Last day at Yogyakarta. Nothing was planned. Need to be at the airport around 3+. Took our time and lepak around the Guest House. Had our breakfast and a morning swim, packed our bags and luggage, put them at the counter there and checked out our room. Asked the receptionist girl, Fia, to see where else got nice food around the guest house. She pointed us to one place, within walking distance, selling beef ribs.

So we started walking towards the place for our lunch and along the way, we saw a lot of paddy fields (again), and the sky was very blue. How to not shoot?

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
The paddy fields was not like the one in Sekinchan, where it is very wide and endless. The paddy fields here in Yogyakarta is more like a backyard of someone’s house. That’s why you see a lot of different colour’s field cos different owners plant them different time.

Some house looking like prison.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Lines seperate your fields and my fields?

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
A very very old house. Seems dangerous, but there are actually people working inside!

The same prison-like house I mentioned earlier. Look at the sky!

A path leading into more paddy fields and houses of the local.

The same path, further in, you can see the locals working on the field.

More close-up shots of paddy. Yay~

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
A lof of bugs live here in the paddy field. I notice this is one of the difference between Sekinchan and Yogyakarta. At Sekinchan, there are bugs, but not that many, at Yogyakarta, whenever you walk close to the field, you can see a lot of bugs flying/jumping/fleeing away.

While me, Shyng, and Jook went further to take photos, YenC, Siewmei, and Hamyu were waiting under this hut.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
The hut is located outside of the restaurant where we’re going to have our lunch with.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Here is it! Balinese food in Yogyakarta! Lol!

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
The drinks here were very authentic. Some are nice and some tasted weird. But they’re all fruit juices. While we were waiting for our food, we went behind the restaurant and took some pictures because there’s another paddy field back there.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Flowers behind the restaurant. Hardworking bee gathering honey.

Yogyakarta, IndonesiaThis is how the restaurant looks like from outside the field.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Does this mean the restaurant does not need to buy their own rice?

Tiny white flowers growing along the path in the middle of the field.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Not sure what this is, maybe “street light”?

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
After this shot, I found out it is very dangerous to run on the path in between the paddy field. I almost PK-ed.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
But jumping on the spot should be okie. :D

Left: Golden brown. Right: Greenish yellow.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Successful trip! Hooray~

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Ok… the food is here already, need to walk back to grab our lunch.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia
There we are waiting for the flight at Yogyakarta airport.

That’s it. That’s my trip to Yogyakarta. Overall the trip was fun. The gang was fun to travel with (all like taking photos of anything). Schedule was not tight, although need to wake up early sometimes, but we took our time slumberly at all the places we visited. Didn’t manage to visit Mount Bromo (which Behn and Sherrina recommended) because need to travel 9 hours by bus or too expensive by flight from Yogyakarta, so it didn’t fulfilled the requirement of our trip which is “relax”. But, we’ll go visit Mount Bromo one day.

Spend less than RM1k this whole trip including flight and accomodations for 4 days 3 nights. No, I didn’t buy a lot of things there but if you like to take photos and see different things, not a bad deal.
