A Day Visit to Yogyakarta 

Last week, I went to Yogyakarta with my family. My father drove the car. My mother sat beside him. My sister and I sat in the back seats.

We woke up early in the morning. My father prepared the car in the garage while mother was preparing food for breakfast and some snack for us. My sister and I packed some clothes. After everything got ready and we had our breakfast, we left the house at six o’clock.

It was about nine a.m. We arrived at Yogyakarta. First of all we visited our uncle. We stayed there for an hour. Then we went to Parangtritis beach. We got there at eleven. There were a lot of tourists there because it was a holiday. I saw many foreign visitors too. My parents watched us playing with sand in the beach. We did not swim and take a bath since the wave was rough. After having lunch, we went on our picnic to the museum and Malioboro shopping centre. We drove back to Semarang at 7 o’clock and arrived home at ten.

We were tired but happy.
