My Vacation in Palembang

Hi guys!!! In this moment, I would like to tell you about my experience during my last holiday.
Well, actually My family and I went to Palembang. That time is my third day after the progress report had been given. Palembang is the capital city South Sumatera. If you are a good Indonesian, you know it. (hehe just kidding).
And now the story begins.
I went to Palembang at December 22nd 2009. Well, the most interesting thing from my trip is the way I get there. Why? Because of the views you will get.
We went there by car. My father said that it is cheaper. And there’s another advantage of using car. That’s we can go around the city anytime we like, we want. It was 7 o’clock when I left my home. From Jakarta, we went to Merak Harbour first. We had to cross the Sunda channel by ship. It costs Rp. 198.000,- for a car (includes the passangers). Then, we arrived at Bakauheni Harbour, South Lampung. It took about 2 hours from Merak harbor to Bakauheni Harbour. And then, we had lunch in Siang Malam Restaurant. It’s padang food. I love it. About 2 haours later, I arrived at Bandar Lampung. We visited my great-granfather’s home. And he was so happy about our visit. But, I stayed there for only an hour. Then, I continued my journey to Palembang at 5 o’clock. I hate my trip from Bandar Lampung to Palembang. Why? First, it’s because of the road condition.b it’s not so good. Second, there was a traffic jam. This because a truck had a flattire. And you know what? It caused a traffic jam along 10 km. just wise man used to say every cloud has its silver line, I found the silver line. When I was had a dinner in Pagi Sore Restaurant, I saw a thousand stars in the sky. Seriously, there were a lot lot lot of stars. It was like a spoon of sugar had been poured in the sky. It centered in one area. It was such a beautiful moment to see that phenomenon. And when I was in my car, that stars were like following me. And I arrived at my grandma’s home at 3 a.m. That’s why I woke up at 11 a.m.
First day.
First day in Palembang, I didn’t go anywhere. What I did are just watching TV, take a nap, and eat.
Second Day.
And now, my mother and I went to my aunt’s house. Her husband is a captain for a cruise ship. And her son, a.k.a my cousin. He will represent our country in a robot competiton in 2010. When I was in his house, he was making the track for the robot. I’m very proud to have a cousin like him.
Third Day
I went to my uncle’ house nerby my home. And, there were a lot of people there. They’re talking about passed. Especially their experience when they where a student in Sriwijaya University. Actually, I didn’t know exactly what they were talking about. That’s because they used Palembang language.
Fourth Day.
And now, it’s time to go back to Jakarta. Before I left Palembang, I went to a Palembang Traditional crackers shop. This is my friends’ favor. And then, I continued my journey to Jakarta. And then I had lunch in Pagi Sore Restaurant. one thing that very interesting moment. When I came across “Lintas Timur”, there’s a huge sugarcane garden. Very huge. It didn’t have any border line. You can see it as far as you can see something. It’s Gulaku factory. It took 4 hours from that area to Bakauheni Harbour. We used Menggala ship. You know what? There’s a traffic jam in merak Harbour. The ships were over load, so our ship have to queue. Then, I had dinner at 11 p.m. so late. Then finally I arrived at home at 1 a.m.
