The beauty of the island of Sabang located at the western end of the country series of the Equatorial Emerald is already famous to the corners of the world. The island is located in Aceh Province, Tanah Serambi Mecca has an unrivaled beauty, especially the beauty of nature under the sea. At least that's what I often read and watch in the mass media and electronics that ultimately arouse curiosity. Seindah whether the small island that has an area of 60 square kilometers that?
Shortly after landing at Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport in Aceh, I immediately moved towards the Port of Ulee Lheue where I will cross by speedboat. In addition to fast boats, crossings to Sabang can also be done by ferry. It's just different from the price and travel time. For fast business class ships are charged Rp. 75.000 while for the ferry only Rp. 27,500 for the same class. Travel time fast boat about 45 minutes while for the ferry takes 2 hours.
After being swayed by the waves high enough that afternoon I finally can set foot in Port Sabang. The shout of the officer who pulled the rope of the boat accompanied my footsteps down the deck of the ship. Attack of some transport owners who offer services I tepis with a smile because all I've arrange with Irfan, Dive Guide who has arranged all my accommodation during there. Communication and coordination with Irfan I started and intertwined through the search on the internet site and finally we communicate via BBM.
The car that I was traveling directly took me to Iboih, the beach where I would live in a resort right on the beach. The road is wide and some of the 2 lanes look smoothly stretched. The grove of trees on the right-hand side of the road seemed to move in the sea breeze that blew cool in the midst of the scorching morning of the afternoon. Within 30 minutes I was in front of one of the Dive Resort where Irfan was waiting for me there. A glass of Welcome Drink also cure the thirst that began to feel.
After resting and completing all dive registration payments I will do tomorrow morning, Irfan drove me to a wooden resort located on the beach lips on the terrace above the water. An escape place I imagined all along, spent the day alone on a beach resort while reading a book on a hammock and enjoying the silence of nature. The calm waters are clear, the swimming fish can be seen clearly and a small island called Rubiah with some yachts parked adds to the beautiful view from the resort terrace where I stay. A perfect panoramic sea beauty for a long journey to the western end of the country. I then laid down on the hammocks enjoying the sea breeze until I did not feel asleep.
When waking hours it shows at 2 noon. I immediately headed to the restaurant and ordered lunch. My favorite fresh seafood was served and without a long time already sold out. Agendaku this afternoon is circling around the island with a motor rental and will end by enjoying the sunset at Monument Zero Kilometer.
Despite the scorching heat, I was still excited along the corners of the island which was indeed very beautiful. The blue sea with clear water implies the greenish color, the white sand sprawled with the waving of palm trees blown breezy beach breeze is a natural harmony nan beautiful from the west end of this beloved country. Pantai Gapang, Pantai Kasih, Pantai Sumur Tiga (yes, there are 3 wells along the beach) all I ride with motorbike rental in a blistering but cool day. Several times I stopped capturing the charm of the beautiful beauty of nature that lies along the coast. As without boredom I aim my camera at all the spots and shrinks that are all beautiful.
The sun began to slip into the western horizon as dusk was about to arrive. I immediately spur the motorcycle westward across the lush forest. Well, I'll watch the sunset at the western tip of Indonesia at the Kilometer Zero Monument. Arriving there, some visitors who have the same intent is already in the monument bearing Kilometer 0 Indonesia. That is the monument that shows the westernmost point of this Equatorial Emerald Country. A bottle of fresh drinks accompanied me waiting for the king's day to return to his bed.
