KEDIRI THE SECOND CHANCE

Part II

The sun run fast and had flied upon our head. We’d prayed, we had taken a bath, we had enjoyed the beautiful garden around the grotto, but one thing we hadn’t did and it need to be done soon. Our stomach must be filled up with warm food. We decide to have our brunch at city of Kediri. We got difficulty search the food stall because the day was sacrifice day, a Muslim’s celebration day on giving their wealth to either. On this day, they sacrifice the cow or goat to be killed and share the meat to the poor.

Finally we find a food stall and there’re many people there. Most of them were Moslem that has had their ritual prayer on the Sacrifice Day. After brunch, we plan which route we will choose for the way home. Then, after talk and some suggestion from local person, we decide the south route. The route would take Pacitan as the check point. The route was Kediri – Tulungagung – Trenggalek – Ponorogo – Slahung – Tegalombo – Pacitan – Punung – Giribelah – Pracimantoro – Baran – Wonosari – Piyungan – Kalasan – Jogja.

From Kediri we straight on the south to Tulungagung, then at the city, at the cross road with farmer statue on the right side, we turn right to take the way to Trenggalek. Trenggalek – Tugu –Sawo – Sambit – Balong (south of Ponorogo, because we don’t enter the city of Ponorogo) – Slahung. The heaven start from this small town.

From here, the road start gave us enjoy of riding with its turns. Some farmers work in their rice field, they prepare the land became a rice field. Someone else plant the rice bud in the muddy field. The funs get more and more because we began up into the hill. Far away, we saw the beautiful waterfall among the green trees. Flow and jump from the black stones. I think that’s the only waterfall we would see, but the heaven getting beautiful. The road lies on the slope of one hill and in the left side were other hills. Between us and the others hill was the ravine of river. It’s a beautiful landscape I wasn’t ever imagine before, may be just in the painting of an artist.

The bonuses came and came again. From the slope of other hill, some waterfall reflects the sun shines to us. It is white lines go down along the slopes. Wow...., the scenery far away jump into our right side. The little waterfall came down from the top of the hill at our right side. It came down and flow below our road. May be you have seen the waterfall at west Sumatra, that lies just near the main road. It is like it, but in the high altitude. We met two or three at the right side of us along the way from Slahung and Pacitan, and more number at our left side. What a pity, I didn’t take the picture of it, but this is one of the reasons that I would back to this heaven again, to take picture of it.

At one point, we saw a unique rock stones. I took some picture of its. I think the heaven end here, because we found a usual panoramic. The road became tighten and we must careful when face the other vehicle from opposite. I am wrong, because then, we found another paradise. The side hill road at our right and the swift river at left side and the quiet road make us carried away from this world. The stone on the river looks green like jade. The brown water flowed over it (maybe because had been rained). Nowadays I know that the river was Grindulu.

Rain down immediately and we stop our bike to use our raincoat. From here, we separate with Father Greg because He must get Jogja before night. Then the group just remains 2 bikes. We start again our ride to Pacitan city; there we filled our tank full. The stomach need to fill either. Pacitan known with its beach named Teleng Ria. This beach just takes 10 minute from the city, so we decided to get there for lunch. As the servant served the baked fish, Tete and Dion slept away, in other hand Bimo and I got to white sands beach. Here some Photograph.

By 14:00 we start ride home again. We choose the route south-south. It took the road to Wonogiri, but if you got Punung, you must turn left by the hills road till Giribelah, Wonogiri. This road like personal road because you would meet another vehicle rarely. The wide road just stopped till the border of East and Middle Java. By enter the Middle Java roads you just got the narrow road, typically road at Gunung Kidul, Jogjakarta. But the most important with this route was you cut more kilometers by this way. Then from Pracimantoro, after Giribelah, you ought to choose straight on by the crossroad, because if you choose the right turn, you would be brought to Solo. This straight road would bring you directly to Wonosari, GunungKidul.

Finally we enter the city of Wonosari. I ask my friend to get Tiwul, a special food here. It would be bringing home for our family. Unfortunately the food stall closed. Then without any stopped we run fast to Jogja city. There’s no special happens until we get home at 17:30. Then, the other touring would plan again. So wait for next story.
