The AYUstory: "Nusakambangan" The Exotic Island

It was shiny week in Central Java. I planned to spend my last week in Nusakambangan, one of the exotic island near located from Cilacap, Central Java. And i had a blissful chance to experience it with my travel-mate Anita, Pute, and Chelsy (wonder girl).

We started from Purwokerto at 8 o'clock am. We headed to Cilacap by motor cycle taken for 2 hours. After arrived at Teluk Penyu Cilacap, we had to use boat taken for 10 minute. And finally we arrived at Nusakambangan island. The first view i catch in Nusakambangan island is quite and virgin island. This landscape is perfect for people who a lot of activities.

We decides to breakfast after we arrived in Nusakambangan. We ate Instant noddles and mendoan which we bought in this island. The simple food but provided energy enough for us during the trip enjoy Nusakambangan Island. Supposedly, Nusakambangan has a history. The island has hundreds of built fort as the portuguese defense, but before construction is completed, the Dutch was seized.

The trip started with paid 3000 IDR ticket. We are going to the beach at the end. We heard that the beach has a beautiful white sand. The beach is called Karang Pandan. Steep road did not dampen our steps. During the trip to the beach we passed the forts. We got mystical atmosphere because we should the forts in the middle of forest. We decided to take some picture at the forts we passed. In addition, we also seen beautiful beach which called Karang Bolong. After walking about 30 minute, we arrived at the eastern of island. Without more thinking, we straight to the beach. i had plan to take a bath at the beach. The water is warm and clean. On the beach are common brown algae, barnacles, and corals. After about 2 hours we spend time at the beach; playing sand, take a bath, playing a brown algae, take some pictures, and etc. After that we clean our bodies in fresh water in the rocks.
