Two hours had Mr. Sugeng the main driver running the Elf car in medium speed... Now they began to follow the provincial road which became the border of Central Java and East Java. This road is quite wide, smooth paved, also very crowded through various types of vehicles every day.
Before Azan Ashar, Lek No had given a warning so that the driver immediately sought a place of worship or the nearest mosque. Before long, the Elf's car turned left into a road leading to a large mosque that is quite striking in shape, because it is visible from the edge of the highway. Not only because of its large dome shape, with a bright green color. There are also 4 tall minarets flanking the four sides of the mosque. Until then I heard the azan go along, calling on his people to pause from their activities, in order to immediately carry out their duties as obedient people worship.
The courtyard of the mosque was quite spacious and was given paving blocks, so it looked clean and comfortable. On the right-left side of the mosque there is a beautiful garden with tall trees that are green and lush. Already many people waiting in the lobby in the mosque prepare to perform the Ashar prayer congregation.
Asti takes her children to the area of the prayer room specifically for women. They took turns praying while keeping Akbar and Qani . Perhaps feeling free, Qani began crawling into the front area of the mosque whose floor was made of cool, cool green marble.
" Have you prayed, Ma'am?" ask Ninuk.
" Already! " said Asti, while folding the prayer mats and mukena. his journey ... It turned out that the three of them were carrying the same face. The gift from the travel agency hajj pilgrimage belongs to Pak Haji Anwar, when they performed Umrah almost a year ago.
The ivory white mukena is made of fine and fine cotton lace. All female Umrah pilgrims from the bureau were given 3 mukena stels with soft colors other than white. That's cream and mint green. In addition they were given two large suitcases of different sizes to carry traveling there. Not to mention the various other small gifts that accompanied their departure to the Holy Land.
The bustling voices of Qani and Akbar reached the front door of the mosque, quite surprising Asti. The baby girl had crawled closer to the men's prayer area. Qani is looking for his father. Of course Akbar walked first in front of his sister as a guide.
Some of the people inside the mosque laughed at the way Qani moved quickly by crawling and approaching his father. Although it's a little far away.
Quickly Leon walked towards the crawling baby and held him. In an instant Qani was in the arms of the father who took him out of the inner area of the mosque, towards the front yard. So as not to disturb other worshipers who still pray and stay a long time in the mosque.
Ninuk continued to watch from afar, as the laps were out of their sight. There is respect, as well as admiration to see the whereabouts of her cousin's husband. When Leon kept Akbar sitting by his side, Qani was in his arms. They sat on the side of the mosque courtyard that no one else often passed.
The sight was certainly a concern of some women who came out from beside the mosque. After they finished their worship. The view of a handsome man sitting together in the courtyard of an outer mosque, with his two cute, adorable, also cute children.
His son was handsome-faced with a healthy and dense body. While Qani's round eyes with his nose pointed is a duplicate of the face of the father, Leon.
"Dec, there's Mom!" call Akbar while jumping - jovial jump.The dragon points towards Asti .
The arrival of Asti who met them, even made the women there, a little envious and jealous. The couple looked very harmonious, because the husband was handsome and dashing. While his wife still looks beautiful with a simple travel dress. It turned out that they were a very harmonious and harmonious little family.
" Where do we eat, Mommy?" ask Asti gently. While fixing Qani's dress that was a little messy. Because of the activities of his tiny baby who increasingly crawled everywhere.
" Ask our Mother's Guide Tour, dong! Is there a reference to the nearest dining place from this place!"
" Ready, Mas!" yelled Ninuk who immediately brought his backpack and notebook.
They entered the restaurant in the form of a large pendopo building, with two separate tables. Because Mr. Sugeng wants to smoke first before eating. He said if he didn't smoke his mouth sour. So they choose a table that is outside, close to the window or under the big trees in front of the restaurant.
Joko gave orders for them to eat at a restaurant on the side of the main highway first. Before heading to this area. Because the resort which is the last destination of the agreement today, is located rather remote in the outskirts of Madiun.
While the land they will free, it is very far from the residential area. Even so, there, in the village it was far from the crowd. One or two food stalls are not very adequate.
The food served in the restaurant, in general almost similar to Javanese cuisine in general such as pecel rice, soto and grilled chicken, rawon. But the taste of cuisine in this area is more daring to use a lot of spices, so it is very pronounced on the tongue. Even the sauce is very spicy.
At the table they had prepared their food choices. There are some who choose a kind of soto menu. Akbar and Leon chose the roasted chicken cobek. Mbak Ning and Bu Jum chose rice pecel with various fried foods as the complement.
For almost 1 hour they ate and rested there. Before getting in the car and continue the journey. The elves began to enter the Madiun city area. It is the fourth largest city in East Java province, after Surabaya, Malang and Kediri. Maybe tomorrow Ninuk will bring the group to travel around this city or just take a break at the resort.
Sure enough, on the outskirts of the city heading to the village of Sumber Sari, seen Pajero car driven by Pak Cakra is near the square of a mosque. The car signaled to be a guide so that they did not get lost entering the land area which is a rural area. The road is up and down and a little steep.
The two cars that go hand in hand enter a spacious courtyard that is part of the resort and hotel "Image"
Apparently, this inn combines the concept of a hotel for room rental - rooms in the main three-story building. While the concept of a villa or resort is in a building that is further away, namely on the part of the land that goes down the hills sloping.
They went down and headed for the main loby. Ninuk had already met the receptionist who had prepared a room for them, having already been booked the day before by Pak Cakra.
There is a rule, if they rent a resort the vehicle can be taken to the front of the place they rent. The plan is that they will be in this place until Wednesday.
Group to get a resort in the form of a two-story building. On the first floor there are three rooms, with one connecting room that doubles the living room and dining room. On the second floor there are also four rooms, complete with a balcony overlooking the valley in front of it.
Ninuk, Leon and Lek No began to make arrangements for the rooms they would occupy later. The largest room on the first floor will be used for Mr. Leon's family, with his two children. One room used Lek No and his wife, one room for both drivers. Each room has a bathroom inside.
On the second floor there were rooms for Bu Jum and Mbak Ning, one room for Ninuk and Putri. The other two rooms will be used by Mr. Cakra, Joko and one employee from Mr. Leon's office, Mas Typhoon.
They immediately prepared - ready to bathe for Magrib prayer. While Bu Jum started cooking rice. The hotel kitchen is only open for bookings for people staying in that place only. New restaurants and cafes open on Saturdays and Sundays only .
Fortunately in the resort kitchen they occupy provided an electric stove, and some cutlery such as plates, glasses and cutlery. So Bu Jum and Mbak Ning started taking out the cooked side dishes they prepared from home.
True the atmosphere here is somewhat cooler because the place is higher than other areas around it. Also close to new attractions, which are not up to 5 km away from the place of the inn.Tourist places that utilize the potential of the river with a heavy flow it offers a variety of exciting and latest adventures. The place began to be crowded with tourists from other regions, during holidays and weekends.
