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.
