Amusing moments in Solo

One time when on a road trip from Jogja to Bandung, I briefly stopped in the city of Solo (or it could also be called Surakarta) to meet a friend at a coffee shop. In our short meeting, my friend invited me to go around seeing Solo. There are some interesting things that might also be an idea to include in the itinerary if one day you want to go to Solo! :) Street Art Mural Gallery along Jalan Gatot Subroto. It turns out that cool murals don't only exist in Australia or Singapore, in Solo there is also a street art gallery that is no less iconic and stunning! Here you can find murals with pictures of famous Indonesian figures: from celebrities to politicians. There's even Kurt Cobain mural too! Enjoy Dawet Ice in the yard of Kratonan Solo. Es dawet is one of the typical Javanese drink recipes. It tastes sweet and fresh. Ice Dawet traders in Kratonan Solo usually sell from 9 am to 3 pm. Sekutu Kopi Solo. The place is nice, there are 3 floors and there is a smoking area on the 3rd floor. The signature drink is delicious. I had a chance to try the cookies which my friend said were delicious.. and they were really good! Especially the brownies! :) #summervacation#urbanexplorer
