My journey to Bali and Banyuwangi (1st day) Hello everyone, I’m going to write about my journey to Bali and Banyuwangi from 11st July – 21st July. I will start from my 1st day July 11, 2018 Today was an exciting day for me and my friends. We had planned to go to Banyuwangi and Bali and today was the day!!! We would go to Banyuwangi first by train. We didn’t go with plane because we wanted to visit many destinations before heading to Bali. I went with my six other friends, their names are Ari, Bubu, Depi, Kirana, Qori, and Ucup. They are my friends from University (well, they are also my family). We had planned this trip since 2 months ago to celebrate our graduation, so this would be a wonderful journey for us. Our train departed at 9.15 a.m. from Jakarta and would have arrived in Surabaya at 1.15 a.m. Yes, I know it was a long journey...but I enjoyed the journey so much, because of my friends. We laughed together, exchanged stories together, and during our journey, we met a cute little boy. The little boy was really funny and he played with us whenever he woke up from sleep. We called him “Buaaa...!”, because he liked to play hide and seek face with us and he always said “buaaaa!!” to us hahaha. Unfortunately, when we arrived in Surabaya, he and his parents had to go to different destination. So goodbye BUAA..!! We would really miss you! We arrived in Surabaya at 1.15 a.m. We were so hungry at that moment. One of my friends, Depi suggested us to eat something near the train station, so we ate at a small restaurant (in Indonesian language, we called it “warung makan”). I ordered ‘Soto Ayam’ there. Ayam means chicken, and soto is indonesian authentic food. If you visit Indonesia, you should eat this wonderful food! The Soto Ayam that I ordered in Surabaya was not really different with the ones that I usually eat in Jakarta, but it tasted better because it had rich flavor. After we filled our belly, we continued our journey. All I did was sleeping in the train during the journey, because I was really exhausted. I woke up at 07.00 a.m. and saw that all of my friends already woke up too. Depi said to me that Ari (one of my friends) wanted to put garbage into my mouth, because my mouth was opened when I was sleeping Hahahaha. I didn’t realize that, but I knew he was just joking. So we arrived in Banyuwangi around 11.00 a.m. and we would just take a rest and continue our journey the next day. Our plan was to go to a beach, savana, mountain, etc. I will write about my next day tomorrow
