The Unforgettable Trip to Manado and Bunaken Island.


25 Mei 2012

It's vacation time, this time me and my friends went to Manado!. The distance between Jakarta Manado is about 4 hours, long enough for an air travel, so you should prepare your music player or other gadget to accompany you during the flight.

Good Morning! We woke up early to get ready to start our adventure at Bunaken Island, an island famous for its beautiful sea garden, of course we also do not want to miss the boat. We already gathered at the Marina port at 7 am. The ship has arrived and ready to take us across the ocean. yaahuuu!

This was definitely not our boat, ours was bigger and more modern :))

After one hour journey across the sea to Bunaken island, we were treated to the beauty of marine park through translucent glass.

Finally we arrived at bunaken, after breakfast with yellow rice and fried bananas with sauce -yes sauce!-, now we are getting ready to wear snorkeling equipment and of course the X-Men uniforms. We're back to boat and heading to location of beautiful coral. And after the anchor was down we immediately begin an unforgettable experience. Nemooo here I come!

The view that probably we're not able to see everyday, God is great.
Not much activity during our last day in Manado, we spent the day with swimming at Hotel and waiting for our friend to take us back to airport Sam Ratulangi. feels so sad when leaving Manado, even the sky started to cry as we enter the airport. :(

    Bunaken is such an incredible region, and the diving here is nothing short of fabulous, had the time of my life exploring Turtle City (https://dive.site/explore/site/lekuan-i-turtle-city-qY3y?), Mandolin Reef and many other cool dive spots!

Tiba-tiba Hongkong, Jalan-jalan backpacker ke Hongkong

Pernah melakukan perjalanan jauh yang sudah direncanakan tiba-tiba batal 10 jam sebelum pemberangkatan? Secara mengejutkan travel agent yang kita gunakan membatalkan semuanya Tiket penerbangan, booking hotel dan tour dalam sekejap dan (untungnya) mengembalikan semua uang yang sudah kami bayar saat itu juga. Ya itu yang saya alami saya dengan teman-teman saya, 10 jam harus berfikir keras supaya liburan tidak sia sia, dalam 10 jam itu juga kita panik dan dalam saat yang sama harus mencari jalan keluarnya.  Hongkong adalah negara yang masih asing bagi kita, semuanya belum pernah melakukan perjalanan ke hongkong, karena alasan itu kita sempat ingin membelokan liburan kita ke Thailand, Singapore atau bahkan Bali. Tapi setelah di rembukan kita tetap harus jadi liburan di Hong Kong apapun yang terjadi nanti, dan akhirnya trip ke Hong Kong pun terjadi yeaaaay!!!!
