Oleh : Gustaf Qabil Dhamiri (8F)

Hello everyone, introducing my name is Gustaf Qabil Dhamiri, I will share my pleasant experience yesterday when I went to Jogjakarta with Grade 8 students of Junior High School of Tuban to study literacy. it all started when I was at home preparing the items that I would take with me for a trip to Jogjakarta, after all the items were prepared I put them in my bag.
at 17.00 I started heading to school, at school I also talked with my friends to wait for the bus to come, after the bus arrived all grade 8 students were gathered in the middle of the field to be briefed and prayed before leaving, after the briefing all students were told get on the bus and put their belongings in the bus garage in turn,
After everything is finished the bus starts to leave for the location it will go to, namely Yogyakarta, the travel time is approximately around 7 to 8 hours.
I sat with my classmate named Syafiq. he is very very exciting, funny, and loves to joke. during the trip too many children volunteered to sing so that the travel time would not be boring, after the children had fun on the bus everyone started to fall asleep because the sky was starting to show night time.
Only half way through the bus suddenly stopped at the toll road rest area, and the children woke up and I woke up too. I got off the bus to look for the bathroom and after I was like I was looking for a minimarket, at the minimarket I shopped for things in the form of snacks for snacks on the way so it wouldn’t be boring, from the minimarket I returned to the bus and the bus started traveling again.

Breakfast In Sekar Kedhaton Restaurant

After a long journey, the bus arrived at the Sekar Kedhaton restaurant at 04.30, where all the students got off to perform the morning prayer at the mosque. the children went in to eat before heading to the rafting place after everyone had finished eating the party from elo rafting came to do checking and briefings, we were also invited to exercise as a warm-up so we wouldn’t get sleepy on the way, also taking pictures with the coaches.

In Elorivers Adventure/Elo Rafting

Public transportation started arriving with rubber boats placed on top of the numbers. The children were told to take turns getting on the public transportation.
When traveling from the Sekar Kedhaton restaurant to elo rafting I also enjoyed the view of the city of Magelang, after arriving at the Elo River we were told to wear safety equipment such as helmets and life jackets, after everyone arrived we were lined up for a briefing before going down to the river and boarding the boat rubber boats, where we are taught how to hold the dipper and sit properly while in the rubber boats, after everything is explained the children are told to take turns going down to the river to get on the rubber boats, the children are told to sit under the rubber with their roommates, one boat rubber can accommodate 5 people, 1 professional rower and 4 visitors.
there I boarded the last boat, even though I was still happy and was able to catch up with my friends who had boarded first, there I went along the Elo River for 10 km accompanied by a professional rower, and it turned out that the professional rower was very fun to joke with so that the four of us in a room were not bored when rowing to catch up with friends who had gone down the river first, there we passed through a very fast river current and our clothes were all wet because we were hit by a very fast water current which collided with the rubber boat lining, in the middle on our journey we stop somewhere to drink very fresh coconuts so that our stamina and physique don’t run out while rowing 10 km, another excitement is when we meet each other’s boats, we splash each other, after we go down the river elo, we also arrived at the last stop, after arriving at the place the last stop we went up again to find the angkot that we were riding earlier, after meeting the cabbage we went back to the Sekar Kedhaton Restaurant, there was more excitement when riding the cabbage, because the cabbage was going fast without the slightest scrambling, and finally we arrived again at Sekar Kedhaton restaurant.
