Tadaaaa… This is my second trip in the Thousand Islands area, namely Pramuka Island where I previously visited Pari Island several centuries eh, last year. This trip is different from the previous one, if previously I was invited, this time I was the one who invited, invited the children who are less on vacation hahaha. Preparing for this trip can be said to be quite difficult because of the different work schedules of each of us and thank God it can be done as well.

It can almost be said that everyone who travels to the Thousand Islands area generally uses tour packages, yes because it is a bit troublesome to also take care of everything such as ship transportation, lodging, meals, etc. Try to look here and there and finally get a cheap package and thank God the party we hired was also very responsive.

As usual, because the package is cheap and festive, the departure point starts from Muara Angke Port not from Marina where the price of riding a speedboat is enough to pay for this trip. A lot has changed since the first time I came here, it is cleaner and quite organized. Due to the large number of participants, we departed from different places and had gathered there at around 07:30 WIB and started departing at around 08:30 WIB.

The trip to the location is approximately 3 hours, further from Pari Island. For this reason, it is recommended to have breakfast first and prepare nausea medicine and find a comfortable seat, not bad to be able to rest during the trip. Arriving there we met the guide and were directed to the house where we stayed. The house we live in is quite clean and comfortable, there is air conditioning (sharing for 2 rooms) and the water is fresh (previously I was also sent a picture of the condition of the house).

After lunch, only then did the real journey begin (what kind of trip did you go on? was the opening of the :)). The first place we stopped at gusung Patrick (somehow the writing) is a white sand island that is not too large and only consists of sand without any plants and an interesting spot to take pictures like we did, ehm ehm.

Byurrrrr, this is the time that has been waited for, playing in the water hahahaha, we snorkel in several places and the scenery is still like Pari Island, the coral is quite good or because I don’t dare to go too far, yes, play in the water. After snorkeling, we went to shark breeding at Nusa Keramba restaurant, he said that this is the restaurant where the office eats (does it have to be that far away from just eating?)

It was time to unwind after half a day of activities, in the evening we did not participate in the BBQ event held on the island but still brought fish that was immediately ready to eat, hehehe. That night was apparently quite crowded because in front of the Regent’s office there was an event, maybe if not the event was quiet this time like Pari Island that I surrounded at night. The price of food offered here is the same as in my area, at night I tried to buy juice and chicken pecel for approximately 30 thousand.

Morning has arrived, it’s time to go home. Before returning home, we were invited to go around the island on foot which took approximately 1 hour, of course while taking pictures as well. Generally, the indigenous people are Muslims, so we only saw the mosque, besides that there is RPTRA, a library, turtle breeding (at that time it was being renovated) and other buildings that are quite “historic” on this island. At 11 pm we were getting ready to check out and because we were the first to arrive on the ship, we were free to choose a comfortable place during the trip, in contrast to the departure where we got the remaining place because we arrived late.

We arrived at Muara Angke Port after 3 hours on the open sea, because the transport car did not get here, so we rented a motorcycle taxi to get to the front post of the Fisherman’s village and until here also ended the meeting with the children who were unyu, wkwkwk. Unlike those who can go home, I also go back to the office to work again (night shift), hiks hiks hiks.

Before dawn I was called by Anida (I just found out that she was also called Ocha, hehehe) to gather at her house to ensure my participation in Pari Island as previously planned. Yup, it’s my first time going to the Thousand Islands area. 12 people had gathered at Kali Adem around 7 am, 10 of them I didn’t know except Anida because of my neighbor, it turned out that they were also friends of his friends again, like me too.

There is always a first for something, such as taking a boat that is adrift in the ocean for about 2 hours of travel time, Alhamdulillah, I was fine when I arrived, hahaha. We went straight to the rest area, the time was only 5 minutes after getting off the pier. The house is about 100 m from the beach and is quite clean, consisting of 2 rooms without air conditioning, 1 living room and kitchen, and the water is not salty.

After lunch, we prepared to snorkel at several spots and excursions to several islands across until sunset. After dinner, we went around the island by bicycle, the surrounding roads were only illuminated by makeshift lights, limiting our vision. It was enough for us to exercise for half an hour until we finally fell asleep.

In the morning we cycled to Pasir Perawan Beach, the reason it was named because the beach was very clean, I didn’t see the garbage scattered on both the sand and the water, it was very clean. A suitable place for prewedding photos. We rented a boat to go around the beach, around it there are many shell ponds and mangrove trees, after passing through it you will see a beautiful land, God willing.

There was a funny incident when playing on this land, one of us found the Sea Cucumber and played with it, unexpectedly the Sea Cucumber spat out liquid until it reached its mouth and was slightly swallowed, it tasted ? Please try it yourself, wkwkwk.

At noon, we had gathered at the pier to return to Jakarta. I will go back to Jakarta, no matterwhat happened, du du du, my skin is getting darker, hehehe.
