Rice Island or better known Peunasu is one of the uninhabited islands in Pulo Aceh Subdistrict, located in the north of Banda Aceh City. Even the island of Rice is located west of Pulau Weh better known as Sabang, where standing with sturdy Monument Kilometer Zero Indonesia. So if you are traveling to the island of Rice, then you have been in the minus area of 0 km Indonesia: D. The only transportation access to Nasi Island is by motor boat which is commonly ngetem around Ulee Lheue Port area (Pelaabuhan to Pulau Weh), unless you want to use air transportation and then parachute, or use the land route while training patience waiting for the Indian Ocean to recede : D. Sea transport access is very dependent on the weather, when sunny weather travels only about 60 minutes, whereas if the weather is less friendly it can take up to 90-120 minutes depending on the sea conditions at that time. But I would suggest when you intend to visit the island of Nasi, visit outside the rainy season. In addition to the more soothing sea travel adrenaline, you will also be easier to get around the island that has not fully have the asphalt road but fully has a clean white sandy beach with a stretch of ocean that gives the color of peace.
The sun's rays are stinging our skin even though we have taken refuge among the shadow of the little leaves above us. Accompanied by the four friends, I faithfully waited for the motor boat majors Nasi Island - Banda Aceh. After a motorcycle and my friend's hardtail bike had moved to the top of the boat by the aid of bongkat load at the port, we moved the coordinates to the ship's cabin. By looking at the timepiece and the direction of the wind, we try to predict a place inside the ship that is free from the blazing sun. After some waiting time, it is time for the handler (the name for the captain).
The silent iron vane began to wake and then spun rage under the body of the ship while creating a white foam that divides the blueness of the sea at that time. Our journey to the island of Nasi has begun, the occasional small chat with laughter with fellow passengers coloring our journey.
Without feeling the lighthouse trip on the island of Nasi looks more enlarged, the handler turns the speed of the motor boat into deeper waters. Our sign will soon land on Nasi Island. Seen cement spikes and wooden concrete protrudes toward the ocean, a sign that we will soon be docked at Deudap Port.
The wave of beach waves that seemed endless pulled blue sea water into white sand made us chuckle in awe. Soon two of my friends spur iron horses while following a friend who tried to conquer the track on the island of Nasi using a hardtail bike in the splashy heat of the sun. While my friend and I boarded the open-air carriage that was packed with loads of groceries from Banda Aceh and its owners. Open-air transportation is lack of availability of places to hold on to make me have to be creative looking for alternative handling place so I'm not thrown from the speed of the vehicle that feels quite fast.
Immediately we have arrived at our destination, my friend's official house that we will make a mess for the next few days. The high temperature at that time seemed to make us want to be under the roof for longer time. After the sun began to feel friendly, we immediately moved to the nearest beach from our friend's official homes. Dozens of coconut trees passed one by one, drove us to alue reuyeung beach. Less than 10 minutes, we have made a trail among the grains of sand butih on alue reuyeung beach. Begin no maden activities to get the composition of digital frames began, while bernarsis ria on the beach that invisible people other than us.
Without it the sun began to set without showing itself on the horizon, a sign from nature that we had to go home. Time to clean up while waiting for cooking cooking from the host as a chef: D. The night passed with a sprinkling of stars punctuated by the waves of waves all around us. Night chats seemed to deliver caffeine into our brains, so the eyes were reluctantly closed. Immediately I began to evaporate, signaling from this body to be pampered on a padded bottom. It is time to rest to gather energy and passion to enjoy the other beauty that is available as the grace of the Almighty for this country.
The next day when the sun lick was not felt stinging, again we venture in this small island. Towards Nipa Beach, a beach that is seen often visited by people and rarely exposed to coastal winds, seen from thousands of footprints are still intact adorn the white grains of sand on the edge of the roar of the waves.
Gazing off the blue sea, staring at the western side of Weh Island, feeling the whispers of the waves that seemed to spoil our sense of hearing, a time where me and colleagues paused to just feel the pleasure of the beauty of this Indonesian nature. After a while we were quite satisfied to enjoy Nipa Beach, we went to a small hill that can see some of the beauty of the other Nasi Island.
Visible gravel road curves and a separate small island spoiled our viewing space at the time. Seeing the increasingly orange sky, we rushed to a beach that is slightly hidden from the main road on the island of Nasi. Pasi Janeng Beach, that is the name of the beach that could give us a view where the sky blushed interspersed with a thin blob of cloud that accompanied the sun to his bed.
After trying to take a few frames to become a panoramic mode, we finished today without any sense of regret for our exhausted energy to enjoy the beauty of nature available for free on the island. Hopefully all this beauty will be maintained, may the peace we feel this time we can feel again in the future, hopefully all the stories inscribed in the waves wrapped in white sand we can spread to every individual lovers of beauty along with peace.
