Like Yudi's promise to his son and wife, to refresh and release the mind that is always preoccupied by the routine in the gallery and take care of orchids, they picnic. Rent a tour car, complete with the driver. Of course Yudi does not want his children to achieve The goal is Bali, the island of gods that was once Yudi's dream to live as a place to paint.
"Ashik .., we go to Bali ..." said Silvy who is certainly also saturated every day just see orchids continue.
In the morning, after breakfast, Yudi with his family prepared to go on a tour. In the parking lot of Taman Anggrek Nirwana has been parked a light green Elf mini bus with a red line on the wall. The engine's still on. Said the driver, solar car if it only stops for a while should not be turned off the engine. The driver did not want to eat breakfast, he said he had breakfast at his home. He waited on the terrace pendopo.
Silvy was wearing a white t-shirt that was put in blue jeans. Twins with her husband. The sneakers Silvy and Yayan wore were the same. Only, Silvy shoes are ping-colored, while Yayan has gray. On Yayan's shoulders hung two jackets, his and his wife's. Later if the new cold will be used. Silvy and Yayan had already pushed a suitcase of her own clothes and that of her parents. In addition to pushing the suitcase, Yayan also holds a camera bag. Of course later to photograph all the objects he encountered. So did Silvy who was holding a small bag. It must contain HP and wallet.
Rini wore gray jean pants, with a blazer-like top. Of course it's warmer. Rini was not wearing shoes, only wearing slippers, but her feet were wearing socks. Of course not to get cold. Not to forget, Rini was wearing sunglasses. He was carrying a plastic box filled with small meals. There is also a crackle bag, which also contains small meals. Later for snacks during the trip. He is also the same as Silvy, holding a small bag, containing HP and wallet.
Yudi wears jean pants, long-sleeved checkered shirts, and jean jackets. Of course, the age of Yudi who has stepped on almost sixty years, is already vulnerable to colds. On his waist there is a leather waist bag, made by Manding Jogja Village craftsmen. In that waist bag was HP and that was definitely a sum of money. His wallet was put in the back pocket of his pants. His head was wearing a leather laken hat, also made by Manding craftsmen. While his feet wear King shoes, Jungle model. Of course not to miss also wearing sunglasses.
The last one is Yuni. He also wore jean pants and a t-shirt. The shirt is jambon, the pants are deep red. The shoes are very nice, the shoes of today's girls in bright red. The shoulder rambuntnya was shaved and tied with jambon ribbon. The sweater is tied around the waist. Very beautiful for children aged not even nine years, whose height has reached one hundred and fifty centimeters, with a slim stature. Yuni's left hand dragging her wheelchair bag, of course, contains various supplies, including some shirts that can be taken at any time to replace. The plan is Yuni wants to take pictures at attractions with different clothes. While Yuni's right hand held HP, of course while walking while dragging the HP screen. That's why it's at the back.
"apartments .... Come quickly ..." said Silvy calling his sister.
"Yes, Brother ..." said Yuni who then ran small following his brothers.
In the parking lot, the driver opened the back baggage door. Of course to put luggage. The driver was already waiting behind the mini bus, to help put the luggage in.
Yayan had put in the suitcase he had brought and carried his wife. Then Yayan put a jacket and camera bag in the seat. Then he again took a drink, and put it on the floor of the car behind the driver.
"The door's all locked, Brother Yayan ...?" ask Yudi to Yayan who came out last from the house.
"Already, Pah .... Stay farewell and mesan to Mas Trimo." replied Yayan.
"Mas Trimo ...!" Rini called out to the Trimo.
"Please, Mother ..." replied Trimo who directly faced Rini, of course he will be ordered various kinds.
"We want a vacation, Mas Trimo's guarding the house. If you are afraid of both, bring the wife's child here. If you want to eat or make a drink, find yourself in the kitchen refrigerator. Do not forget to water all the plants. If there is a fussy buyer, do not need to be harried. At the very least have no money" Rini said giving an explanation to Mas Trimo.
"Yes, Mommy .... What in the lab, Ms ...?" ask Mas Trimo who is certainly also worried.
"Laboratory is not open. No problem, it doesn't need anything. Lab not opened. Worried later if there are visitors who mess with chemicals, it could be dangerous" said Yayan ordered.
"Oh, yes Mas Yayan .... I'll just lock it." said Trimo.
"Yes, already ..., then we leave first .... It's money later if you need anything .... Be careful at home, yes ..." said Rini who advised, and certainly gave money to keep watch to Trimo.
"Consider, Madam .... Thank you ..., be careful on the road ..." said Trimo while receiving the money given by Rini.
"Dada .., Mas Trimo ..." said Yuni who was certainly waving.
They got into the mini bus. Silvy was already sitting in the back seat of the driver.
"Frank just ahead ...." Said Yayan asking his father to sit near the driver.
"Yayan who accompanied the Driver .... Papah wants to sit in the back .... Go to sleep. Hehe ..." replied Yudi who had already opened the back door.
Rini sat with Yudi, in the back seat. Yuni sat down with her brother, Silvy, who was behind the driver.
Yes, the mini bus is quite large.it should be able to fill twelve passengers. This time it was filled with five passengers. Sure is very loose. So that the passengers are very free with a very large seat. Moreover, when squeezing, Yudi asked that the seat be removed one row. Then it looks wide and comfortable to sit, even sleep.
The driver has launched the mini bus, leaving Nirwana Orchid Park. The mini bus has passed through Yudi's Gallery, has also crossed the People's Market. Next left the city of Bantul, passing on the southern ring road, heading east, leaving the city of Yogjakarta. Continues to the east, across the city of Klaten, across the City of Solo, and continues to accelerate.
The driver was new, the car was new. Padded suspension, no vibration felt. Plus Really comfortable. So only until Solo, Yudi has competed with the driver. If the driver drives his car to speed, Yudi also sleeps ..., aka snoring. Not long after, Rini who was sitting next to Yudi, had also caught up with her sleep.
Yayan, who was sitting in front, had installed his camera. He photographed every object he felt fit to photograph. Automatic camera that has high speed, with a telephoto zoom lens is very sharp to be able to enlarge the shooting angle to a very far place. Of course Yayan will freely photograph objects that are not clear from his view. This camera is also able to take pictures as much as ten times in one second press.
Behind the driver, Silvy was busy sliding the HP screen. Of course browsing and uploading various kinds of images and chat with his friends. To be sure, Silvy already has a marketplace on social media. So even though traveling, he is still busy with buying and selling cyberspace. Later all orders will be handled by Mas Trimo, to pack the orders of the buyers, while the delivery service is Mas Bagas.
Yuni is nosy. Once he knew that his mother's father was sleeping snoring, he took HP. Without looking back, HP was lifted, directed exactly at his mother's father, then recorded. Naturally Yuni recorded while laughing, feeling amused at her parents. Basic children, have no pity on his exhausted parents.
Rini, who heard the laughter of her daughter, woke up. He felt definitely bullied by his nosy son.
"Yuni ..., what are you ...?" ask her mother Yuni.
"No papa, Mah .... Hikihhik ...." Yuni did not confess.
"The same Mama Papah was recorded by Yuni ..." said Silvy who opened the secret.
"Because .... Mamah's child is indeed nosy ..." said Rini who immediately spread her head again, leaning on her husband's shoulder.
The driver who can see from the upper rearview mirror, certainly smiling to witness Yuni's funny behavior. Of course the driver with a happy heart, will produce pleasure in driving. Especially when the car has entered the toll, then the driver continues to drive the mini bus with leisure. Although it feels relaxed, but know-how the car has come out of the toll Probolinggo. The day is late.
"We ate first, Mas ...?" the driver asked Yayan, who was sitting next to him.
"cn .... It's already off the toll, huh ...?" asked Yayan who was hesitant to answer.
"Rubber, Mas .... We go out Probolinggo, later through the pantura line, until Banyuwangi." replied the driver.
Once out of the toll, of course the road is not smooth anymore. The wheels of the car that began to tread the road were uneven, felt by Rini and Yudi. That's why the two old men woke up.
"Eh, where's this?" ask Yudi who has woken up.
"We're exiting the Probolinggo toll road, Pah .... Stop by the diner now, Pah ...?" yayan said to his father, who of course directly offended the restaurant.
"Yes .... We had lunch first .... Walah, this is a lunch break .... Means Papah sleeps along this path ..." said Yudi who would have been lost sleepy.
"Sir chauffeur .., we had lunch first ..." Rini told the minibus driver.
"Yes, Madam .... Any recommendations for commonly used restaurants?" ask the driver.
"Good, Sir .... We ate on our travel subscription, yes ..." said the driver, who then turned his car to a restaurant located on the beach, in the area of Bentar Beach. Pretty big and majestic. In the parking lot there are many private cars and travel that stop there. They must be having lunch too.
Yudi and Rini who went down first went straight to the restaurant, to find a seat. While Yayan, Silvy and Yuni, immediately ran to the beach. Must have been pictures first. Yudi also invited his driver to lunch. The driver got a free menu from the restaurant. As usual, it is a bonus for a travel driver. The place is in the back room.
After being satisfied with the photos, Yayan, Silvy and Yuni, went straight to the table that had been ordered by her father and mother. They also enjoyed a seafood lunch. The menu of the beach restaurant. Delicious and not too expensive.
The driver has gone to the mini bus, has restarted the car engine. Silvy asked to move to sit in the back. Yuni is with her sister. Yudi and Rini are forced to move forward. Yayan still accompanied the Driver.
After the car runs, replace the sleeping Silvy and Yuni. While behind the driver, Yudi and Rini also observed the surrounding scenery passed by the tour car. Sometimes we talk to the driver. Of course accompany the driver so as not to sleep.
Beside the driver, Yayan who from morning was busy photographing every object he saw, now Yayan was asleep. Of course, because of the glut and achieved negligence, then his children are already in sleep all.
The day had begun in the afternoon, when the mini bus that was boarded by Yudi and his family arrived at the port of Ketapang Banyuwangi. Yayan was shocked, because the streets were so crowded. Yuni and Silvy also woke up.
"Huh ..., how is it dark ...?!" Yuni was shocked, because it was already dark outside.
"It's late, sweetie ..." said Rini.
"To where?" ask Silvy.
"This we want to enter Ketapang Port in Banyuwangi. Soon we will take a boat across the Bali Strait ..." explained Rini again to her children.
The driver of the mini bus went straight to the port. Of course, at the same time buy a ticket for the car and its passengers. Next in line to get into the ferry boat. Incidentally quite crowded, so the queue is also quite long.
At seven o'clock, the mini bus that Yudi boarded with his family was only able to enter the ferry. Yudi, Rini and her children, went straight up to the top, where the passengers could sit while looking at the sea view. Of course they do not give up the opportunity to see the beautiful Bali Strait at night.
"Honey .., look down ..." said Yudi who pointed directly towards the sea under the ship.
"What's up, Pah ...?" ask kids.
"That's .... Children who are good at diving, to catch the coins of money thrown by the passengers of the ship." Yudi still shows attractions that are certainly very rare. Yes, indeed in the Port of Gilimanuk and Ketapang, is a crossing port that has a unique attraction of sea children who are good at diving.
"Russia .... They can find the coins thrown from this ship yes, Pah .... Very cool ..." said the children.
"Begging the coin to Mamah, then throw it around them. Later they will scramble to dive, to get the coin. If they have found it, it will be shown to us that they have found it. Try ..." Yudi said to his children.
Rini gave some coins in her wallet, to her children. Then Yayan who tried first tossed the money coin. True, some bare-chested children immediately dived, towards where the coin had fallen. A moment later one of the children showed his hand who had found the money.
Silvy also threw the coin out of his hand. Yuni also threw. Many times Silvy and Yuni tossed coins. In fact, the boys managed to find all the coins he threw. Until their coins are gone.
Of course Yayan did not miss the attractions of the sea children. Yayan who already holds the camera, immediately snapped pictures of the sea children who are good at diving and found coins thrown by the passengers of the ship. Until finally, when the ferry began to walk away from the port, Yudi threw a paper bill of ten thousand quite a lot. The sea children who know that there is a banknote thrown, of course they immediately swim to get it. For Yudi it is just a gift for children who have done diving attractions.
That night, ferry crossing from Ketapang Port which is at the eastern end of Java Island to Gili Manuk Port on Bali Island, wading through the Bali Strait which borders directly with the Indian Ocean. Yudi deliberately invited his wife and child to sit on the back deck, while watching the night sky. Yudi also ordered instant noodles in packs, eaten with his son and wife. Rini who forgot to bring a small meal, finally bought snacks in the canteen of the ship. There are fried foods and packaged snacks.
What about the driver? Surely, the mini bus driver they rented, had been sleeping since getting into the ship. That's the condition of the driver. He would sleep when his car stopped or rested. Pretty good, can rest about two hours more. Crossing it for a while, the old one is queuing and arranging the goods in the ship.
About an hour later, the ferry crossed the Bali Strait. Finally, the ship docked at the port of Gili Manuk on the island of Bali. In the middle of the night, they have entered the island of Bali. Yudi with his wife and children immediately boarded his tourist car, when it had gone down and queued out of the port.
The driver who certainly has been refreshed after sleeping during the crossing, he also drove his car again, down the road on the southern coast of Bali Island, to the first tourist attraction, he said, the Tanah Lot. But for the passengers, because of the midnight journey, then all the passengers were asleep in his dream. The car was not going too fast. Of course the driver had estimated the time, so they would arrive at Tanah Lot the morning before sunrise.Hopefully later, the tourists will watch the morning in Tanah Lot. And it is true, about half-hour five in the morning when Indonesia was in the middle, the mini tour bus chartered by Yudi had arrived in Tanah Lot. The parking lot is still empty. There were two big buses. Usually it is a tour bus that comes from Java. The driver parked his car, close to the two buses.
"It arrived .... Monggo, please see the beautiful scenery Tanah Lot ..." said the driver who of course memangungkan passengers.
"Hah ..., has arrived ...? Let's get up ..." said Rini who woke up her children.
"Wake up ..." continued Yudi who had opened the door, came down and wriggled.
His children got up and rushed down. The first thing I looked for was the bathroom. Of course they will go to the restroom after a night of sleeping in the car. They ran to the bathroom. Lucky still quiet, so do not have to queue.
Furthermore, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery in Tanah Lot. A very beautiful natural landscape, with the remains of abrasion. A temple in the middle of a charming sea, and the ocean that always scatters its waves.
Yuni was very happy to witness the beauty of nature. So he ran to and fro, to enjoy the beauty of the cliffs that are battered by the waves. Not to forget, he selfies with various styles.
Yayan who holds the camera, immediately splashed. Photographing his wife, his father, his mother, and his sister. In fact, he also asked one of the visitors to take a photo of one family. They all played until they were satisfied. Even Yuni also witnessed the crowds of souvenir traders along the entrance to the beach. Really fun.
After a shower and breakfast at Tanah Lot Beach, which of course with the driver who woke up from his sleep, the driver continued the journey. This time to the Batu Bulan area. The journey is about an hour. They will be watching the barong dance. Yes, a famous art attraction in Bali. If a trip to Bali has not witnessed a barong dance, it is very unfortunate. Therefore, Yudi and his family immediately watched the barong dance. The venue is like a theater in the aeropa, but it is made of bamboo and wood. If you climb stairs, be careful. But after the dance began, the audience was happy and cheering. A unique and magical dance.
After watching the barong dance, it was already noon. Yudi asked the driver to go to the hotel. They'll stay first, and of course have lunch. The driver was also booked into the inn. Of course not to sleep. Then all of them slept that afternoon. In the afternoon Yudi had promised, would invite his wife and child to watch Garuda Wisnu Kencana.
For up to two days, Yudi with his wife and son toured Bali. Starting from Kuta Beach, Sukowati Art Market, Bedugul Lake, Besakih Temple, Uluwatu, Nusa Penida, all have been visited. Stay home. But there is a place that Yudi wants to show Yuni, namely Ubud. The painters' village.
"Sir, we go to Ubud first, yes ..." pinta Yudi to the driver.
"Good, Sir .... But I've never been there, please show me the way" said the driver.
"Read More .... There will be Maps ..." said Yayan who was still sitting in front of the driver. Furthermore, Yayan has guided the road to Ubud. Finally, they reached the village of the painters.
Ubud is the village of Balinese painters. But most of them were painters, but the Caucasians from Europe and America, such as Don Antonio Blanco, Jose Miguel Covarrubias, Rudolf Bonnet. While the original painter from Bali is Cokorda Gede Agung Sukawati, whose name is now immortalized into the Sukowati Art Market. Previously, this market was used to sell paintings from artists in Bali.
Yuni was very amazed when invited to enter the Ubud painting museum. He's gobsmacked. The names of the famous painters he had read were there. Of course there are many world-class paintings.
Yudi also said, "This is a world-class painting gallery .., Papah had once had a desire to live here. Now there is no need anymore, because Papah has built a world-class gallery in Jogja."
After returning from Ubud, Yudi asked the driver to stop by Denpasar via Sanur. He will take his son and wife to Bali Orchid Garden. The most beautiful orchid garden in Bali. Of course Yudi wants to show Yayan and Silvy, the largest orchid garden in Bali.
"Russia .... Wao .... Very cool Pah .... I like something like this ..." of course Yayan and Silvy were amazed to see the beauty of Bali Orchid Garden. At least, this very large orchid garden can inspire his son in developing an orchid garden in his home.
Of course, Silvy and Yayan choose orchid seeds that have no collection at home. Surely, they chose a rare abggrek. Yayan and Silvy immediately bought. One stereofoam box full of bottles of orchid seedlings.
Satisfied Yudi can take his wife and children on a picnic. Surely a useful picnic, for Yuni as well as Yayan and Silvy. Very valuable learning is when children are shown directly on the facts that exist. Yudi smiled with satisfaction. Of course because watching Yuni who opened his insight when he saw the painters of Ubud, watching Yayan and Silvy who know orchid gardens that are truly extraordinary. That is the wisdom of educating children.
