to stay in while in Malang. And also not missed by us, that we will travel long distances by motorcycle so we have to check each other's motorbikes so that nothing happens beyond expectations that can disrupt our trip.

After getting enough information, we decided that Friday would be the day we started the adventure from Boyolali to Malang. That day arrived. On Fridays some of us go to college and work first, then at 3 pm, we start the trip. The route we took was Boyolali - Solo - Sragen - Ngawi - Kediri - Malang.

We have passed through several cities and when it was maghrib, we arrived in the city of Ngawi and rested to buy drinks and joke so we would not feel tired because our goal was to have fun hehehee. Half an hour later we proceed to the city of Kediri, where we have dinner to fill our empty stomachs. After our stomachs were full, we continued our journey to Malang. Along the journey from Kediri to Malang, we passed through a residential area and we also went through a road that was really dark and left and still wild. The temperature in that area was very very cold for me who has a cold allergy. Then around 10 pm, we arrived in Batu city to stop for a moment to buy drinks and snacks to eat at the hotel. At that time I was so cold that I shivered because the temperature was too cold and I was allergic to cold. Shortly afterward we continued our journey to our hotel which is located not far from Selecta Park, how nice it was when we arrived at the hotel after a long journey.

The next day we went to Batu Malang square to see the atmosphere and take pictures after we had taken enough pictures. Then we had breakfast at a stall near the square.

 Next, we continue the journey to the Coban Rondo waterfall. After arriving at the Coban Rondo waterfall tour we bought drinking water and french fries as our snacks on the road. And not long ago we arrived at the waterfall came a monkey approached us, and it turns out the monkey was targeting our french fries. How surprised I and my friends were, that the fries that we didn't have time to eat disappeared from the monkey. For me, it was tense but also fun because I could see the beautiful view from the Coban Rondo waterfall and the abundant wildlife on the cliffs. Apart from that unpleasant incident, we continued the photo session, and there was one event that stole my attention. A monkey is drinking water from a bottle that he has taken from visitors. I think it's funny, but I still feel scared because of what happened before he hee...

This is a photo that I managed to take.

After having fun at the Coban Rondo waterfall then we continue the journey again to the next tour, Batu Malang Paragliding. And luckily for us, when we came here, the parachutists were fielding tourists.

After enjoying the streets and the time showed at 4 pm, we returned to the hotel to take a shower and rest for a while. But before that, we visited the souvenir center in Malang, the Brawijaya Shop. Already carrying a motorcycle, personal equipment, plus souvenirs as well. Yes, how else would I like to eat snacks so I like this hehehee ... And we went for a walk again at 8 pm in Batu Malang square while buying dinner and also buying snacks called "sempol" which made me very addicted to good taste. It's nice to be able to walk around enjoying the night in the city of Malang, although it is very crowded but peaceful, comfortable, the night view is very beautiful.

Sunday is our last day in Malang. And that day we woke up late and as a result, we were unable to continue our walk in Malang. We started tidying up our equipment and then at 9 we checked out of the hotel and start buying special foods from Malang one of which is Apple Malang. You can imagine how we were at that time that brought a lot of items that we brought heheee...

Our journey back through the forest park with a very steep road and the motorbike that I used matic type, causing my front brake to fail function and requiring us to stop for a moment to cool it down. Unexpectedly it turns out there is a monkey who is stalking us to take the plastic wrap that I brought containing food. For the second time, I was shocked and scared, then because we were too afraid we proceeded very carefully.

During the trip home, we really enjoyed the trip without a hurry even though tomorrow Monday we will start activities as usual again. After we passed the town of Kediri we took a break to stretch out and buy drinks. During the trip, I always hitched a ride with my friend until one day when I arrived at the Madiun-Ngawi border I asked to change positions because at that time my friend began to get sleepy and I couldn't stand to see him. From the Madiun-Ngawi border to Sragen to pass through Alas Ngawi, I was riding a motorcycle. And then my friend continued. Until we arrived at Kartasura, we had dinner first. After dinner, we all took care of our personal belongings and it was time to show at 8 pm, we prepared to return to our respective homes.

Yes, it is a memory that I will never forget, the experience of traveling using the furthest motorbike. Seeing a different atmosphere from what I usually see in my residence, as well as a view that has its own charm. An experience that I might not be able to get anywhere else. MALANG, I MISS YOU.
