angel island

This time bahasannya still on Angel Island. A little about the history of Angel Island and its environment. The area of ​​this island is destined to tourist resorts, so there is not a residence population there. Because not so broad, so to surround the island on foot could take not more than 60 minutes.

History of Angel Island did not escape from the Dutch colonial period. So there is still the Dutch heritage buildings here, the Martello Tower. In the 17th century Angel Island is used as a support activity Onrust Island which is located in the south. Angel Island was named Island Hospital, because once dibagun leper hospital in 1679 which was built by the VOC. This island was destroyed by British attacks around the year 1800 and then rebuilt by the Dutch in 1803.

The attack destroyed the Angel Island England back but again the Dutch built it in 1827. The building was built at that time was a pilgrim hostel until 1933 is still functioning. After a pilgrim hostel no longer functioned, Angel Island was empty, not inhabited and have never visited by people until 1970.

Now the island has been transformed into a bustling tourist area visited by people because the location is not so far from the mainland Jakarta. The area to the east coast of Angel Island is great for photographs, or just sit relax enjoy the soft white sand beaches and the cool breeze.

But rather unfortunate because of excessive human exploration of the island become a little bit from contaminated.Perhaps because of close proximity to the mainland Jakarta, so many people coming and many activities are also conducted. As the rubbish that had accumulated at the rear of this home. So should the fuel to reduce waste. On the bright side is the garbage dumped into the sea not so do not pollute the marine ecosystem, other good side is the preservation of existing mangroves on the east side of this island and the forest "conservation" of this tropical island in the middle right of the eagle habitat bondol.

blue spring

A sunny afternoon after having lunch at one of the food stalls near Bus Terminal Tower, Malang , along with 5 people or friends, my travels continue to ride mini-bus transport to the Terminal Turen. With the cost of travel from 3000 rupiah to the Turen Tower took for about 30 minutes. Along the way were several school children come home there is also a center went to the mosque because it was Friday, May 14, 2010.

Before I had time to bargain with this pack of drivers of public transportation to take us to the Blue Spring, but because the cost is not in accordance with the pack and the driver can not wait for us too long, we finally revert to hire a mini bus transport.

Lucky me, because until Terminal Turen existing transport ready to go.If not, may be waiting a long time to wait for the next transport is ready to go. What I wonder, this little freight loaded up to a dozen people, but normally may be a maximum of 8 persons. With the winding roads up and down the mountain and through several villages and forests, a trip to Blue Spring takes 3 hours. Quite a long time with the sitting position that can not move because it is very narrow with a dozen passengers were piled in one car will carry a very kecil.Mungkin more comfortable when sitting on a car with several bags of other passengers, unfortunately I did not get to try it.

Entrance to the Blue Spring in the form of forest with large trees and if the first time here would not have thought that in this area is the beach. Up in Blue Spring my friend and go directly to the Post Prison Sempu Island. Our goal is for the first time trekking to ly on the island Sempu. But because of time until the Spring Blue is at 2 pm, the guard could not let us in. kalai just to visit later in the afternoon again. It is feared that time trekking which can not be unexpected because the track was muddy it will take until the evening. So the choice is camping on the island of Sempu.But unfortunately, we do not carry camping equipment.

Ultimately we are just enjoying the beach in Pulau Sempu but canceled trekking to ly. To cross the island Sempu the only one that can be used as fishing boats that many rely on Blue Spring Beach. With a cost of 100,000 rupiah per boat, we can share the cost with several other passengers. This boat can carry up to a dozen people. Not until 10 minutes the boat had reached the Sempu Island, the island is probably only about 200 meters from the Blue Spring Beach. With the transport drivers and we headed kernetnya Sempu Island.

Stop at one of the beach on the island Sempu, we enjoyed the white sand and the occasional swim in the blue water. Some interesting objects for photography is also available at this beach, maybe if a little bit into the forest we will find animals that inhabit this island.

From the beach has also seen the houses in Blue Spring in Sebrang strait. Appropriate hours have we agree with the owner of the boat, at about 5 pm we met again with the same boat to return to Blue Spring.When the boat when it returned to Blue Spring, if lucky we could see the waterfall from this strait, but unfortunately the time was dry waterfall. However, if the water is flowing, it might look beautiful.

Approximately at 18.30, we returned to Turen. By using the same transport as we went to Blue Spring kernetnya driver and also to the Island we invite Sempu. But this time we angkutannya lease for 250,000 to deliver us to the city of Malang . Travel back to the city of Malang is more extreme, because the evening and along the road was pitch black because there is no street lighting. Transport Occasionally we passed another vehicle from the opposite direction, but it's rare.

Mas Iwan, the original transport drivers of Blue Spring, saying that it was night there was no transport to Turen. Most of the afternoon at 5, that too is rare. Middle of the road in exactly the middle of the forest and away from human settlements, we met with 3 local people who can not go home because the bike broke down. As a result the father and mother of gardening and even then wait for a passing vehicle to be boarded. Withhappy hearts we invite them to come home to villages that were located quite far from where they are gardening.

Up in Malang City at around 8.30 pm, we were dropped right in front of the train station in Malang. We directly proceed first adventure in the City of Malang this with a dinner at one of the stalls which is right in Sebrang Station Malang. We deliberately did not check in the inn since the middle of the night adventure will we continue to Mount Bromo. so, let us go show this first night in Malang.

jaya summit

If you think that in the tropics will not find snow-covered mountains, you can rectify the assumption that after a visit to the Peak Jayawijaya, the highest peak in the Sudirman Mountains (Sudirman Range) in Papua Province. Peak Jayawijaya or shorter called Puncak Jaya, has reached a height of 4884 + meters above sea level (asl), allowing this region was covered by eternal snow.

However, permanent snow is expected to shrink, even dry. In a number of studies concluded that the deposits of ice in these mountains from year to year has a serious shrinkage. Depreciation in the Sudirman Mountains snow is caused by global warming.Thus, it is possible later this mountain snow will be lost as happened on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Well, before the estimates were actually true, it could not hurt you to try to conquer the highest peak in Indonesia.

In addition known as Puncak Jaya, the highest peak is also known as Carstensz Pyramide, or Carstensz Peak. The name was taken from an adventurer from the Netherlands, namely in January Carstensz, who first saw a snowy mountain peak in the tropics, specifically in New Guinea. The observation was made by Jan Carstensz through a ship in 1623. Since not be proved by direct observation, the report was considered absurd. Because, for Europeans, found the snowy mountains in tropical soil is something that is almost impossible.

Truth Carstensz report revealed after nearly three hundred years later, when in 1899 a Dutch expedition to New Guinea make a map and find the snow covered mountain peaks as reported by the Carstensz. In honor of Carstensz, the mountaintop is then given the name as the name implies.While the designation Peak Jayawijaya is giving President Sukarno after successfully embrace the sovereignty of West Papua from the Dutch. This name meaning "top of the victory", as an expression of gratitude for the unification of West Papua with the Unitary Republic of Indonesia.

The first climbers to conquer ever recorded Puncak Jaya is the expedition team led by Heinrich Harrer in 1962. Heinrich Harrer is an accomplished climber and veteran authors. His famous book, Seven Years in Tibet, is a true story and his friendship odyssey in the Himalayas, Tibet. Before Harrer, actually has a lot of other climbers who try to make the climb, but there has never been successful. After Heinrich Harrer, following the expedition of Indonesia reached the top. The expedition led by Colonel Azwar Letnal Hamid from the Army Topographic Directorate is successfully reached Puncak Jaya in 1964.
B. Feature

Jayawijaya mountain is known as one of the world's seven highest peaks (seven summit). Therefore, peak climbing as high as 4884 meters above sea level represents the ideals of true climbers, especially the climb to the Puncak Jaya is the conquest of the snow-covered mountain.Various obstacles are presented in climbing, as natural conditions are steep, very cold temperatures, strong winds and rain, and the lack of oxygen at altitude is a challenge that must be conquered by the climbers.

Jayawijaya Peak is one of the snowy mountain peaks on the crossing of the equator, in addition to the mountains in Africa and Latin America. When viewed from the air, Jayawijaya Peak looks like a black carpet that was covered by a white hood. If the sun was bright, the snow will reflect light the dazzling sun. The content of this mountain of ice in an estimated 5 percent of the world's ice reserves which are beyond the continent of Antarctica. However, due to global warming, this amount from year to year shrinking. When viewed from the types of glaciers, snow-covered area in Jayawijaya get into the type of Alpine glaciation. While the glacier (snow lumeran flow) in this region into the Glacier Valley types, namely the flow of glaciers that flow from high ground to the lower area. Therefore, in this area have made possible the flow of river ice.

Not only enjoy the natural charm of a snow in the tropics, in these mountains tourists can also witness the direct geological evidence about the history of the formation of Jayawijaya Mountains. Geological studies find empirical evidence that the mountain was originally a deep seafloor. A geologist named Francis Benedict Margotomo Widodo said that the establishment of New Guinea with a peak in Jayawijaya occurred about 60 million years ago. The island is formed from sedimentary rocks that rise due to plate collision of Indo-Pacific and Indo-Australian on the seabed, resulting in elevated sea floor was transformed into a large island. Evidence can be seen from the fossil marine animals left in the rocks Jayawijaya Mountains. Therefore, in addition to being a paradise for hikers, this region is also a paradise for geological research.

If you are interested in exploring the Jayawijaya Mountains, of course the main thing that needs to be prepared is the physical readiness, supplies, and logistics. Exercise regularly in an area with a fairly cold temperature is one of habituation effective enough to avoid the threat of hypothermia (hypothermia), namely the loss of body heat because the temperature was in the area is very cold.In addition, the licensing aspect should also be prepared well in advance of the implementation of the climb. Because, in addition to the terrain is tough, Papua region often hit by riots, tribal warfare, as well as other security problems. The difficulty of licensing to climb "the roof of Indonesia" This often led to expressions of satire: "more difficult than taking care of his permission to climb the mountain".
C. Location

Jayawijaya Mountains located in Puncak Jaya regency, Papua Province, Indonesia.
D. Access

Given the heavy climbing terrain, complicated licensing process, as well as security guarantees when the process of ascent, the climbers should use the services of an experienced travel agent. Various travel agent who has an international reputation has provided two route options, the classic route through the Village Ilaga, or the second line is more comfortable with a helicopter ride to the base camp, Hill Lake (Lake Valley).

Travel agency services will usually also handle licensing issues, transportation from Jakarta to Papua, leasing helicopter to base camp, climbing guide, insurance, and training and conditioning of the team before the ascent.Of course, the cost per person for a team climbing by using the services of travel agents require significant costs, which is about $ 10,000 per person (or approximately one hundred million dollars more)

kuta beach bali history

Already since the 1960s until today, Kuta is known as the busiest tourist spots in Bali. Tourists come to have fun in a small village in Badung this. Kuta increasingly identically as a place with sparkling image: surfing, shopping, Sun Bathing, or just to enjoy a world atmosphere in recent nights.
Ironically, in addition to the beach and the world at night, Kuta itself is not too have a place as a tourist visit.Unlike, say, Denpasar, which have some historic locations like the Museum of Bajra Sandhi Renon Square Margarana or beside Puputan Bali Museum Badung Denpasar. Or art museums in Ubud.
"As the people of Kuta, I myself often feel uncomfortable because we lack knowledge about our own place," said Made Supatra Karang, one community leader in Kuta.
While Kuta actually have an important role in the history of modern Bali, especially in terms of tourism. Kuta can be called at the forefront of creating the image of Bali as a location for world tourism. Because of that Kuta has the potential to be a historical sights. Especially since the old Kuta is also known as the place that gives a place for pluralism.
To know Kuta as a historic place, Supatra introduce five places that have a role in the history of Kuta. Five places were Pasih Beach Boat, Dharmanaya Monastery, GraveyardMads Lange, Poppies Restaurant, and the Bali Bombing Monument. Two last names are widely known. Therefore, we will visit three places namely lai Pasih Coast Boat, Vihara Dharmayana, and the Tomb of Mads Lange.
According to the official history book of the Government of Kuta Village, Kuta began to be known when in 1336 AD, Gajah Mada from the Majapahit and his troops landed on the southern coast. This area became known as Tuban, like one of a small town on the coast of East Java.
Because a good place for landing ship, this area slowly became a small port. Residents also mentioned areas in Banjar Segara Kuta is the name which means the beach Pasih Boat boat. According to Nyoman Rica, Head of Environment Banjar Segara Kuta Kuta history can not escape from the existence of this boat pasih. "Therefore everyone who wants to know the history of Kuta indeed have to start from here," said Rika some time ago.
Currently, there is no historical evidence whatever that this beach never had an important role in the development of Kuta .Former port here already eaten the waves, affected by abrasion. "It's deep in there," said Rika said, pointing out to sea.
Physical evidence that the place was ever so ports can be seen from the building at Temple Guesthouse in this place. At the front of the temple, there are miniature boat built in 2002. According to Rika, a boat of this cement is a form of respect for local residents on their ancestors who landed in that place.
The size of this miniature boat about 6 x 2 meter square. In the midst of these boats there are water sources which, uniquely, is a fresh water despite being on the beach. Unfortunately this place does not have much information to become a tourist attraction. However, if packed well, this place is quite interesting to be a historical tourist sites, especially about Kuta .
Another part of Kuta which could be a place to get to know the history of the monastery Dharmayana Kuta. Established around 1876 AD, the monastery Dharmayana be one of the oldest buildings in Kuta. He became a silent witness of the era history of Kuta Bali is still shaped the kingdom today.However, despite 132 years old, this temple was still very awake. Buildings are still arranged and used so far.
This monastery located on the corner between the streets and roads Padri Blambangan Kuta, Banjar Temacun entrance region, Kuta. With the color of a typical Chinese red, this temple clearly visible on the right side of the road. Ornaments such as lanterns are hung, Mandarin characters on the wall, or a dragon statue in the pole monastery became an icon typical of traditional Chinese buildings.
Dharmayana Vihara is a place of residents of Chinese descent perform daily prayers. Nevertheless, the monastery is open for anyone who wants to visit, not just those who want to worship. Therefore, tourists can visit this temple. However, in fact, not many tourists visiting the monastery who had visited the Dalai Lama in 1982.
Hindra Suarlim, Chairman of the Yayasan Dharma Semadhi that shaded monastery, said, Dharmayana built to honor His Majesty Kongco Cin Tan Hu Jin, ancestor of the Chinese citizens in Kuta .According to the owner's Chinese name is Lim Ing Hin, Cin Jin Tan Hu is an architect who designed the Taman Ayun in Mengwi, Badung. Jin Taman Ayun was built in in 1716 AD
Although established as a form of homage to the ancestors of Chinese citizens, but the monastery is still allowed to visit anyone, including tourists. Usually the tourists who come are from China , Japan, or Korea. Tourists from Europe and America are very rare. "If they want to worship here is fine," said Luwih Beratha, chairman of the monastery.
Visiting the monastery Dharmayana Kuta, we will simultaneously learn about the history of Chinese citizens in Kuta , Bali island in general. Since the beginning of his arrival in Bali in the 18th century, Chinese citizens choose to trade jobs. This profession also influenced the development of Kuta to the present. Chinese citizens continue to be one group that determines the economic wheels of Kuta, especially in terms of trade.
In various books on Kuta stated that the Dutch colonial era, Kuta be one trading center in Bali.At that time, a Danish citizen named Mads Johansen Lange became Syahbandar Kuta. I Made A piece Sujaya in his book Conscience of Kuta (LPM Kuta, 2004) mentions that in the hands of Mr. Lange, as people used to call Kuta, Kuta is increasingly developing into a very advanced and famous. Therefore, talking about Kuta is also inseparable from the position of Mr. Lange if a little smelly colonial.
Mads Lange Tomb located in the eastern part of Kuta, next to Tukad Dead, is about 100 meters from the road By Pass Ngurah Rai Kuta. There is a street named Mr. Lange is like showing how important the Lange position so that his name immortalized as the name of the street. Again, unfortunately, this place did not have enough information as a tourist attraction. While this location could have been packaged as a historical tour, for example with a clearer description of who Mads Lange and how his role in the development of Kuta.
Currently, not much to look at the tombMads Lange . There are only about 3 feet tall monument with the inscription Sacred to the Memory of Mads Johansen Lange. This monument is somewhat separate from other graves in the Chinese cemetery. Historically, Mads Lange was married to the woman of Chinese descent. Because of that he was buried in the cemetery this Chinese. Without a guardian and a written statement about the place, the tomb of Mads Lange could not tell a lot about the history of Kuta .
Three sites, along with Poppies Restaurant-one of the oldest restaurants in Kuta and Bali bomb monument, to commemorate the tragedy of the bombings in Kuta on October 12, 2002 actually could be an attractive tour packages. Each other is no more than 30 minutes if taken with a motorcycle or car. It did not take a day to explore everything.
Unfortunately not a single travel agent or tour players who make these places as a tourist activity history. If ever there was one tourists who come, usually only because of personal interest, not offered by travel agents.
However, according to Supatra Karang, the majority of residents in Kuta today is start thinking about the need for any historical attractions in Kuta. "We were thinking that way lately. Kuta should have a museum of history or package tours to historic places, "said Chairman of the Kuta Small Business Association is. But this is still limited to ideas, no action whatsoever.
This, he added, because of the lack of sources that can tell each venue. "Still, perhaps it should have started it. If no one start, so just going to be an idea, "added the initiator of the annual activities of the Kuta Karnival this.

losari beach

Throughout Indonesia, there is only one beach to watch the sunrise and sunset at one point stands the same. "The beach was the beach Losari, Napier", so said Vice President Jusuf Kalla told me while proud of this beach, a while ago. At first I was puzzled by this fact. The position of the beach that extends north-south is indeed able to watch the rising and setting sun in one position. Unique indeed.
Apart from that, the beach Sejong is one of the most rehearsal and chic beaches I have ever come across Indonesia, and another great beach is located right heart of a big city. Comparing with some shoreline big cities in Java, it is clear Losari top: free garbage and comfortable visit. As I write this I imagine how smelly and kroditnya situation in Tanjung Priok in Jakarta, or the port of Perak in Surabaya. Not surprisingly, the first Queen Elizabeth of England when they travel to Jakarta (age 80) he did not want to come down from the car when they arrive at Tanjung Priok because he was so shocked by the smell and amburadulnya dipelabuhan situation. He thought, Tanjung Priok as beautiful with the Hong Kong harbor. This incident became "incident protocol" is embarrassing, but that faces the port in Jakarta.

Losari very strategic coastal position and become embedded in the atmosphere of the city of Napier which stretches as far as approximately 4 kms. The beach is directly accessible by the main road the main protocol. Grew hotel across the street with a variety of classes. Call it a name of the hotel is located very close to the shoreline al:MGM Hotel, Hotel Sejong Beach, Quality Hotel, Hotel Aryadutta, and the Hotel Aston. For mid-budget travelers, can choose Sejong Hotel Beach, or rather go slightly into the street Joseph Latumahina, there is a nice little hotel that is Hotel Canary. I myself prefer Quality Hotel or the Hotel Sejong Beach because of its location okay, and the price is not exorbitant.

The most ideal time to visit is late afternoon Losari coast between 1500 hrs to 2100 hrs. Many who come here to sit down sit down to enjoy clean beaches, jogging along the pedestrian as far as 500m, or eat diwarung stalls that have been relocated by the local government (the most southern tip of the beach). Young and old will come here to enjoy the sunset while membelu food from merchants. If you like jogging, it also is ideal. Clean air and the wind blows non-stop, the sun's red-gold sweep of human face sit beach.

Merchants sell a variety of food ranging from light snacks are just chock stomach like meatballs or fried. There are also special food such as Coto Makassar or various sea food dishes with the original recipe of bugis. Really nice!

The atmosphere is very orderly and safe, I feel comfortable here. But there is one that I am complaining about ie: singers.They ngeyel, can not be rejected for not singing. So any sort of compulsion to listen to them sing, and like to force with a satire if not given money. They were singing not only alone, but comes with the same group of friends together to sing with a tone (sorry, yes) is not good. Leisure beach is reduced minus one point only because because of the presence of singers who do not know the rules and forced to play this. There are good local government and education officials do for comfort in Losari not polluted because of this kind because of gang singers
