Solo Day 1 - Selat Solo Mbak Lies

 Welcome to day-1 of #rsolotravelog.

Another travelog series: #rsolotravelog. Well, even prior posting this, when I said I was gonna post about Solo, I already received comments like, "ya elah, ke Solo aja ngapain sih pake bikin travelog?"

Well, that was my first time going to Solo, so I'd like to document it a bit. And I went to Sangiran too, and that's exciting! However, this series won't be a long one I guess.

Arriving at Adi Sumarmo. The airport was quite new, and it's already integrated with TransSolo, which is pretty handy for tourist (hemat) like me.



It's always tricky to use public transportation in cities in Indonesia. Fortunately, there's Batik Solo Trans and ride hailing like gojek and grab that made my life easier. So I only need to choose which Solo Trans bus stop the most convenient for me, and taking the ride hailing from there.

How to do it? Kira2 aja, liat bus stop yang ada di mana aja, terus diukur jaraknya yang paling deket dari hotel satu per satu. hehe. And I chose Solo Balapan train station as my stop.

Taking the ride hailing, I just need the driver to take care from there, since I had zero idea on the route. But sometimes I memorize one or two street names, so I can say something like "boleh lewat jalan A atau jalan B, tapi terserah mas aja lewat mana". lol.

13:26. I did some research on food recommendation in Solo, and the closest one to my accommodation was Selat Solo Mbak Lies

Yeah, since it's near, so I tried to go there by walking. Dan capek cuy! Near on the maps, but not that near in actual. Plus, the pedestrian was not good, like every other cities in Indonesia.

It's located inside of an aisle, in a residential area, and I thought I was lost. Bahkan di gang tersebut hanya muat untuk 1 mobil saja. Tapi ternyata bener di situ.

Finally, arrived at the restaurant. The place was very unique, especially its decoration. It reminds me of Warung Mbah Jingkrak Setiabudi somehow. It's hard to describe. It's kinda ethnique, but in a unique way.

The food was good! although they put too many raw onions. and I hate raw onions. I love the sosis solo!
