Thousand Island

I'm lucky for having friend like them. We'll never waste our time when Holiday come. For this holiday on April, 2010 all of us agreed to spent holiday by enjoying sea nature. Our destination is Thousand Island. This site is located near from Jakarta. We just need 4 hours to got there by large boat with maximum capacity until 200 person. Along the way in getting Thousand Island, our eyes can not stop to admire all natural show from every view. Like what i said before that we'll never waste our time. After arrived in Harapan Island, we just took our lunch and put our bagged in Wisma Pulau Harapan. Because we could not wait any longer for get our holiday, we hurried to go to the boat which brought us to snorkeling.

First destination was one of island with beautiful coral arround it's dock. Because the coral location is located near from our the dock. All of us could jumped from the boat or the dock into the sea.

But for me, it is quite dangerous for jumped like that, i prefered to down the stair to come into the water. Whatever our way to come into the water, our main purpose is same "WE WANT TO SNORKELING"

Not only from the dock, we also tried to having snorkeling experience in the middle sea. Our captain brought us with his boat to the the middle sea then dropped us off to the place which like white sand mountain.This place is more beautiful and safe from the first place one because you only meet a few sea urchin and there are many big coral which is seems like rose.

Further more, we changed our activity from snorkeling to Thousand Island Trip. We have visited one of our second president's island which is called Soeharto Island.

In this island, we could find a large villa with hely pad on the backyard. When Soerharto was a President of Indonesia, he usually come to this island with his big family for doing some gathering or family meeting. Unfortunately, after his wife death and he lost his position. This island is seems neglected. We have to very carrefully when step this villa's stairs because some fragile voice can be popping  while you do that. Even though the villa condition is horrible but the beach panorama from this villa is very beautiful.

This island has a dock in front of this Island. At the end of the dock, there is a chair which Soeharto and his wife usually sat on there.

Next destination was Putri Island. This island has complete facilities such as snorkeling stuff, diving stuff, Kano, banana boat and mini sea world. It's very interesting to try all of those water game. Unfortunately, the price that we had to pay for all items are very expensive. After that, we just give a pack of cigarette to the island guard for free pass to enter the mini sea world. It is not as good as our perception because most of fish in there has same type. At least we didn't pay for seeing that mini sea world.

Besides the story that i have said above, you also can join bicycle trip on Tidung Island and becak tour on Harapan Island. Because limitation of time that we had have, we had to finish our trip in one day. For the next chapter about Thousand Island, I hope I can tell you more about another island *wink.
