The Thousand Island with a thousand charms


I planned this journey since a couple years ago, but It could have implemented in the end of last year, exactly on 25 to 26 December 2011. What a surprise that finally we could go to the Thousand Island. My kids were so happy that they would be a vacation with their cousins. They didn’t stop asking who would be going? how long would we stay? Where islands would we visit? Etc. Silent kids! so many questions and I couldn’t answer all of its, coz I was busy with my stuffs! 

We went on Sunday morning at 08.30 a.m from Marina Ancol.  The fact was not only me and my family were going to the Thousand Island, but there were many groups also. Whether they were a family or friends or a couple.  When I looked around, I realized that my group had lots of luggage. Hehe…as if we would go for a week!  Kids, specially girls didn’t wanna standing beside the luggage! They felt a shame! Haha.. me? I didn’t care! As usual, I took it easy. I opened my luggage and took some meals. Waiting was a boring time, and it made me hungry!

We chartered a medium speed boat which has capacity for 25 passengers. My family was 22 persons, so it was enough, right? It had taken time for 40 minutes into Pulau TIdung. This was the first island we visited. This island is enough crowded. The island have lots of water sports, such as banana boat, cano, and sailing. There was a bridge into Pulau Tidung Kecil. The bridge is made from woods. Some has fragile and holes. We should be careful, because under this bridge was many ‘Bulu Babi’. Owh..It was not be danger or deathly, but it could make us scratchy! Yak..
