Indonesia, my beloved country, is never tired to amaze me with its natural amazement. This time I will share my experience when I went to Pindul Cave or Goa Pindul. This cave is located in Southern Yogyakarta, at Gunung Kidul area, Desa Bejiharjo to be exact. I have been to Jogja a lot of time, like seriously I would go to this city whenever I have the chance. Jogja is so amazing! I would tell the story of my visits to Jogja in other post because this post is dedicated for Pindul Cave only :)
This trip I took on last semester break, a day after my birthday so this was a birthday gift from me to myself :') Originally, it was only me, Mayang and Andra who wanted to go to Jogja to take Dana, my American friend who teaches English in SMA 2 Madiun for the whole year, to explore the city. Then, three people came along and joined our group; Kea, Ira and Hafid. We (me, Dana, Andra and Hafid) went to Jogja by train from Madiun. The ride took approximately 4 hours to get there. Arrived in the city, the rest of the group picked us up with the car we rented from my friend's Reza's colleague and we went straight to Pindul Cave. By car, the journey takes for about 2 hours from central Jogja. Since Pindul Cave is a new tourism destination, there was not much sign we could see a long the way. We then asked people how to get there. If you're not feeling confident and afraid to get lost, there are lots of people offer themselves to be your tour guide to get to Pindul Cave. They will lead you with their motorbike. We took our chance and did not take any tour guide. We were confused at first but finally we figured out how to get there by asking random person we met on the way, I personally gave them my sweetest smile in return. Hahaha.
