Ujung Kulon Trip

August 31st, 2015

Hello...it's my new blog. Freshly new, to share every moments that I have in my life whether about traveling, culinary and make-up in my life.

Let's start with my journey last time to Ujung Kulon with my friends. We've planed it from early this month, yet we just booked it D-4 before D-Day, well that's us..haha. We booked it from Ujung Kulon Wild , to be honest we're paying it too expensive (different with the price that's written on the website) maybe that's because we booked it D-4 but thank Allah that my friends wanna pay for it because we're paying not only for the trip but also the journey, experiences and happiness that can't be bought with anything *tssaahhh.

Day1 (August 28th, 2015)

We're meeting at Sarinah, Thamrin at 21:00 and leaving at 22:00, our driver arrived late, because he faced traffic jam. We're supposed to leave at 21:00 (or 21.:30 at least) but we're leaving at 22:00. Thanks to Antimo that's makes me easily sleep on our way to Sumur. My friends said that the driver drove the car so rough that made them had to change change their seat position because it's too hurt for them.

Day2 (August 29th, 2015)

We're arrived at Sumur early in the morning (maybe at 04:30) take a nap for a moment and leaving from Sumur to Cigenter River at 07:00. Here's sneak peak from our trip on Day2

It's said that if you want to see this fellas, you can see them at 06:00-08:00 am and 05:00-06:00 pm

This's a wave that makes us oscillate for 3 hours at the sea

Sunset from the sea

we're finishing our trip at 04:00 pm when we're on our way back to resort, we've to face a heavy wave that took us 3hours to reach land!! My friend, Alfon, already had a teary eyes and saying "Allahu Akbar", I'm already freeze enough, forgot to bring my jacket yet finally able to sleep because my friends willing to change seat with me and Agnez, my girl friend, to seat on the top of boat mechine, even though that seat is in front of toilet, but that's the warmest spot after a small room that's already full with the others. Finally, Alhamdulillah then we're arrived at Ciputih Beach Resort at 08:00 pm, took a bath then had our dinner and had a game with the orthers. Also we're going to sleep around 11:00 pm.

Day3 (August 30th, 2015)

We had our breakfast at 07:00 am, because we're so tired, no one is able to see sunset! those heavy wave that we faced yesterday really made us tired! at 08:00 am we're heading to Oar Island for our first snorkeling. 

In Oar Islan, the spot isn't too beautiful to be honest, also there're lots of jellyfishes. One of my friend got stung by jellyfish while snorkeling. He had red mark around his neck that's visible to see and some swollen bumps on his left face. Then I remembered that I'm bringing my EMC (Egyptian Magic Cream) *I'm gonna post about this on another post* and I tell him to try to put it and luckily those red mark and swollen bumps that's appear around his neck and on his left face quickly disappear! He's also didn't feel any hot and itchy anymore (sorry, no picture attached, but that's for sure). The funny thing happened after he put those cream, my another friend's snorkeling bag to put in his fins and all suddenly drop to the sea and he's only looking at it but me and Agnez already scream that's his stuff! And quickly Harsha jump into the sea to get it back and the boat have to stop for a moment. His reason not to quickly jump is because he's also holding the other one, so that bag won't jump to the ocean too.

For the second spot, we went to Mangir Island. In here the wind start to blew so hard, not so easy to snorkel and swimming to reach the land, I have to wear life vest because my friend told me so, but then I realize, life vest while swimming just makes me difficult to move, to swim. In here, I'm the only one who did a silly thing. I almost lost my friend's action camera!! So I made my friends panic to help me search those camera before it's too late, luckily, again, Harsha is the one who found it! But he's also the one who made a prank and told everybody not to tell me that he's already found it.. *grrr....* but luckily that one of my friend who's so innocent, accidently pop-up from water that the action camera already found!! My friend who has those action camera also already knew about that all long...hahaha, silly me!!

For the third spot, also the last spot was Badul Island..the spot in here so beautiful! The wave and the wind also not as hard as before, but the water not so clear, maybe because of the sand, so the water not as clear as in Bira Island in Pulau Seribu (Thousand Island). But we enjoyed to had free diving in here. My friend got a snap of me while I'm successfully duck dive vertically and I'm so amazed!!

Harsha and Agnez

Dunno what he's doing

Fishes

Nemoes know how to pose

When my friend able to captured me vertically while duck dive

After we're finished with our snorkeling and free diving, we're heading back to Ciputih to prepare our way back to Jakarta. We're back to Jakarta at 2pm, took break for 2times, at 5pm then 6pm for praying and arrived in Jakarta at 10pm. We do really had fun!
