a little reunion trip to pramuka islands and its friends

3a.m -- packing

wake up. it's packing packing time. then shower time. thanks god my fever has gone away.

5a.m -- pick up

time to pick up. first stop is a place to shop anything in short time (read minimart). after i buy enough supplies for us to survive on the boat, we're ready to go to muara angke.

6.15a.m -- on the way

oh no, we're stuck. we decide to get out of car and continue by foot. luckily, muara angke is near. start to smell something fishy fishy. the stink smell only appear at first (fiuuuhh,, can't imagine how my morning nose fells like). then, we continue by taking hmmmm what's called, a motorcycle with enough 8 seats on back + 2 seats at front + 1 seat for the driver. it costs 5k per person. we arrive at the place where many people in groups carrying bags. let's called them local tourist who wants to get holiday away from the city. dhani is our connector in this trip, wherever we go, we follow him. the boat we took almost full. i dunno where should we sit. luckily, i bring 2pcs newspaper and several plastic bags that can be used to avoid our dirty pants while seating.

7.30a.m -- the journey

the boat is moving, yaiyyy. i see dolphins :o

our spot on the boat

10.25a.m -- arrive

here we cooome

wait for the guy to meet us and lead us to our sleep place. arrive at the guesthouse. welcoming with hot sweet tea and 'gorengan'. enough with 'leyeh-leyeh' moment then we change our outfit with ready to wet it.

11.30a.m -- lunch

our lunch (and breakfast) menu. squid fried with flour. mini shrimp with spicy taste :((. many kinds vegetables. watermeloooon.

12.20p.m -- on the boat again

after we pick our fin size, google, life-jacket, we're on the boat again. first we are taken to look around the sea, sky, and islands. in outside means i can blow bubbles.

01.45p.m -- meet 'elang bondol'

stop on an island where 'elang bondol' are being healed. this creature is endangered species, for some people who doesn't understand they keep it as a pet. some of them was being injured on the wings so they can't flew away. the owner makes them like in prison. while we look around, we got caught by the local authorities that said we're come without permission letter.

reminds me of maple tree (another random click click)

2.15p.m -- snorkeling

it's my first time. kind of forget how to swim, how to breathe on the water. it turns out breathing under water is really hard and heavy. plus the googles is not friendly to me. the glass view is not as clear as my everyday view. plusss my foot always cramps, can't swim freely :(duh): so i become a remora (remember some episode on the crazy ones), have to attache to something or in this case i have to attached to one of my friends (sorry pals)

3.30p.m -- laaaand :)

got a chance to get in touch with sea urchin or we called it 'bulu babi'

16.30p.m

back on the boat again. now with young coconuts.

17.25p.m

a little snorkle to visit a little sand island. long enough for me to remember what that thing called. it's like a little island that i visited at alor,ntt. among the sea, there's a little sand popping. laguna (i think that's what it called). but my big bro called it delta. i dunno which one is the right.

17.55p.m

another hop on island. now it's time to enjoy the young coconut without straw and spoon. too bad, only hop a few minutes, then back to the sea. me continue enjoy the coco on boat. it's time to go back. we are tired, sit while enjoy the sunset wind. there's no sunset :(

7.30p.m ++

wait the queue shower time. playing cards. i teach them how to play speed and seven spade. dinner's arrive. the menu is tasty. 'sayur asem'. 'ikan bandeng bakar'. 'ayam pedas'. why there's spicy food :():

around 9 or 10 p.m

they fall asleep. whattt. it's still early. i don't feel any sleepy yet. this moment we should chit chat about anything. catching up the missing years. or what i called the deep conversation. yeeahhh, but what can i do, our body is not strong as it used to be. maybe they don't get used to be one full day activity. thankfully, i am healthy, not feeling any fever at all. i was afraid, because suddenly last night i got high fever. maybe it's because i used to be to do a whole day outside activity by join college excursion on isolated area. while waiting my body feel asleep, i chit chat with fel. thankfully i could sleep not so long after that.

another day 6.30a.m

whoaaa they got up early. also my body. is it because my daily routine that makes me have to wake up at 7a.m. the schedule for today is not clear enough. dh said we can do anything what we like. but by giving that option to someone like us is really wasting time. we are whatever person. instead nothing to do, i make them get move move.

8.00a.m -- meet 'penyu'

 we're walking to some place that breeding turtles (i think the english word is wrong, what i mean is 'penyu'). kind of a long walking.

9a.m -- jump into sea

what i want is beach with clean sand. but the guide said the spot is full of people. hmmm... the spot that he means is the spot that just we walk through. i see no full people. hmmm... maybe there's a mangrove near that spot that we can't go near. now i see that this pramuka island really have small sand beach. the plus of this island is when you jump on the water even on the edge you can see clear water with many little fish swim in it. then the next thing is we jump on the water again. our foot got bite by some fish. the feeling of screaming 'a aw aaa aaww a aw' is funny though. the more i see what's inside the water the more i know and afraid that many fish around my foot.

10.am-11a.m -- journey back home

time to shower. psss this morning before we meet 'penyu' none of us take a bath. because we know we will get wet again. packing and prepare in hurry cause we afraid that we don't get the best spot on the boat. the truth is we don't want to sit outside again. because it's already sunny, our skin could be tanner. and the sun after 10 a.m is not healthy. me and ti walk firstly in hurry to catch up to get the best spot. as we saw many groups walk towards the same direction as us. the closer i get, my brain thinking, which boat should we take? we don't know. we're just followers. this is so useless to walk forward but having no information about what to do. feels like we don't have any brain huh. thankfully, the guide lead me and ti to the right boat. he was thinking the same way as i am. he afraid if i don't know which boat should we get on. between up and down, we prefer down. because in down the sun shines indirectly. and we can still feel the wind blowing too. yaiyyy we got the good spot.

2.30p.m -- lunchy

touchdown jakarta. we're got picked up by my big bro. next destination is food. i imagine we'll eat around pluit or pik, because it's near to airport. but a little references we have. plus asking my big bro, the answer is always ducking. between 'bebek yogi' or 'bebek slamet' we chose the second. it's perfect food for our hungry tummy.

5.30p.m -- see ya tik! 

time is up. tik has go back to semarang. while there's time to wait for her flight, we decide to get ice cream at a&w's. the ice easy to melt.

7p.m -- i'm hooome
