The 03.15 Expedition

It is travelling that has becoming the FusionJogja team shared activity and hobby. It doesn't matter of how far, with whom we may get or what surprising spots that we might find, we almost every time may go and get a new destination to travel together just like what we experience with our tour this month.

In this May, one of the team mate shared that a beautiful sunrise in Candi Boko would be worthy to see during the dawn. In short, everyone agreed to see the sunrise together. One thing about this plan was that we should got up so earlier than our normal schedule since we should depart at 03.15 am so that we might not be late to see the sun wake up at 05.00 am in Candi Boko.

The appointment was fulfilled, everyone got in time to depart at the point of gathering that we had agreed before. There was no need to take such a long time to wait everyone untill we depart from an area near Sanata Dharma University at Jogja to Candi Boko at 03.30 am. Along the way, we were excited of how it feels to see such legendary sunset from Candi Boko. The curios feeling was suddenly stop as we found that the gate was closed and there was no other possibility that the gate will be open untill 06.00 am, which meant that we would lost the unforgettable moment of sunrise in Candi Boko.

Fortunately, an idea just came up from one of us to see the sunrise from another temple or Candi that was still in the same coverage area. Together then we decided to replace Candi Boko to Candi Barong. It didn't take until fifteen minutes to reach our new destination. The temple might different with Candi Boko but there was totally no absolute reason for us not to enjoy our new finding temple

Cups of tea and snacks were  then accompanying our shared moment in Candi Barong.

Such beautiful yet hidden temple of Candi Barong. A very nice place for capturing our shared dawn to morning time. At last it didn't matter for us whether or not we were succeeded to chasing after the sunrise, as it was cloudy in that whole of morning.
