trip to pangandaran | the experience
We arrived in Semarang at 4am. It’s still too early for us to do anything or to travel from train station to the small harbour, so we just spent our time having breakfast (hot fried noodles and a cup of tea..yummy..). When the sun rised, we prepared to leave the station. We’re a lil bit confused about how to get to the harbour. The contact person from Karimun Jawa (KJ) told us to get taxis outside the station, but there was also a guy who offered us his cars for 20$/car (we will need 2 cars to drive us and our bags). We, then, decided to take taxis from outside the train station, because there was Blue Bird taxis (the best taxi in Indonesia for me) in line outside the station. Surprisingly, the harbour was soooooo close to the station!! it was only less than 10minutes away, which cost us less than$1/taxi (we took 3 taxis, by the way.

snorkeling
.). That was very cheap! Thank God we didn’t accept the guy’s offer.. =)
So, we’re on the boat, called Kartini. The boat took 3.5 hrs from Semarang to KJ Island. We enjoyed the first 1.5 hours, but the rest..OMG!! We had sea sickness!!! That was horrible!!! I don’t really travel by boat, especially more than 1 hr distance.. And that was a traumatic experience for me..huhuhuhu… I almost jump to the sea so that I won’t have to stay in the boat! But, unfortunately, I can’t really swim either… huhuhu…
After 2 hrs in pain, we finally arrived in the island.. I barely could walk and immediately laid myself down on the floor while we’re waiting our cars to picked us up… I felt like I was in a carousel, and it was just moving around, non-stop! Thank God, the hotel wasn’t really far from harbour.

When the car arrived, I jumped in, closed my eyes, and voila! We’re in the hotel already.. I asked the driver to carry my luggage, and then I passed out!!! …..zzzzzzzzzzzz…..
My friend woke me up in 2 hrs.. They’re ready to start exploring the islands, and of course, took pictures… I felt not really well, but they pushed me to join them.. and NO REGRET!! The view from hotel was great! My nausea and headache slowly gone… the islands were soooooooooooooo beautiful!! I’ve been to some beaches in Indonesia, and for me, KJ Islands’re the BEST!!!
We went to some islands, took a bunch of pictures, and then went home… We’re having dinner at the hotel, sea food of course, and then took some rests and prepared for the next day.
