A Day Visit to Yogyakarta 4
Juan Salman

Last week, I went with my family to Yogyakarta, which is well-known throughout Indonesia for its
art and culture and has a famous museum.

We woke up early in the morning. My father prepared the car in the garage while mother was preparing food for
breakfast and some snacks for us. My sister and I packed some clothes. After everything was ready and we had
our breakfast, we left the house at six o'clock. My father drove the car. My mother sat beside him. My sister and
I sat in the back seats.

It was about nine o’clock when we arrived at Yogyakarta. First of all, we visited our uncle. We stayed there for
an hour. Then we went to Parangtritis beach. We got there at eleven o'clock. There were a lot of tourists because
it was a holiday. My parents watched us playing with sand in the beach. We did not swim and take a bath since
the waves were rough. Two hours later, after having lunch, we went on our picnic to the museum and Malioboro
shopping center. We spent three hours in each place.

We drove back to Semarang at seven o'clock and arrived home at ten. We were tired but happy.
