Catatan Perjalanan ke Karimun Jawa

"We grow old . . To see the world is what we should do"

 

I get very excited whenever I go to new places, for I know that I will meet new people, do new experiences, and learn many things. At this moment, let me share you my latest trip. Recently, I went to Karimun Jawa, one of very wonderful islands in Indonesia. I should say that the trip was a very crazy and spontaneous trip, but as we know that sometimes a crazy and spontaneous trip can be very wonderful and unforgettable.

I hope that this note can be useful for those who want to go to the place. Karimun Jawa is a place where you can feel paradise. Get doubt? Let you go to the place.

I should note that I did not do this trip by spending money in a travel agent. If you do the trip by buying a ticket from a travel agent, your story may be different.

After preparing all of the things we would need, my four friends and I started our trip at 00.00 Am. We started our trip from Paingan. At the beginning of the trip I was not really sure to start the trip, for I had been fallen from my motorcycle. But, my thought said, "Just do it dude".

We used three motorcycles. I did not allow the others to ride my crazy motorcycle. It would be dangerous to let others ride it, for it was very unique motorcycle. :D
The route was Yogyakarta -> Magelang -> Semarang -> Demak -> Jepara.

At 04.30 AM we got in Semarang. After taking a rest, we did the trip again. When I came in Demak, I got an unforgettable experience. When I was ridding, an old man was ridding his motorcycle fast, he looked at me and waved his hand. At the beginning I thought that he said, "You are very good dude, because you broke the rule-passing a wrong way-".

Getting a little bit of anger, I got closer to the motorcycle, looked to his face impolitely, and got my motorcycle faster. What happened then? The I realized that he did not threaten me, maybe he just wanted to say "Hi". His motorcycle had a same sign with me.

At 05.00 AM we got in Demak.

Passing the way in Demak needed a great effort. The road was bad, because it was being fixed.
But, my dream to go to Karimun Jawa was bigger than this difficulty. I kept going dude!

At 06.30 AM we were in Jepara. After having breakfast in Jepara harbor, we bought tickets. A ship to Karimun Jawa would go at 09.00 AM, so we still had time for taking a rest.

Actually if we bought an express ticket, we only spent 2 hours to come in Karimun Jawa, but we decided to buy the cheap one. I spent Rp.66.000,00,- to be in the ship.

At 01.00 PM we were in Karimun Jawa. Ah That's was the very best moment in my life!

After coming in Karimun, we went to some home stays. We got the right one. We used the room for five people. For each people we only spent Rp20.000,00-, in one night.

                  Ah, this guy must be cool :p --->

Then, we took a rest in a island- I forgot the name- :D

       Is it like The Last Wolves movie? --->
          No? Owh thank you -_-

After eating some delicious grille fish, we did snorkeling again beside Kecil island.

We did snorkeling about one hour, then we went to sharks' captivity.
Let's take pictures with sharks :D

 See, sharks are very friendly animals :D
