Dan terjadi lagi..kisah lama yang terulang kembali..
A piece of the title of a famous band’s song, yes this time I am touring again to the same place, hahaha. I still remember when I first came and ate at a local stall. I told the owner of the stall in Kiluan Bay that I would not come back again. Because of what? Because of its unfriendly path. If you say it’s jammed, I think it’s not too jammed when the time comes and goes, both in Lampung and Jakarta.
July 27, WAG sounds after a long vacuum, hehehe. Actually, during the first visit, we discussed the next plan, but the pandemic could not be denied. Until the beginning of 2022, we discussed during lunch at Lotte Shopping Avenue, which was originally planned to be February 2022 but it turned out that it still did not succeed in realizing. I was not too enthusiastic because I already had my own plan for the next few months.
The beginning of the destination to M-Beach which I thought was still OK, the distance was about 45 minutes from the port but what the power suddenly the destination changed. It’s OK, because there are still some places I haven’t visited like Laguna and Shark Tooth. The meeting point is at Icon Walk Cimone and then directly to Merak Port but before that we had dinner first around Cilegon Children’s Park. Approaching the entrance we booked tickets first with the Ferizy application, the method was quite easy, I made the guide here and unlike the first trip where you had to queue when buying tickets, at that time I didn’t see a single motorcycle queue at the location.
Luckily, we immediately got on the boat without having to wait as long as the first trip and the boat was fortunately available with beds, although it was not the same as our first trip. It was time for dawn at Bakauheni Port and went straight to Bandar Lampung. In the morning we had breakfast opposite Bank BCA which turned out to be not too far from the nasi uduk that we had eaten before (after I passed the location).
We arrived at around 10:15 AM local time at Kiluan Bay and for lodging we returned to Home Stay Meli Sarmin (available on Google Maps). Indeed, among the lodging that the locals have offered, I am still interested here, in addition to the low price, the view and the green lawn that is quite large and the existence of a kind of hut on the beach adds to the plus value of this inn.
Gayau Lagoon, a place we visited after lunch. Luckily, the weather was sunny at that time, because if it rains, it will make the climbing path even more slippery, I recommend wearing mountain sandals. About 25 minutes of travel we reached the bathing pool and only about 30 minutes we spent time.
Our second destination is Kelapa Island, unlike my first visit, this time there are no tourists staying and it seems that it is getting less and less maintained, especially for the toilets. The intention was to see the sunset but unfortunately the rain dashed our hopes and made us return to the inn faster.
Oh yes, this time we ordered a meal from lunch to breakfast the next morning. There was something different after dinner this time, we did karaoke until 2 am, hahaha.
After Dawn Lae and I stayed at the inn and other colleagues saw dolphins. Heavy rain in the morning canceled our plans to Gigi Shark so we immediately took the direction home. On the way we had a durian party where it had previously been delayed.
5 minutes before Bakauheni Port, we took a break while ordering food for the ship and buying tickets. His intention was to try Express but unfortunately the tickets had run out. This ship is very different from the previous 3 ships, there are no beds, both in Economy and Executive class which we took by paying an additional fee.
Cloudy weather at 11 p.m. connected us at Merak Port and heavy rain accompanied us to the Daan Mogot area. Alhamdulillah, I was the first to arrive home and not long ago other colleagues also informed the same thing, except for Lae, who informed me when I was already at the office, hehehe.
I admit that this trip was very exciting compared to the previous one because the number of participants increased and it was not too tiring because of the motorbike ehm ehm, hahaha. Wait for our next trip, friends, thank you.
