MOYO is known as "Lady Di and Charles ever stayed" island that many Indonesian travelers think is hard to visit. But I and friends proved it is not *even we were not trying stay in that sooo expensive-exclusive Amanwana Resort*. SATONDA was famous-less, but I found that it's a very beautiful place!! whose visitor are mostly foreign. Checking the guest book, we found that we were the first Indonesian guests in 2008! finally I made a record.. :p

I found a family in this trip.. that made me feel like home.. I'll add the journal + more pics later.. :)

Just my self. Enjoying the Baluran National Park once again *may be not the last*. I love this photogenic place, her trees, her wild animals and her quietness.. for more detailed journal, please check: http://inikeke.multiply.com/journal/item/7/EAST_JAVA_to_SUMBAWA_a_Blessed_Trip_I

[Menjangan - Lovina - Tulamben] not really well prepared trip... just like spending another weekend :) but these places only where i felt Bali could be quite quiet..

4 hours + 2 days + 4 hours delayed flight, unfriendly season, broken CFs, got cold, hard to equalize, frightening storms, grounded ship, broken UW chasing - fogging all the time, sea-sickness, falling sick one after the other, uncertain way to home.. hehehe... a lot new precious experiences also nice friends ... thrilling but FUN! umm... this trip i won't forget...

It's Sampela, one of 4 Bajo villages in Kaledupa island, Wakatobi. taken with always high ISO since it was so cloudy late afternoon. The storm that pushed our ship aground was coming as we left this village.. the story to be continued... :)

Finally I post some shots of my trip around Toba lake, the biggest lake in Indonesia. Pics first, i'll add the journal later with the budget review and summary.. :)

Starting by unexpected invitation of a hunting trip to Merauke with unreasonable reasonable price *LOL*, finally I put my first step on Papua, the second largest island in the world; long flight from Jakarta to Makasar to Biak to Jayapura to Merauke and return by different route; passing Timika to Makasar to Jakarta. i was lucky to have this experience...

Visiting the "little Africa" in eastern tip of East Java, I think i fall in love with the Baluran National Park; its views, its savannah, its wild animals, I love them! i wanna back again... and longer..

Ciberang - Sempu - Baluran, July 2007 Lomo Fisheyes + 2 fuji superia ISO 200 + unexpected filters on PS = MUUCH FUN!!
