Arrived at Sheila’s home at Jalan BB at 4.30 in the morning. Marlo was already there. He slept in the van. Woke him up, and then he went to wake Sheila up.

Finally left Sheila’s home at 5.25am, we all still felt very sleepy, having only slept for merely 2 hours after packing all the stuff in the van. Clothes, plastic tarpaulin tent, candles, milk, baby food, blankets are piled in the back of the Suzuki All Purpose Van (APV). Marlo was driving.

Picked up Gleno at Gelael Pancoran, and then straight to Cikampek toll road. Me, Gleno and Sheila slept all the way through Cipularang toll road (sorry Marlo…).

In Ciamis we stopped for breakfast at around 10.30am. We decided to eat at a restaurant called Nikmat (delicious) because it was right next to the BCA office. It was a decision we will regret for the rest of our life, hehehe…

RM Nikmat

Nikmat Restaurant. Food from hell. The vintage look of fried tofu, fried colon, dry steamed rice… and we’re miserable. Location: Ciamis, West Java.

Changed driver from Marlo to me after the very un-satisfactory breakfast. After 3+ hours driving, arrived at Kebumen. Stopped for lunch. This time the food is ok.

Changed driver to Gleno. He drove like Schumy on adrenaline rush (much like Marlo…). We finally arrived at Wates at 6.00pm. We went straight to GKJ Wates church, the coordination post for emergency relief effort for Jogja quake. At 6.30 in the evening, we finally arrived there.

Unloading stuff from van

With the help of GKJ Wates team, we unload donation stuff from the van. Location: Wates, Kulon Progo.
