Hello, Blog!
Nice to see you again! I am totally recharged! Going on a vacation is such an endorphine for me and I am totally addicted. My last trip was to the bottom part of Sumatra Island, which is Lampung. I went to a beautiful island called Teluk Kiluan (Kiluan Bay). This was a short trip, but satisfying enough. We went to Lampung by bus. DAMRI is one of the bus service to Bandar Lampung. Though it was only a business class, it was comfortable. I could sleep well on the bus. We have to cross Sunda Strait by ferry to get to Lampung. The journey took approximately 2.5 hours. We arrived in Lampung the next morning and were picked up by our guide, Pak Dirham. He is the one who manages the resort in Kiluan Bay. The journey to Kiluan was a very long long journey. I took like 4 hours to get there. Please don't imagine that the road is a long and smooth one. The access was quite bad, unfortunately. We found many damaged roads. But, still, there is a quote I like from Trinity, "there is a price to pay to enter a paradise". Indeed, paradise it is. Teluk Kiluan is so stunning and breathtaking. It is actually only a small island. We had to go there by a wooden boat. But the sand is white and the water is crystal clear. I spent one day for snorkeling, swimming, or just chilling out on the side of the beach. Moreover, when we arrived, there were no other guests. Only six of us. So, it was like a private island, truly. Though, at the end of the day, more guests were coming. But one word for the island, MAGNIFICENT!.
If you expect that this small island is resort-like. You're wrong. Not many facilities here. The place for us to sleep is only like a wooden house with a mattress. No fan or air conditioning. But don't worry, it is not hot at all at night. What I cannot stand is the bathroom.I think it should really be fixed. I also had to take a bath with sea water. But the inconvenience was obviously ignored because I was having so much fun. On the last day, we went for dolphin-hunting. It was the most adventurous and risky moment in my life! Just imagine if you go to the deep ocean with a wooden small-equipped boat. Let me emphasize, the deep deep ocean. Dolphins like to live in the deep ocean. I was trembling when all I could see was a horizon. Where is the land, for God's sake? But it was all paid off when I saw groups of dolphins swimming beside our boat. They were so cute. I am in love with dolphins. One tips if you want to go dolphin-hunting, you must sing. Dolphins will be attracted with voices. They will come nearby.
Overall, I had so much fun there. When you travel, you do not always find everything easy, sometimes you will find obstacles. But it is then up to you on how you will react to such situation. Whether you will grumble or just chill out and enjoy the moment.
Happy traveling! :)
