Sebuah wisata tak terencana, begitu aku menyebutnya. Bermula dengan melancong ke Banjarnegara untuk pertemuan keluarga. Papa mertua berasal dari sana dan sudah lama tak bersua dengan saudara-saudaranya. Jadilah kami berangkat dengan kereta dari Jakarta.

Setibanya di Banjar, kami uda disambut dengan pemandangan indah yang mengelilingi lokasi kami menginap, Surya Yudha Park. Usai acara temu kangen seharian penuh, sepupuku bercerita mengenai tempat ini. Dieng. Dataran tinggi yang ramai dikunjungi orang dan letaknya tak jauh dari Banjarnegara. It sits at 2,000 metres above sea level, dan konon namanya berasal dari Di Hyang yang artinya Abode the Gods.

Singkat cerita kami memutuskan ke sana keesokan harinya. And I'm totally speechless once I arrived. Menikmati momen sunrise di Dieng adalah keputusan spontan yang sungguh tak terlupakan. Menyambut matahari yang begitu cantik. Birunya langit yang mampu menenangkan hati yang pahit. Membuatku ribuan kali bersyukur bahwa Tuhan membiarkanku melihat semua keindahan alam yang tak dapat diciptakan dengan tangan manusia.

I call this another unplanned trip. Start with visiting Banjarnegara for family meeting. My father in law was born in Banjar and in many years he could not meet his siblings. He's kinda home sick I could say. So we took a train from Jakarta.

Upon our arrival we were welcomed by pretty scenery that surround place where we stay, Surya Yudha Park. After whole day gathering session, my cousins told me about this place. Dieng. A marshy plateau which always full of tourists and it's not far from Banjarnegara. It sits at 2,000 metres above sea level and allegedly Dieng's name come from Di Hyang, means Abode the Gods.

We decided to go there the day after. And I'm totally speechless once I arrived. Seek for sunrise in Dieng is a spontaneous decision that I won't be able to forget. Greet a gorgeous morning sun happily. Stare to a pretty blue sky. I feel so grateful that God let me see this wonderful view that can't be carved by humans hand.
