The day of sailing the Musi river
Sunday, April 29th, 2007Yay, finally today I have time to enjoy Palembang, sightseeing of Palembang city. Thank you for Ayu and her "friend" who invite me and Wena to see the city ^_^
This morning me and Wena go to church together (Ayu, why do you lazy to go to church? The God is asking, hehehe) by "becak", traditional transportation in Palembang (cannot find "becak" anymore in Jakarta, but it is really nice to have a nostalgy). At church we saw a cute baby brought by her mother to get blessed from the father, she is really cute…. But we cannot find her anymore after the church (Wena don’t kidnap the baby ^_^), really wanna pinch her puffed up cheek.
After waiting few hours, finally Ayu come out to my hotel with her "friend". Yu, we are waiting for such a long time, hope it don’t disturb you ^_^
We have great time, sailing Musi river using speed boat to a small island in the middle of the river. Just enjoy the wind and the water of Musi river, hahaha… We pass the "Ampera" bridge and "Sriwijaya" fertilizer factory, one of the biggest factory in Indonesia.
There is a small temple at the island, many people go to the temple during "Cap Go Meh" festival, also half built pagoda . Maybe it’s not crowded today because it’s not a special day to go to a temple.
We feel so dirty and wet because of the water from the river, so…. next stop is salon ^_^
Before that, I get a chance to take a picture with "Ampera" bridge, the famous bridge in Palembang, I heard this is the longest bridge at Indonesia (correct me if I’m wrong!)
I wash my hair and do creambath, really nice, this is one way to do "brain wash", and Wena cut her hair.
Finally we back to hotel and go out to have dinner at one cafe at Palembang Square. Some of Wena’s friend is joining the dinner. Really nice and friendly, we laugh and talk about many things while having dinner. Makes me remember during the "old" days with my "old" friends while I stay in Medan and Surabaya for such a long time. Miss you all guys…. ^_^
It’s raining again! So, Wena’s friend send me back to hotel by car, actually it’s just a few step from the mall, but I don’t want to make my hair wet anymore (like yesterday) coz i has just do creambath! Thank’s guys for sending me home, hope we can chat again in Jakarta, nice to share the time with you….
Regards,
Girl @ Palembang
