6 to 8 with 10 people yesterday my friend I had the opportunity to vacation in the Karimun Java archipelago. Because the name of our travel there to walk and relax before the semester begins short. Although the Fair was apparently returning from there I added a black skin. (Can you belive the fact That I was getting Darker? I thought I coudn't be Darker than now)
Munkin you've never heard that name before Karimun Java. Though, believe me, this place does not lose the beauty of the places where other world class attractions. Information and support facilities for tourism in this region are somewhat less supportive. Suppose I were the minister of tourism would have me looking for investors to build hotels bitang five here.
Well, so if the location where Java Karimun Islands?
Karimun Java archipelago is located in the northern city of Semarang sebalah. Karimun Java is a cluster of islands (about 30 islands). The biggest island is the island of Karimun Java. The rest are small islands that if you were stranded there, you can become an actor Cast Away 2 vols.Karimun Java, including one national park in Indonesia.
How to get there?
There are two alternative transportation to get there.
First is the path of the air. Based on the information I can from the internet, there used to be common plane that flies regularly from Semarang to Karimun Java (Though a small island, it also has a Java Karimun airport). But after the monetary crisis reportedly airlines serving this route is closed this flight path.
If you want to tetep kekeh plane, then there is currently only charter plane belonging to a luxury resort in the Karimun Java. You certainly have to pay dearly for this. Take it easy for those of you who are tourist with backpack style, there's still the second alternative transportation.
The second alternative road course through the sea (except when I later became minister of tourism, I will propose to create a bridge from Semarang to Karimun Java, so there is an alternative overland: p).
We can ship from two locations. The first of Semarang. Ships leaving from Semarang is the kind of fast ships. Boat tickets are also quite expensive. If I am not one to cost around 100 thousand.Crosscheck it with Mbah google.
Second place is from Jepara. From Jepara vessel used is the small size of the ferry. Something like the ferry from Gilimanuk-Ketapang. Cars and motorcycles fit in here. For those of you that tourists puppy, I would suggest to go from here, besides kaerna cheaper ticket prices, departure schedules are also fitted with the schedule of arrival and departure of buses from Jakarta and Bandung (create another city, I'm sorry, I do not really know).
Accommodation?
In Java Karimun we stayed at Wisma Pumice. This guesthouse Bener Bener-steady. As the name suggests, lies not in the land, but approximately 200 meters from the island of Karimun Java. This homestead-Bener Bener recomended, besides the price is cheap, the atmosphere was also brilliant. You can look at the ocean all day long. At night there is no atmosphere here both, quiet, gentle amgin, sound waves, and moonlight, it can change the mood of whoever becomes melow and dramatic. With its all going to move in a slow-motion and will terdegar song "Kemesraam" from Iwan Fals, gak.
But you do not imagine this house as a five star resort. All that is here to come from the land, eating, drinking, even though fresh water for bathing. So get ready for it when sometimes run out of water. Electricity is also just lights up at night because the electricity here is only supplied by a diesel generator capacity of 20 KW. This guesthouse is fitting for a young child, or for young couples who want to honeymoon okay lah.
Actually there are still other places staying here. Karimun Java Island alone there are a few guest houses and several wiswa. If you want the upper class, there is Turtle Island Resort in Menyawakan.
What are the Karimun Java?
In the Karimun Java Our main activities are snorkeling and diving. We're just diving in small islands around the island of Java Karmiun. Too bad the election less than optimal diving spot.Though there are many other diving spots. Here also you can do Wreck dive, even there are two spots for Wreck diving.
Since I am a kind and not arrogant, I love the information is important for you who want to dive here. In the Karimun Java, diving activities by tourists yet too many people do. Even here there is no dive center. You have to hire equipment to residents there who have diving equipment.Unfortunately you also haryus hiring of equipment for the dive guides there. It is not unusual, when in other places usually dive master / dive guides have their own tools and you do not need pusing2 thinking tool for them. Arithmetic package of money which is also usually have to borrow tools. Moreover dive guide here-a little bit silly, many fatal mistakes made. Even one of my friends doubted whether the mas-mas has been certified dive guide or not.
The places we visited was Mejangan Small Island, Big Island Pines, Pines and Cape Small Gelam.
Dewa Daru
If you are into Java Karimun you'll see a lot of writing Dewa Daru. Dewa Daru is not the name of god let alone a person. Daru god this is a typical regional wood here.
There are interesting from Dewa Daru. There is the myth that the god of wood should not be taken out of Daru Karimun Java by entrants unless already processed before the Karimun Java or has been permitted by the local population. Then, if violated?
According to a story there, if it is violated, it will cause calamity by calamity that took him.There is a story that mentions a traveler carrying this timber and on the way home by using the bus, all bus passengers granule dream. Another story mentions that there are six bus passengers who saw the ghost of Leak on the way home. A little-bit misting it.
So want to casually enter diem-diem Dewa Daru to bag one of my friends, definitely exciting, wkwkwkwkw.
The island has a lot purchased
Based on the info I get from the mas-mas our travel guide, the islands here almost everything has been purchased. Most buyers are not local people, even some foreigners (of course on behalf of Indonesian nationality wife. If you are a woman, be careful with your applying them Caucasian, jangan2 he married you only to buy the island, haha). Mirisnya again, the islands were bought for 3000 - 5000 rupiah / square meter. It was the 90s, but still the price that much is still considered to be cheap for an island that has great potential to become a recreational area. There are no government regulations that govern yes this?
Among the islands I visited, the predicate is the first day of the best islands, namely: Small Menjangan
The beach championCoral reefs championBut the second day is not over yet
Though the second day ended on the island with the usual level kekerenan aja, on the cover I was taken into captivity, sharks and barracuda, woow.Two species of fish that is feared by the beach and ocean lovers.
