Before visiting many resorts and tourism places around Central Java province, we visited my grandfather and my mother’s relatives. Because of traffic jam, it took 12 hours to reach there with my grandfather’s car.
We saw beautiful rice farms, lakes, big rivers, and forests on the way there. I enjoyed it so much. When we reached our destination, many villagers welcomed us. All families and relatives were busy cooking special favorite food for us. After that, we ate together in the large hall of my grandfather’s house.
On the second day, we went to Prambanan Temple. It was not far from my grandfather’s home. We went there at 6 a.m and arrived at 9 a.m. I adored seeing one of the greatest building in the world with amazing ancient architecture.
