Kalau kalian baru pertama kali ke Sarangan, jangan kaget kalau tempatnya rame banget, karena di sekeliling telaganya ada pasar kayak kalau kalian ke Borobudur. Wait, bukan pasar juga sih, tapi toko-toko pernak-pernik, tempat makan, toko oleh-oleh, macem-macem deh pokoknya. Kemarin buat sampai ke telaganya aku harus jalan kaki lewatin banyak toko dari tempat parkir kendaraan. Dulu sih bisa parkir sampai ke dekat telaganya, tapi memang lebih enak parkir di tempat khusus parkir. Oh iya, di sini juga disediain jasa naik kuda lho kalau kalian tertarik!

Waktu mau makan, kami sebenarnya bingung mau makan apa karena belum pernah cobain tempat makan satupun di sana, jadinya agak nggak berani coba-coba, karena takutnya zonk haha. Tapi akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk makan di tempat sate kelinci yang ternyata harganya cukup murah untuk ukuran tempat wisata, sekitar Rp. 15.000-an per porsi dengan jumlah sate yang lebih dari cukup dibandingkan harganya. Rasanya enak banget!

Nah, di Telaga Sarangan ini kalian bisa naik salah satu speed boat ini juga lho. Sekali putarannya cuma Rp. 40.000 dan satu boat bisa muat sampai 4 orang, jadinya harganya bisa dibagi barengan deh. Waktu pertama ke Sarangan, aku nggak sempat naik karena mantanku nggak mau hahaha, tapi karena kemarin beberapa teman ada yang penasaran pengen coba, mumpung udah sampai Sarangan katanya, jadi aku ikut deh. Aku benar-benar sarankan kalian buat cobain naik walau satu putaran aja. Beneran, kalian nggak akan nyesel karena seru banget! Bisa lihat pemandangan full telaganya, apalagi kalau naiknya pas menjelang golden hour, nanti sinar mataharinya cantik banget pas kena bukit di sekitar telaganya.

Untuk menutup postingan kali ini, aku mau nunjukin salah satu momen di mana cahaya mataharinya lagi membelah langit. Cantik banget kan? Aduuh, pergi ke Sarangan tuh memang nggak sia-sia deh. Cahaya matahari di sana bikin kita pengen mandang langit terus. Can't wait to go back!

Ever since I religiously started to transform my blog into a sort of beauty blog with all the product reviews, I forgot that I also have other things to talk about, something that I've been doing in such a long time. I actually miss doing cafe hopping like I used to, but since I spend almost all of my money for my beauty necessities, I have nothing left for cafe hopping, or simply to do quick travel with my boyfriend. This trip was taken a few weeks ago after I got back from Bali, I guess. I promise I'll start working on that post too. It's just that I still don't know if I want to do the Bali posts based on the places or the days only.

Anyway, have you guys been to Tebing Breksi? This was my second trip already, but the first time I went here, I didn't get to hike all the way up to the top of the cliff because it was raining and the cliff became very slippery. The view was really beautiful, you can see the Merapi mountain in all its glory.

Pretty isn't it?

Ooo, it's rare for me to open a post with the face of my boyfriend's. There I give you the honor to enjoy his round and chubby cheeks before we get into today's post.

I've had this post laying in my draft for a year now, lol. Well, not exactly 365 days but I went to Ullen Sentalu last year. I was too busy preparing for the community service program that I couldn't even manage to write something about the trip on the blog. Because you guys know me. I'm not going to write a blog post with little writings to it. I think it's the only obstacle that I face whenever I want to post something. Either that, or I don't have any picture to add. I'm both visual and not. Deal with it.

I like trips to museums or art exhibitions. It's like zen mode, gives me a peace of mind. Because after a week full of responsibilities, all you need is a smol entertainment that makes you coming back to your sense. Ullen Sentalu is famous for its sloping stone wall that you can find in almost everyone's photo trip to Ullen Sentalu. The museum itself keeps a bounty of relics and paintings from the tale of two kingdoms, Jogja and Solo back in time when they were still led by a king. The collection inside the museum are personal collection of the owner of the museum himself. And the most important rules when you're visiting Ullen Sentalu, is you're not allowed to take photos when you're on the tour. Yes, it's a bit strict here in Ullen Sentalu. You'll go by batch every one hour and there will be a tour guide that'll explain you everything, take you to every section of the museum. That's what I like the most about Ullen Sentalu because nowadays people often forget to enjoy the inside of the museum itself because they're busy taking photos with the content. You do get to take pictures once you're on the end of the tour, which is in front of the famous sloping stone wall. That's like the only place you're allowed to since the wall itself was just a replica of the wall in certain temple in which I stupidly forget, sorry.

We were given this traditional herbal drink when taking a break halfway through the tour. You do get to take out your camera and snap some photos here too. They said the drink was the same drink that one of the princess there had been consuming during her lifetime to seem ageless. It tastes like wedang uwuh, it's so obvious that it contains a lot of traditional spices.

This is the famous sloping stone wall that I'm talking about. It represents the lack of knowledge of our young people nowadays about our own history, hence it's sloping down. There aren't many pictures I can show here but it was a very good visit indeed. Ullen Sentalu is located on Kaliurang highland and you can reach the place by basically anything since it has spacious parking lot. The entrance fee is IDR 50k for weekdays–it's a bit pricey but it's totally worth the money.
