Borobudur Village Cycling Tour + Pottery and Batik Making

Most of the influencers (aside from those who don’t know how to bike) got super excited when we saw the bikes lined up with matching blue balloons on the starting point of the tour in Wanurejo Village. I’ve been biking since I was in the elementary years and my family loves cycling too making us own a few bicycles in our house in the Philippines. This makes me more eager to join this activity here in Yogyakarta.

 Now which bike should I pick.

 Finally found my match! With Leya, Haley and Kimi

 Trying to be cool on a very hot day. With Ate Lillian at the back riding like a pro! 

The bicycle tour will let us see not just the rural atmosphere but as well as the scenery of the rice fields and plantation, which is mostly where, the bread and butter of the villagers come in.

 Skills! One hand drive while doing a selfie shot hahaha!

 Yes Kirk??

Keep left as the guide tells us, making us lined up whenever somebody stops. Now time for some selfie! 

 The farm view in the village. 

 Say hi to Youtube Rockstar – Haley Dasovich

 Everyones enjoying it! 

 With the lovely couple Thomas and Kimi. They are such a power Instagram couple! I think it’s time to look for a partner who knows how to take a shot?! LOL!

 Thanks Thanis for this not-so-candid shot! 

 Becky is always wacky! 

 Vesta really knows what to wear in all of our activities! She pops in the crowd of greens. 

 Another way to enjoy the village is via this ride. Look thats Lissa and Rijal on a horse ride. 

 Raise the roof Kimi! Say hi to Haley’s camera! 

 I intended to slow down to have my moment at the bridge. 

 Sasha and Thanis posing like a pro! 

 With Sasha, Leya, Thanis and Vesta

 Tip from Vesta is to google first the location for you to be able to prepare a matching outfit for the venue! Got that wholeheartedly! 

 Time for some photoshoot!  With Photographer Thomas and subjects Kimi, Haley and Pat. 

 I was lucky to stand beside Leya for upon seeing the shot series, I think Kama intentionally took photos of Vesta and Leya. Lucky shot for me! (In the photo: Vesta, Leya, Gzul, Becky and Rijal)

Groupie!  Trip of Wonders Batch 3

It was a 3km exploration starting in Karangrejo Village up to our end point at Pendopo Tingal, which is where a small snack, and a few more activities are waiting.

Light snacks that are mostly composed of rice cakes, cassava and banana were served at the end point. The food was kind of resembles the usual “kakanin” here in the Philippines. But what I love the most was the refreshing ginger based tea they were serving.

After the break we were encourage to try doing the batik and pottery making. I was more enthusiastic to try the pottery making, thou I felt that I didn’t do well in making one. It’s just sad that the pottery I made didn’t reach Manila in one whole piece. hehehe

 It was a tiring but an amazing day one in Yogyakarta. After the activity we head straight to Atria Hotel Magelang to check in, rest and have dinner. Tomorrow is another long day for we are to start at 3 in the morning!

Here is a video of our fun Cycling tour!
