Where to go: Palembang

Actually its been a several months since I went to Palembang, Indonesia, I already forget the detail bout the trip but i would like to share some of the pics and things that I still remember :D

Me and my other two friend took the train from Bandar Lampung to Palembang from Tanjung Karang train station. We departed at 9 p.m and arrive in Palembang approximately at 8 a.m. Our friends picked up us in the train station. Well..for your information, Palembang is extremly HOT..literally XD .

 The greatest part of this city, of course,the food especially the very well-known 'mpek-mpek'. Our friends took us to this restaurant called Vico *just across the Palembang Indah Mall*. Actually there are alot of famous mpek2 restaurant, but this one also offered a very delicious drink, I dont know how to call it..red bean ice? Well..something like that. :)

 

Then we took some tour to the Gelora Sriwijaya, the venue of South East Asian Games 2011.

We spent the night at the side Musi river, The longest river in Sumatera island, enjoying the view of Ampera bridge at night.

 

 

On the second day, we went to the Kemaro island, a delta in the middle of Musi river. It took about 30-40 minute by boat to reach this place. This place is known for the Legend of Forever Love *Go check the story your self*. You can see a temple and pagoda there, and people can also go for a picnic with family in here :).

.

Well..it was a short good trip to Palembang. I didn't got the chance to explore the city very much. But hey, good friends, good foods, great holiday and a lot of pictures to remember it all, what else can you ask right? ;)
