Pahawang Island, part 2

In the next morning, we woke up kinda late for sunrise. After a rush, and kinda upset because Ditra hard to wake up, but anyway we finally managed to the beach, where the others already there..

After finished catching the sunrise, we're going back to homestay to grab some breakfast. Actually some of the foods're the overnight bbq fishes because most of all already slept on previous night. But nevermind, it's still tasty thou. Hahaha

So, our schedule for today is going to Pulau Loh for taking pictures and then another snorkeling time. Yeaayyy! Well, we're excited to have another snorkeling time, except for Ditra. She’s only excited for the photo sessions, and foods. lol


Pulau Loh is really pretty. The white sand, blue sky, gradient waters. It's perfectly heaven on earth. Even Dhea who actually didnt planned to get wet, can't resist the temptation. Hahaha


After finished our photo sessions, we're ready for the next snorkeling time. 


Anyway, because on the previous day all people on boat were wet because of him. This day, I asked Adryan to go away from boat before he's dive. Shoo shoo


And here comes the snorkeling time~

We found that every time Sean got tired, he's sat on the boat's counterweight wood and made the boat lopsided. (Sean, please..=____=")

And just like yesterday, only Ditra who managed to stay onboard.
And then suddenly, she made a joke of feeding Deka. So we have our new game of Feeding Deka instead of Feeding Frenzy. Hahaha

Pahawang underwater was really beautiful. And the deeper it was, the more it beautiful. Here're the photos from the divers.

Overall, I really enjoyed this snorkeling time, at least my nervousness the day before already reduced eventhough I stil need to hold on something or someone to reduce the nerves. 

After finished the snorkeling, we're going back to the homestay. While waiting for the bathroom turn, we decided to hang out to the food stall and ordered another Indomie. And because the day before was my birthday, I paid for them this time. Adryan, Deka and Dhea didnt realized it and even the boys asked for another treats at Jakarta. Hahahaha You wish! :p


Right after lunch time, we're leaving Tanjung Putus and going back to Pelabuhan Ketapang.

Most of us already tired and tried to sleep on boat, but apparently only Deka that managed to sleep (anyway, seems like he didnt changed his clothes since the beginning. Hahaha)

On our way back to Pelabuhan Bakauheni, we managed to buy some famous snacks from Lampung, which is choco banana chips (not Deka choco banana for sure. Hahaha) and fish chips. 

We arrived at Merak around 8pm and back to Jakarta on scheduled. What a great trip as a 'gift' for my Birthday. Thanks all to make this came true. And thank you God to make the weather really nice and the trip was memorable.

Pahawang Island, My first birthday trip (part 1)

Okay, so this post actually requested by Deka. Hahahaha

Anyway, got inspired by my friend, I would like to have a birthday trip runaway. After annoyed the group (and especially annoyed Sean) to have a trip, so he finally gave up and decided to arranged this *hurrayy\^0^/*. Actually Pahawang not in the top of mind, but Adryan said that he wanted to go there and it's a nice place to go, so finally we go to Pahawang.

This time we went on close trip with Travelmate (since there's no scheduled open trip on my date) with minimum people to go were 15 people and costed IDR 635k/person. So, because I only bring 7 people (Adryan, me, Fitri, Ditra, Sean, Deka, and Ade but tentative), and Deka said he wanted to invite 1 of his friend, so we're lack of another 7. So the rest're Sean's office friends.

The same as Peucang, the meeting point was at Semanggi, Friday night. And just in the d-day, Ade canceled it because he was sick (I kinda pissed off thou, and Sean because he will need to cover it *sorry). We arrived around 8pm and then looking for Dinner, apparently, we met Deka with his *ehem* friend at Hokben. Later, he introduced her as Dhea. (Nevermind, we wont bother you both. Hahaha).


We departed from Semanggi around 9pm, and took Elf to Merak then continue it with ship to Bakauheni, Lampung (yep, another my first time). We arrived at Bakauheni around dawn and continue the journey with Elf to Pelabuhan Ketapang, which took around 3-4 hours.


So, we arrived at Ketapang around 8am and then changed the clothes because our schedule were full of Snorkeling.


And, to be honest both me and Ditra never done any snorkeling before and both of us can't swim. But apparently for the first jump, she's more panicked than I did and eventhough already using life jacket, she's still holding Sean so tightly and after that, she didnt want to have any snorkeling and chose to stay on boat. Actually I was afraid either, but I feel pity to Sean, so instead of holding him, I choose to hold on the boat's counterweight wood. And I also got "birthday present" from my first jump which I bumped my arm to the boat stairs until it bruised. Ahahaha


Actually our first spot, Pulau Kelagian, was not bad, but when we're finished our snorkeling time, suddenly the sea was full of trash. And I feel really sad about how ignorant human to their own place to live:(


So, after this spot, we're moving to the next spot and after that have our lunch in Pulau Pahawang kecil.



After finished our lunch, we're moved to Pulau Gosongan for taking pictures. Because it's receding, we can walk between 2 islands. It's really nice and beautiful island..


Another snorkeling time before we're going to our homestay in Tanjung Putus.

I have to admitted that the homestay was really nice. It just newly rebuilded so it has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, even a lot of electricity plugs.

We took the second room, the first room was occupied by Sean's friends. Because it's only the three of us, we're inviting #ehem Deka's friend; Dhea, to join us. Since she's all alone thou. Hahaha


Apparently not like other island, tanjung putus didn't have waves and also it has sloping beach. And the tour leader said that there's a shipwreck near the island. And Adryan really happy about it, while we dont really care and looking for food. And fortunately, there's a small food stall near our homestay. Hail Indomie and fried banana. Hahaha

So, after eating and finished cleaning ourself, it's the time to catch the sunset.

Actually we have bbq at night, but we're so tired that we chose to sleep earlier after dinner. So, see you at the second part. #kisskiss
