HOLIDAY TO GRANDPARENT’S HOUSE

Last year holiday of Lebaran I went to Surabaya visiting my grandmother and grandfather.

I had to go there because the previous holiday I wasn’t there.

I missed them so much because I lived with them when I was a child.

At that time both of my parents had to go to another city to earn money so they left me with my grandma and grandpa. After graduated from junior high school, I follow my parents living at Jakarta. Since that, I had visited them only at holiday time.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have any ticket of either train and plane so that I went to Surabaya by bus. It was so tiring

because the traffic was too crowded and stagnant.

Normally, the trip needs around 24-28 hours

but my trip at that time took 40 hours from Jakarta to Surabaya. That made me mad.

The madness and tiredness during the trip had gone after I met my grandma and grandpa. They were looked old. I was so happy knowing them in healthy condition.

Last weekend, I visited my pen pal's house. His Name is Anto. There were many activities I did there. In the morning, Anto and I had breakfast. We had traditional food. I liked it very much.

After breakfast, he took me to the garden behind his house. The garden was very big and beautiful. There is a big bird cage in the garden. There were many kinds of birds in that cage. I spent a long time feeding the birds. I also took pictures with those beautiful birds.

After visiting the bird cage, Anto and I went to the flower garden not far from his house. We took a rest and had lunch under a big tree and watch butterflies flying above colourful flowers. In the afternoon, we swam in the pool in the backyard. It was so fun. I really enjoyed my time with Anto.
