The long holiday to welcome Christmas and New Year together with the odd semester holidays has arrived and the long distance touring that I and my wife have long dreamed of has finally come true. By traveling for two days on two wheels, we had to stay overnight in two different places to shorten the trip, save energy and many other considerations, and today is my first day in Payakumbu City, the accommodation I went to was the cheapest accommodation and has a good view compared to other accommodation in Payakumbu City.
The homestay room we chose had free breakfast for two people with television, fan and AC facilities and an en suite bathroom priced at IDR. 150,000. it's very cheap in this city. Even though this homestay is on the side of the road, I can see a very strong village atmosphere in this homestay, the owner is also very friendly to my wife and I, but don't try to come here if the couple is not married. because at this place we have to show our marriage certificate.
When I see this dining room I feel very calm and it makes it hard for me to get full, because the gentle wind that hits my skin from the direction of the rice fields makes me want to eat again and again. The view is so enchanting with the rice trees starting to turn yellow and ready to be harvested, making the placement of this restaurant very perfect for the design of this home stay, and what is even more surprising is the presence of a freshwater fish pond in front of the hotel room which makes me really comfortable. in this place. The various colored fish that sway and sway as if they keep teasing me, I want to catch them for lunch, it doesn't feel wrong as long as the owner doesn't find out...ha..ha
This fish pond was made of wooden borders which were made very aesthetic then this design also succeeded in blending with the ceramic outside of the hotel which has a wooden design so that the traditional Indonesian concept was successfully created in this homestay, then the outer walls of this homestay were made precisely as a design that is sweetens and perfects the traditional concept itself, even though if you look at it from inside the room, this homestay has a permanent building.
Now I will show you all the room. The room I chose was a standard room type, because here there are also room types available at different prices, of course. There are two pillows, 1 bed, 1 television, 1 fan and 1 AC here. However, there is no hot water available for bathing, you have to settle for a cold shower, but don't worry, this city still has a tropical climate so cold water is very refreshing for the body. In this room there is also a small cupboard to put our things. This room is spacious enough for a while and just the two of us.
Not only that, in this room there are also bamboo mats available instead of carpets so that the traditional concept doesn't just disappear, even though the ceiling of the room needs a little maintenance because it disturbs my view, but overall it's not a problem for me because for me the important thing is a comfortable bed. And oh yes, I almost forgot that in front of this hotel there is also a gas station so it's not difficult to fill up with fuel. Beside the home stay, there are also mini markets and restaurants with very delicious menus at very cheap prices.
And after this I will explore a lot in this city. you guys have to wait for me with these many places that I will share during my vacation. Happy end of year greetings to you tomidiwirja.
