Family Holiday In Padang (Liburan Keluarga Di Padang)

Last year, my big family and I went to my uncle’s hometown in Padang. My uncle’s
house was in Bukit Tinggi. We departed from Bengkulu on Saturday afternoon and
arrived at Kota Padang on Sunday at 1 p.m. The first thing that we did when we
arrived in Kota Padang was visiting Masjid Raya Sumatera Barat. We took a pray in
that huge mosque and after that we took some picture in that place with the mosque
as the background. We finished our sightseeing in the mosque area at 2 p.m and
after that we headed to the center of Kota Padang to look for lunch. After several
minutes, we decided to stop at a Warung Bakso Urat. After finishing our lunch, we
continued our trip to Bukit Tinggi.

We arrived at my uncle house in Baso subdistrict at 10 in the evening. It was away

too late from our schedule because there was an extreme traffic jam on our way to
Baso. Our grandmother was waiting in front of the house when we arrived. We
parked the car in front of the house and I brought all of our belongings down from
the car and took them to our room. After that we all had dinner together because
our grandmother had prepared so many kinds of delicious food in the kitchen. After
finishing our dinner, we went to bed because we were all very tired.
In the morning, I and all of my cousins went out for jogging. We walked around the
neighborhood. We saw an empty mosque in the neighborhood and also some empty
houses. None of us was brave enough to get close to those buildings because they
seemed creepy. We kept on walking until we reached the main road. We took some
pictures in front of the street portal. After that we went back to my uncle’s house.
When we arrived at my uncle’s house, we had breakfast together and after that one
by one of us took a bath because there were only three bathrooms in the house.
When we were all ready, we went to a tourism place close to my uncle’s house
named Sungai Janiah. The place was 5 minutes away from my uncle’s house. We had
to buy a ticket to enter the place. Inside the place, there was a very large pond. We
saw so many giant fish in the pond. We bought some fish food from a merchant
inside the location and threw it into the pond so that the giant fish would get closer
to us. We took some picture in the location with the pond and the giant fish as the
background. There were also so many monkeys in that place.
From the tourism place of Sungai Janiah, we went to the center of Bukit Tinggi where
we saw the famous Jam gadang. We took some pictures in front of Jam Gadang. I
bought a toy from a merchant at Jam Gadang. I decided to buy it because the toy
was a skeleton of a bird that could show the simple concept of flying machine and I
was very interested to learn about it. After a couple of minutes wandering around
Jam Gadang, we went to a traditional shop of Nasi Kapau. The shop was located in a
market near Jam Gadang. It was very unique, because in that location we could find
so many shops providing the same menu but they were owned by different people,
and the concept of the market made it look like it was one huge restaurant. After
that we went back to our uncle’s house.
The next day, we prepared ourself in the morning because we were going to have a
very long journey to some tourism locations which were located far away from Bukit
Tinggi. Our first destination was Lembah Harau. This place looked like the Grand
Canyon in America with a huge stone mountain around. There was also a waterfall in
the center of the place where so many visitors took some pictures. The valley is very
beautiful, I felt like I was in another planet because the scenery was similar to the
one that I saw in Star Wars movie. We went to a spot where we could capture the
beauty of the valley and took a family photo in that place.
Our next destination was Danau Maninjau. In order to have a wide view over the
lake, my uncle decided to take us to Lawang Park which located on the mountain
next to the lake. The view was very beautiful. I took some selfie in that place. I was
very happy because I think my photo was very awesome and I believed that my
friends in Bengkulu would be envy when they saw it. When we were in Lawang Park,
we also saw some paragliding passing by on the sky. I wanted to try it so much, but
my mother said that we had to go to our next destination. I was a little upset, but i
didn’t say it.
