Holidays First destination Karimun Jawa - 27-28 Oct 07

Before I slept all the way to Semarang by train Friday nite at 19.00hr, the last time I woke up was Thursday morning = been having my eyes open for almost 36hrs!!!!!
Had Hoka2 Bento for dinner in the train (thanks to thoughtful and sweet Ms. T) then ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz like a dead man till we arrive in Semarang train station, waken up by the guy who screaming that we arrive in Semarang and he took the blanket!!!

Anyways.. that was how I started my holidays…

Arrived at Semarang train station at 4am, stayed at the train station had pop mie for breakfast then went to the Tanjung Mas port to take Kartini fast boat to Karimun Jawa. We left to Karimun at 9am and arrive there at 12.30, lunch time, great food!!! We stayed at Wisma Apung. So far we've been through 4 kind of transportation, the train, the becak, the speed boat and the fishin boat... :P

After lunch and some coffee, we went to Menjangan Besar island. Nice island BUT could have been more beautiful without the trash!! And the water on the sunset side was awful, looked like polluted by the shampoo, washing water… I didn’t go to cemara island unfortunately…

Back to wisma apung after sunset shower time then dinner, hhmm nasi uduk and grilled fish with sambal!!! Yummy yummy yummy…. Couldn’t have holidays without beer!!! Hahahaha was having some beer under full moon across where we were the wisma apung’s terrace with sea as your garden :)

The next day, we went to Menjangan Kecil island after breakfast. Beautiful little resort island (10 rooms only, 5 bungalow). We have to pay Rp. 10.000 to get in the island. My camera battery was empty :( didn’t take some picture of the island. I’ll probably take some pics from Ms. T and Ms. A to add it here.

Back to for lunch and prepare to leave, the boat leave to Semarang Tanjung mas port at 14.00 and we arrived in Semarang at 18.00hr. Sooo we missed the joglosemar shuttle bus we booked at 18.00hr and the next bus at 19.00hr was full :( But luckily we met nice and helpful couple from Jogja who went to karimun to who informed us how to get to Jogja by the public bus and we arrived in Jogja at 23.30hr.. Thanks guys!!!
