Fanny Maharani: One day at a beautiful landscape

A very enjoyable holiday? it seems a lot of people who love a holiday. When we know we're going on vacation to the Island, we were very pleased and wanted a quickly to get there. But, some trouble comes to us when our lecture told us that the schedule might be changing. But lucky, the schedule still on October 7th, 2016.

We can’t wait for tomorrow. We felt also difficult to sleep because we were too excited for tomorrow. We woke up about at 3.30 am because we have agreed to meet at the train station at 5 am. Woke up at 3.30 is not an easy thing for us because we are not usually to wake up so early.But, because of we are so excited to go to our favorite place (beach) unexpectedly we could wake up at 3 and get ready to go to the train station.

The train was so full, probably because of the working day. Fortunately, we could get a seat. Yayyy! During the trip, we chatted and fell asleep from lack of rest. Two hours passed and finally we arrived in Jakarta Station.
From the Jakarta Station, we boarded the public transportation and stopped in front of the west door of Ancol. But, until we arrive in Ancol we still have to wait for another friend. After all arrived, we gathered and tickets were given by our lecture. Then we were queuing to get in.

Finally, after waiting, we boarded a minibus wara-wiri. The closest location with Marina Ancol beach with the distance less than 15 km. it take 20 minutes by speed boat, arriving at safety, silent and lonely place which is ideal for forgetting the crowded of that capital city Jakarta or other city around. Amazing!!! When out allowed to climb onto the speed boat, we went straight there. Woww!!! I can’t even write any words for express my feeling at the time. I didn’t forget to take pictures and videos for our task and also for upload to our social media.

Bidadari Island is one of resort in Thousand Islands regency or Kepualuan Seribu, Jakarta. Before it known as Bidadari Island, it has two names, which was, Sakit island and Purmerend island.The weather was very hot at that time but paid off by the sight. Tired was gone after saw every spot in there. And also we didn’t forget to take pictures and take videos again. Green ocean clean, cool air and the chirping of birds make us comfortable being in Bidadari island. Lots of beautiful scenery.

This is so great when we found a deer here and it a little bit makes us scared because this is the first time for us to touch and close with the deer. I only know that deer in Bogor palace but now is on Bidadari Island. Then we proceeded, lots of great places to take pictures and we enjoy taking pictures. The weather was very hot but we are still happy to be treated by the sight. After having a toured in there, and the clock shows us at 11.30 am we decide to eat foods that we brought from home.

After we have our lunch, the lecture told us to get ready to go to our next destination, Onrust Island. We need about 10-15 minutes to arrive at Onrust Island from Bidadari Island. Because Onrust Island has a lot of stories, in there we have a tour guide and he told us a lot of things about Onrust Island. In the 17th century, this island was an island of Onrust supporting activities because it is situated not far from it. Since becoming supporter, it was built on the island some supporting facilities. For instance, in 1679, the VOC was build a hospital for leprosy which is the transfer from Angke. We don’t have many times in Onrust Island because we need to go back to home on time, so after the guide finished tell us a lot of information about the island we go to the boat that will bring us to back to Ancol, but before we leave the Onrust Island, we don’t forget to take a picture of all of us.

On our way to back to Ancol we could also saw a Kelor Island, but we didn’t go there because we put on a great speed boat and it is not allowed for fear of destroying the coral there. The Only small speed boat can get there. Although it can only be viewed from a distance, but at least can see the beauty of the island there.

After arriving in Ancol, for go to the train station we use a Grab-car with some of our other friends. The train still full because that time is the time for work-people back home too. Lucky, we got a seat, but our boyfriend must standing and they didn’t get a seat. We arrive in Bogor about at 8 o’clock and arrive at home is about at 9 o’clock. We can’t even tell our story to our family that time because we are really tired, so we tell our story in the next day.

This is really a wonderful journey, we could go to the island with almost all of our friends. And I hope we could go to another place together again.
