MY HOLIDAY AT CIREBON

              Last holiday, my family and I visited “Keraton Kasepuhan” in Cirebon. Keraton Kasepuhan is located not far from Pasar Kanoman, one of the market in Cirebon.

 

            We went there by train. We left for Cirebon at 8.30 a.m. and arrived at Cirebon Railway Station forty-five minutes later. Many becak drivers were offering their services to some passengers when we were out the railway station.

            We were very excited that finally we were in Cirebon. Soon we walked to Kanoman Street. We decided to eat soto as our breakfast. We were enjoying the soto while inhaling the fresh air. Not many vehicles were passing by that morning.

            At about 9.30 we headed to Keraton Kasepuhan on foot. We were chatting along the way. We talked about our experiences in the train. We also talked about Pasar Kanoman. We saw many people passing by and some other bargaining things. Many becak drivers were waiting for people to ride on their becaks.

            We arrived at “Keraton Kasepuhan” ten minutes later. My sister and I were amazed at the building. I couldn’t wait to see what was inside the building. My sister and I were taking some photographs when my mother bought the entrance tickets for all of us. The tickets were cheap enough. 

  

            There were one big palace and a large yard. There were children playing at the yard when we arrived. They all looked cheerful. My sister wanted to join them, but I told her to do it later. Then, we looked one of the most buildings, named “House Of The Sultan”. We saw information boards showing what people could see in the building.

            We spent there at least two hours in Keraton Kasepuhan. We left the place after having lunch together. We were very tired, but we were very happy.
