Early in the Monday morning, we took KM Muria—the slow one—get back to Jepara. Since the schedule was changed easily, without any official announcement, we highly recommend you to arrive at the dock on 7.30 am. We said goodbye and great thanks for Mr. & Mrs. Mul for the service. It was a true, that they gave us warm, delightful, and excellent deal.
We took VIP class, Rp 60.250. It was full with aircon, large space seat, and quite comfortable for spending 6-7 hours antimo induced sleep floating on the sea. The non-VIP ticket prize was +/- Rp 30.000. Umm.. For those who easily have seasickness, TAKE THE VIP CLASS !!!
If you want to go back home using the faster ferry, you can leave on Sunday. It will take you to Jepara first and then back to Semarang. The duration suppose to be shorter (4-5 hours). The ticket prize, (I guess) it was the same as we use from Semarang – Karimun Jawa.
Jepara - Semarang
We arrived at Jepara on 1-2 pm. From the pier, we took becak to the bus station. The bus station was located 2-3 km from the pier. The usual becak prize was Rp 10.000. As usual: bargain.. bargain.. We took 4 becaks and we got Rp 8.000 each.:9
At the bus station, buses to Semarang were already waiting for us. The prize was Rp 11.000. The 2-3 hours trip was quiet far from the word comfortable. The bus exactly the same as Kopaja Ijo: 502 Tanah Abang – Kampung Melayu, just the superhero graffiti on the exterior made it different.
From Jepara to Semarang, we passed through these little cities: Pecangan, … (I forgot :p), and Demak. And finally, we entered Semarang. The bus didn’t stop exactly into the station. We stop at a cross. And ask to the policeman and people there: which bus could take us to Hotel Rahayu, Jl. Imam Bonjol Semarang. I think the hotel was familiar for everyone there. (Read about it below.) The bus fare was Rp 2500 – 3000. It was smaller and look alike metro mini.
Semarang, day one..
So, we finally arrived at the city. At least we found mall here, hooray !!! We arrived at the hotel; actually, we still had to walk for 30-50 m to reach that place ‘coz the bus didn’t stop exactly in front of the hotel. Talking about the hotel, we spent our night at Hotel Rahayu. And you know what ??? Here’s the definition for “hotel rahayu semarang” when you google it: tempat ciblek n penikmat seks utk bercinta—it’s a place for ciblek (acronym for kecil-keCIl geBLEK: a young girl ho’) and the customer to eff all night long. We don’t recommend that place, seriously..
We took the double bed non-aircon room. The rate was Rp 60-70.000 for two people, with a fan and a bathroom inside. Oh ya, they served you sweet morning and warm tea and information about safe sex.
That night, after we took a bath, we went to Simpang Lima to have dinner. There were many food stalls near the great mosque, across Citra Land Mall. We ate nasi kucing (small portion of white rice with smaller portion of food), bakwan malang, sate kerang, gorengan, ayam bakar, and gudeg + pecel. The price was very very very cheap. Nasi kucing cost Rp 1500; Gudeg + Pecel cost Rp 5000; Bakwan cost Rp 8000. For gorengan, each: Rp 500. After that, we went to the mall.. yay… mall… We bought some foods and beverages for our breakfast there. Tips for you: buy some breads at Gelael after 8 p.m. They will give you 30% discount! Here, you may also find fast food stalls, clothe & shoe stores, drugstores, optics, out of date cineplex theater, etc.
Me and the nasi kucing tittay-sized
After that, we went back to our hotel and yeah.. We were so tired… Sleep, that was all we need.
