Jogja: Day 03

Today we checked out from Ibis Malioboro and proceed to our second place to stay, Rumah Mertua. That morning, we walked along Malioboro Street to find something to eat. Since the Mall is not open until 9:30am, we decided to find something to eat first. There are many stalls along the road selling foods such as Bakso, Bakmi, Lumpia and Es Buah. But, we could not find anything that interests us. So, Syah decided to have one Es Buah and then we bought two Lumpia. Lumpia is actually Popiah here in Malaysia. Had our 'not really a breakfast' at the food court in Malioboro Mall later.
After checking out at Ibis, we took a cab to Rumah Mertua. A boutique hotel located 20 minutes from Malioboro Street and the first hotel we stayed in, it is more secluded. We found out about this place from a blog that we came acroos and we think that the place is beautiful. True enough, it is. The room is so spacious, nice and quiet environment. The people there are friendly too. We had our luch there, a set called Rijstaffel. A number of more than 10 dishes at a very cheap price.


Rested for a while, we then planned to visit Prambanan. But since time is not on our side, we change to Kraton. Upon reaching there, we didn't quite had the chance to go in since it almost closed. What we had next is the Beringharjo Market. A place to buy cheap batik, souvenirs and others. One thing that turns us off is that the cab driver told us that there are many pick pockets. We cancelled it and then were taken to a batik shop called Bu Karti.
Feeling dissapointed, and furthermore its raining, we headed back to the hotel. Had dinner there and the rain still doesn't stops.

I first visited your blog, but my antispyware said that he is infected with an unknown virus.
I deleted the virus through this AntiSpyWare.
The virus does not manifest itself but gradually destroys information on the computer.
