Trip to Yogyakarta - Kota Gede

Our first stop was Kota Gede, a silver smith town nearby. We traveled to Kota Gede by becak. We met a very nice and old becak's man (tukang becak) and he didn't impose an expensive cost.

(This is Mr. Sumarno, our becak's man)












We visited a big shop and they showed us how to make crafty art from silver. No wonder all stuff made from silver are sold with an expensive price. You have to have precision, accuracy and ability to make a beautiful craft.



























There are a beautiful restaurant nearby the silver smith shop. But we didn't go in there, because it looks expensive, besides it's still early to have lunch.














After visiting silver smith, we traveled to a chocolate factory, Chocolate Monggo. It was built by a Belgian Man. We saw its factory and its packaging area also. The chocolate taste good.
