Sebuah wisata tak terencana, begitu aku menyebutnya. Bermula dengan melancong ke Banjarnegara untuk pertemuan keluarga. Papa mertua berasal dari sana dan sudah lama tak bersua dengan saudara-saudaranya. Jadilah kami berangkat dengan kereta dari Jakarta.
Setibanya di Banjar, kami uda disambut dengan pemandangan indah yang mengelilingi lokasi kami menginap, Surya Yudha Park. Usai acara temu kangen seharian penuh, sepupuku bercerita mengenai tempat ini. Dieng. Dataran tinggi yang ramai dikunjungi orang dan letaknya tak jauh dari Banjarnegara. It sits at 2,000 metres above sea level, dan konon namanya berasal dari Di Hyang yang artinya Abode the Gods.
Singkat cerita kami memutuskan ke sana keesokan harinya. And I'm totally speechless once I arrived. Menikmati momen sunrise di Dieng adalah keputusan spontan yang sungguh tak terlupakan. Menyambut matahari yang begitu cantik. Birunya langit yang mampu menenangkan hati yang pahit. Membuatku ribuan kali bersyukur bahwa Tuhan membiarkanku melihat semua keindahan alam yang tak dapat diciptakan dengan tangan manusia.
In English :
I call this another unplanned trip. Start with visiting Banjarnegara for family meeting. My father in law was born in Banjar and in many years he could not meet his siblings. He's kinda home sick I could say. So we took a train from Jakarta.
Upon our arrival we were welcomed by pretty scenery that surround place where we stay, Surya Yudha Park. After whole day gathering session, my cousins told me about this place. Dieng. A marshy plateau which always full of tourists and it's not far from Banjarnegara. It sits at 2,000 metres above sea level and allegedly Dieng's name come from Di Hyang, means Abode the Gods.
We decided to go there the day after. And I'm totally speechless once I arrived. Seek for sunrise in Dieng is a spontaneous decision that I won't be able to forget. Greet a gorgeous morning sun happily. Stare to a pretty blue sky. I feel so grateful that God let me see this wonderful view that can't be carved by humans hand.
I love to travel, a lot. Dan emang kalo liat di highlight banyaknya nangkring ke negara orang. Bukan ngga cinta Indonesia gengs. No. Bukan juga karna kebanyakan duit. Definitely NO.
Simpel aja. Ngerasa masi muda, masi kuat, maunya yg jauh dulu. Yg kalo naek pesawat lama. Nanti klo uda mulai tua takut badan ini tak mampu walau hati ingin
And moreover, I wanna save the best for last. Sebut aja Sumba, Raja Ampat Papua, yg keindahannya memukau mata.
Tapi sesekali boleh lah disempilin ngiterin Jakarta dulu. Bangunan lama peninggalan jaman penjajahan Belanda. Yg tinggalnya di ibukota boleh lo sesekali mampir ke kota tua. Cantiknya nggak kalah sama yang di luar juga. Sekalian mempertajam ingatan sama sejarah bangsa sendiri
I love to travel, a lot. And if you saw my insta highlight, I'll admit I love to perch in other countries. It isn't because of I don't love Indonesia. No. Or you think I have a lot of money. Definitely NO.
A simple reason. Still feel young and strong. So I want to take a farther most route first which force me to take a long flight. I'm afraid, later, when I'm getting older and older, I could not able to sit for a long time even my heart want it so badly.
And moreover, I wanna save the best for last. Sumba, Raja Ampat Papua, which its beauty amaze every eyes.
Yet once in a while I was compelled to explore Indonesia. Start with Jakarta. Witnessing relics of colonial era. For those of you who stay in Jekardah you might stop by Jakarta Old Town. It's pretty and it might sharp your memory of our nation history.
