Lebaran Means Liburan

Started by spontaneous asking, our eid holiday had begun. In the Friday Pray, my friends asked me to go to Sukabumi. I inevitably accepted that invitation. I starved for the holiday. I need fresh air, new story, new experience. Moreover, I hasn't been playing with my neighbors for quite long time. It was great time to strengthen relationship with them.

They planned to go to Sukabumi using motorbike. Usually, I rejected this kind of crazy idea. Nevertheless, I think it will be memorable experience for me. I used Rudy's motorbike and he drove all day long forth and back. Though I didn't drive but my ass can't lie. Sitting on the bike for more than 5 hours is literally not comfy.

We reached the location around 1 a.m. Actually we didn't book any hotel before going to the Sukabumi. We had two options. The first one was staying in house of Rudy's sister. The second one was staying in the hotel that my friend (Ojan) don't know exactly the name and location of the hotel. Ojan had stayed in the hotel where the location is nearby the vacation spot. However he forgot the name. He just remembered that the name is Vila Tanpa Nama. It is literally Villa Tanpa Nama. It just sounds so horrible. In the middle of the night, we asked some people where the Villa Tanpa Nama is. Sounds like in horror movie. Apparently the Villa Tanpa Nama has been changed to Villa Araya and the room was full at that time. Therefore, we decided to stay in the motel nearby the lake.

After sleeping, we woke up and went to the lake. The name is Danau Situgunung. The lake is absolutely amazing. It seems like in Africa or Amazon. I really love that spot. And the sun was so friendly to me. I confidently present some of picture which captured by me :)

AND I LOVE THESE SCENERIES

The second spot is the waterfall. We spent around 30-60 minutes to reach the waterfall. Arrived in the waterfall and I saw many people scattered everywhere. It just too disorganized. It was hard for me to find good spot to capture beautiful scenery.

This is my favourite picture in this spot

When we wanted to back to motel, we ordered some Ojek (Taxi Bike). Because some of us was tired already. We paid for IDR 30.000 per person. When we take the motorbike, two of us using the same motorbike. So, there are three people on the motorbike (driver and two of us). Previously, we thought that the price is expensive. However it was so worthed after seeing the track. It was so dangerous. The track is full of mud, wet soil, big rock and the space is less than 1 meter. Beside the track is the the gorge. It was so awful.

After taking a bath, having a lunch, we went to house of Rudy's sister. The distance is around 10 kilometers to our motel. We just took a rest and in the night we went to the cafe. We back to Jakarta in the third day around 1 p.m. We stopped for enjoying durian soup in the first stop and also for late lunch in Bogor. We arrived at house around 6 p.m.

It was tiring travel yet exciting :)

Eid Holiday - Anyer Trip

Have you done your summer holiday, dude? Ya, I know Indonesian doesn’t have summer holiday hahaha. One of the awaited vacation is in the Eid holiday. I was craving for family holiday. As I remember, last time we trip when I had recently graduated from university. It was two years ago.

Usually, we have some trip with our parents. We just wait for their decision where and when we are going. But this year, we decided to do a breakthrough, doing family trip without our parents. Yes, we did it.

That just using one car, we headed to Anyer at 3 a.m. Ya, it was memorable experience. My sister and I are the quite adult people than everybody in the car. So, we had to guide them. I know that they already grow up. But, I think, I still need to be their leader at least to decide where we have to stay and when we do kind of activities.

Our stayed hotel.

We had been stayed for 2 nights in Wira Asri or Wira Carita. I forgot that name. It is the hotel which exactly located in front of Villa Carita. Please don’t expect we stayed in fancy hotel. Since our parents weren’t join this trip, so we just have limited budget. The hotel fee just IDR 450.000 per night. The room included 4 beds which six of us can sleep on it. An air conditioner, a cupboard, and clean-proper bathroom. We can’t enjoy beach view directly from our room. It quite far from beach and even from hotel lobby. We need to walk around 50-100 meters to enjoy the beach.

In the first day, we just wake up around 3 p.m. We had been sleeping about 4 hours after we got the hotel. We cleaned up ourselves then visited to Nusa Krakatoa, where some of family members stayed. We have been there before in our last two years holiday. You can see it in this post (masukin alamat blognya). Actually our main aim were having dinner for free hahahaha I knew it was so tricky. Since our aunt and uncle stayed there with their kids, and it was appropriate to give us some dinner :p. We burned the fish and shrimp by ourselves. Yeaaah, it was so hilarious. You can enjoy the moment through picture below.

Oh ya, I forgot to share that we had enjoy the beach together. We played football. Some of us were made tattoos. And I absolutely hunted some human interests in the beach. Yeah, once again. I love this holiday. The picture can be seen below:

2nd day, we started by spending time at the beach. Do kind of wave-surf-playing. Just using small surfing board and enjoy the wave. Anyway it doesn’t surfing board. You can see the pictures below to understand what kind of board it is. We also took banana boat, though I wasn’t pleasant because my cousin didn’t capture our moment well. The picture of us so small. But it’s okay. At least we have the pictures.

After enjoying the beach, we took a bath. Then we continued to play both billiard and table-tennis. I was giving up first. I don’t know why, but I just felt so sleepy and the weather so bright. It made me sleepier. I decided to take a nap for a while. After I had woken up, I headed to the beach to create a temporary tattoo.

We had dinner quite far from our hotel. We tried to seek fancy and cozy place. But, we didn’t found what we expect. We entered “lesehan” restaurant which its price is so relatively cheap yet the taste was so absolutely delicious. I forgot the name. It’s not the famous one, I think.

3rd day was our last day. One of my cousin (Reza) and I woke up in early morning. We tried to enjoy the morning by reading a book combine with a glass of hot chocolate milk. Suddenly, we’ve heard the annoying music. When we spin our head, we saw 19 years old woman coming to us and asked where can she buy a cigarette? We simply answered, but she won’t go caused by dogs running over the street. She sat next to us and openly share her stories. She told that she had been sex with police recently and said that the police just can get hard for 5 minutes. Yeah, so crazy. I thought, she was drunk. She also told the reason why she had been like this. It caused by her unfulfilled request to get a motorbike. She had been request it. But her stepmother ignored it. I cannot continue the story. There’s still embarrassing yet funny stories which to long to share in this post.

Afterward, we swam for a while. Then back to home. Before that, we visited our uncle and aunt in their new hotel. They moved on after 2 nights in Cracatoa. We took some pictures, lunch and directly back to home. Waaaaah, it was so fully delighted and joyful eid holiday. I wish we can do some this crazy holiday in other day. See you :)
