My Holiday Experience in Jogjakarta

 Last week, my familIy went to Yogyakarta. We visited many places there.

First, we visited Prambanan Temple. Prambanan temple was a beautiful temple. We took some photos there. After that, we went to Gembira Loka zoo. We saw many kinds of animals there such as tiger, snakes collection, butterfly collections, etc. We looked around in that Zoo, and also took pictures of those animals. After from gembira loka zoo  we went to Sahid raya hotel to take a rest. Sahid raya was a famous hotel in jogjakarta, the facilities made me comfortable during i stayed there.  

In the next day, we went to Siung beach. Siung beach was very beautiful. I played the white sands, I swam there and i saw some people practiced rock climbing there. Siung beach was in Gunung Kidul, about 2 hours from the center of Jogjakarta. I played for some hours until i felt tired and decided to go back to our car. After that, we went to malioboro to buy some souvenirs. Malioboro was about 30 minutes from Sahid Raya hotel. Malioboro is a busy street, there were many sellers who sold many kinds of souvenirs. Then, we felt hungry, so we went to a Chinese restaurant. After we finished our dinner, we decided to go home. 

For me, that was a good moment because I could spend my time with my family. We really enjoyed it.
