Rumput Hotel Resort & Resto Yogyakarta

Like I said, a lot of place we'd planned on going were closed for the reason. Me and my husband usually visit a place because of its natural beauty, and Jogjakarta has no shortage of hotels will make our rounds and seeing them a whole day of fun. Not excessive if I have to say I see my dreams of fantastic honeymoon here. As a promised, I finally share our experience staying at Rumput Hotel Resort & Resto on my blog...

Positioned in 30 minutes from Malioboro and 20 minutes from Adisutjipto Airport, The Rumput Hotel is one of a natural and beautiful hotel in Jogjakarta. Believe me, just the act of walking around the hotel ; the verdant green, the incredibly charming ethnical houses, the wooden table and chair did much to shed away our exhaustion. The vibe of the hotel was so relaxed. We got to enjoy the scenery in peace. Other makes this place so special are the staff, I feel like I'm visiting very cool family friends. Truly the environmentally friendly hotel.

Yeah, they are manifest the whole concept of eco-labelling in tourism. In the morning, breakfast at 7 am, I'm sipping hot tea and my husband with a cup of black coffee. We are devouring some delicious organic food ; wheat bread with pineapple jam, pudding without sugar, mushroom sushi, and some fruits. It was perfect but don't look for meat here, LOL....

The Rumput Hotel was a magical place that I absolutely fell in love since the first day we were here. The place that I won't forget and will go back to. We left this hotel with heart full of happiness. I'd suggest for every couple in marriage Rumput Hotel Resort & Resto. They will make you fall in love with each other all over again...

Visit a Sunday Market - Surabaya Town Square

Everyone loves to find vintage clothes and accesories to wear or unique furniture to decorate their room. And why something unique and vintage become so popular ??? Because it's more fun when we shop, nobody else owns or can wear the same. And it's only to be found at The Vintage Store or Thrift-Store. (You must also read Pasar Barang Antik Triwindu Solo )

• There's an awesome and display of everybody's favourite.
• The clothes are well organized and divided by decade and size.
• We'll see vintage pieces mixed in with the name brands.
• We could get a piece of decent quality at there more cheaper than what we had pay for the same at the big store.
• If we lucky, we'll find great deals on shoes that look almost new.

Actually I didn't almost all my shopping at The Vintage Store or Thrift-Store even I realized that sometimes the stuffs from The Vintage Store or Thrift-Store be better than stuffs from other store listed. I just love to digging around in a pile to find some fabulous cute-antique stuff, and keeping an eye out to buy something priceless clothes to add to my wardrobe. But I'm shy of haggling for a better price so I need a friend for that.

My friend Ira and I have lots of things in common, including our love of thrift store. I clearly remember the day when we walked into a Sunday Market at Surabaya Town Square with the intention of finding the vintage stuff for cheap. We were walked around, we had been looking for clothes and skirts, touched a few clothes, run our hands along the clothes to feel them, picked up one or two, and finally walked out with empty handed, lol. So confused, there are so many things that we want. They have everything for sale, lol. 

But i swear, no matter how valuable or glamorous the modern, the antique and vintage stuff always simply special :)
