Krakatau trip

In Kampung Rambutan terminal we bring oleh oleh khas surabaya from our last trip, seen some young people with backpacks colorful fun chatting. One of them is me. We are waiting for the night bus that would take us to the port of Merak. Our vacation destination this time was located Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait.

There are still many who refer to it as Krakatoa, when Krakatoa erupted with great already in 1883 that killed approximately 36,000 people. At that time, the whole world shrouded in the dark and eerie atmosphere. Eruptions voice heard up to 4600 kilometers away, bursts of volcanic dust reaches 80 meters and volcanic rock vomit poured into Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand.

According to historians, Mount Krakatau still has the "mother" of Krakatoa Ancient (Mount Batuwara) that when it erupted separates the island of Java and Sumatra. The edges of the crater known as the Ancient Krakatoa Rakata Island, Long Island and Sertung.

From the stories I read here said that Mount Anak Krakatau appeared 40 years after the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, the year of 1927. In the area of this ancient caldera, Mount Anak Krakatau continue to grow in height, approximately 20 inches per month (how can ya? ) and is registered as an active volcanic mountain. Experts predict that Anak Krakatau will erupt between 2015-2083. Alas, let us pray that Anak Krakatau tiduuuuuuur for a longer time yes.

Ok.
Back to the story of the trip.

We went to the port of Merak from Kampung Rambutan terminal with a bus ride that cost 17,000 dollars (before fuel rises) at 23:50 and arrives at 4:10 the morning. Tungpeng as the group leader directly led us all to counter ASDP boat and crossed to Bakauheuni, Lampung.

Faces sumringah want to vacation

During the 2.5 hour drive northwest, we just sat chatting on the deck of the ship while eating snacks and enjoy the sea breeze. So much fun, does not feel the sky was bright and knew the ship had arrived in Lampung.

Down from the ship, we immediately find public transportation to rent to dock Canti, the place where we will be picked up by timber ship to explore the area of Anak Krakatau. Because hungry, we had to stop in the middle of a trip for breakfast at a rice shop and up the road again.

Canti dock, Lampung. Simple, yes.

The sun is not high when we arrived at the dock Canti. The clock struck 7:40. Visible wooden boats we rent are already waiting.

This wooden boat rental price around 2-2.5 million per vessel with a maximum of 20 passengers. When told that later in the journey to the island Sebesi (where we stayed) we will snorkel in the Sebuku, all rushed to the bathroom and changed swimsuit. So when we got Sebuku, everything is ready nyebuuuuuurrrr ....

Met with local people who were crossing from Sebesi towards Canti Pier. Motor also removed use of this ship. So they waved with his friendly face happy.

Sebuku blue sea.
nothings better than playing on the beach, under the sun. Everyone happy

Satisfied playing at Sebuku blue water, the ship heading for the island Sebesi. We were immediately ushered to a local government-owned guest house and divided into two rooms, women and men. One room can accommodate 10-20 people at a rate of 200 thousand per night. If the holiday season, the houses are also rented out to tourists. Oh yes, electricity only live from 06.00 pm to 00.00 pm.

The only official accommodation on the island of Sebesi.
  In Guest House has provided lunch for our group. After lunch, the group split up, there are isthirahat in the room, there is a bike ride around the island Sebesi and there are lounging in beach alone. All busy himself up at four in the afternoon gathered to board-Umang Umang Island.

Although the name is similar, Pulau Umang-Umang not Umang Island in Banten region but its own island near the island Sebesi and enter Lampung. Pulau Umang Umang-it can be taken for approximately 20 minutes from the island Sebesi.

Clear blue sea water really tempting us to quickly nyebur. For snorkeling equipment, rented at a price of 30-35 thousand. I had to bring their own equipment so it does not need to rent it again.

We are engrossed in play until the sun had not consciously go home. This means that we also have to immediately return to Sebesi. It feels really short. Not satisfied euy.

Arriving at the inn, all queued bebersih themselves, gathered in the dining room for dinner and start the exciting event. Make a bonfire on the beach, singing and dancing. I wish the hell until morning, but because of all the exhaustion and had to get up at dawn to climb the child of Krakatoa, we chose to kiss the mattress only.

yesterday i new way to Mount Krakatoa along Bokin beloved. as plan we want to join the sunrise above package of Krakatoa, but due to lack of participants finished in batalin, I finally decided to go to another team with Krakatoa with biayan 570rb / person, includes all land and sea transpot without sunrise on top of Krakatoa. for the bro who want to go there at recommended to go with the group that crowded so it's a joint venture because there is quite expensive if you go with a few people. for details you can read more about this story ... ..

somewhat delayed in the course of all would we get Bakauheni 5 am, at Bakauheni port there are bus station and then we continued to ride public transportation that has been chartered by the committee to get to the dock canti includes Lampung region. on the way i asked for chartered public transportation from the terminal to the dock canti Bakauheni amounting 200000-250000 / car with about 1 hour long trip over a little.
okay we start

trip to this very gw krakatau wait because frankly this mountain could erupt when separating the island of Java and Sumatra ashes yet again its up to all corners of the world and is one of the largest volcanic eruption in the world so a trip to krakatau very gw forward,

gathered at the beginning of our journey to cross the harbor peacock Bakauheni, total members who participated lebebihi 50 people, after hours of 11pm gathered around 1am finally our new ferry boat ride to the island of Sumatra to menyembarng. prices ferry 13,000 / person

Approximately 4 am, we were woken up to get ready to leave for Anak Krakatau. With eyes half asleep, everything came on board and withstand the cold sea breeze at dawn.

Face-to-face patient sleepy but not willing to ride Anak Krakatau.
It took about 2 hours to reach the Anak Krakatau. Because the sky is still dark, everything selonjoran continue her.

When the sky has little light, in the distance Mount Anak Krakatau were "sleeping" soundly. That means it is safe to climb.



As soon as the ship docked, we went down and set foot on the black sand. The first time I saw the black sand because the sand is usually white or cream color.

The crew swiftly lowering the box Aqua and breakfast for us. Surely before climbed Anak Krakatau, the stomach should be filled so that no energy. We rush to finish breakfast and set off up the footpath sand.

Welcome to the Krakatau Nature Reserve.

Actually Anak Krakatau is not very high but it took a long time to climb it. This is because the terrain is sandy and pebbly small so we often slip. Roads in the sand also heavier, so it is better to use a mountain sandals or shoes, not flip flops.


This aunt would climb or to the mall huh? * peace *

My suggestion is to make the distance with people in front of us when climbing from being exposed to second-hand sand footing. Climb zig-zag also might be a safe way so that the eye does not concede the sand.

When will begin to climb Anak Krakatau, we met with the aunts of the Lions Club, a sort of social club so. While it is quite old, aunts is very active and vibrant. When talking with them, I was amazed that they aunts who thirst for adventure, having passed through many places in the world and will continue to do so until the end of life. Tante cool anyway.

About 20 minutes, we finally arrived at the last point for tourists who want to visit the Mount Anak Krakatau. Do not try to cross the line if you want to survive.

Sulfur smoke from the rocks.
 
The trip back down.
Pungent smell of sulfur which makes me a little dizzy so do not linger at the "peak" Anak Krakatau. After taking pictures together, we race to come down with a run in the sand. Pas departing ride, do not want to hit the sand but so down even make "storms" of sand. The important thing seruuuuuu and not interfere with other travelers.

On the way down, we held a race. Ha Ha Ha.
  At 10, we went to the Legon Cabe to enjoy the beautiful coral reefs and fish funny greeting. The water is clear with a well-preserved coral reefs. Hopefully not damaged caused by tourists who are less responsible.

Legon Cabe

Jump and byuuuuurrr ....
When the sun gets higher, we return to Sebesi to bebersih, lunch, packing and return to Jakarta.

On the way home from a cross Bakauheni to Merak, we boarded the ferry nicest I have ever seen. His name Dharma Ferry IX. Overstuffed sofa, there is a bedroom of her and do not need to pay anymore. There is a cafeteria and bar with a friendly and satisfactory service. Nice and comfortable.
