travel underwater paradise

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 31 Juli 2011 | 03.54

Who is not familiar with Gili Trawangan? All three islands (Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan) in West Lombok, NTB, very popular for both local and foreign tourists. Non-motorized system imposed on Gili Trawangan island makes it more interesting to visit. And for fans of scuba diving and snorkeling, underwater paradise surrounding this island is the main attraction.

This time I will share stories about nautical tourism on the island of Lombok, but not in West Lombok, but on the other end of the island of East Lombok. Our backpacking this time is in two small islands (gili) consulate and Lawang, located in District Sambelia, East Lombok. Unlike with third dyke in West Lombok, two dyke is as yet untouched by commercialization and the excitement of the visitors. It is precisely this hidden beauty that is still the main attraction for us.

Moved from the city of Mataram at 7 am with snorkeling gear, enthusiasm can not be hidden. Even the breakfast was done in a car with yellow rice, anchovies and boiled eggs. Understandably the way to the pier where boats will bring to the consulate and Gili Gili Lawang is approximately 2.5 hours. I looked at the three faces of my friends who are still sleepy because yesterday after returning from snorkeling at Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air, they eat the durian in the market Mataram. Apparently they have not stomach my stomach setahan of Indonesia, so one must repeatedly go to the toilet last night while the two others could not sleep because it overheated.

As soon as the car began to leave the city of Mataram, the scenery a paddy field was able to make their eye sight. Dinh unrelenting DSLR snapping her busy while the Yen asked Ms. Goddess and mas Emon who accompanied us that day. Mbak Dewi is a lecturer in Mataram, but a human being 'water', a nickname that we gave for love of all things related to water. While mas Emon is a fellow human being 'water' which is still active as a coach of swimming, diving and snorkeling.

The morning was a bit foggy after a night rain. Paddy field with a background of mountains with peaks covered in mist Rinjani, Lombok featuring the natural beauty along the road impassable. When the sun shines shyly from behind the clouds, bubbling dihatipun hope for a sunny day. Sunday morning was more alive when the car through the traditional markets. Frenzied buying and selling activity provides its own beauty to be enjoyed where they have faltered car market bottlenecks.

Do not feel two and a half hours went by and we also arrive at the boat will take us to the second dyke. Seen three young men were waiting. They are young men who two of whom are athletes diving and marine tourism development in these two Gili. With the help of PNPM funds they can complete the diving and snorkeling equipment that could be leased and the funds used to support the activities there.

Simple boat without a roof has been waiting for. We also directly mount. Snorkeling equipment (fins, mask and snorkel) and life jackets are available. Life jackets are very important to me and two friends who can not swim. Meanwhile, a box of mineral water, lunch and a few coconuts can also be seen already in the boat. We are planning to eat lunch at Gili consulate dishes while enjoying the mangrove forest (mangrove).

The first stop is between the consulate and Gili Gili Lawang. Here the water is calm and the current is not strong. There are lots of small colorful fish and coral reefs. We also can not wait plunge into the water, underwater beauty is truly captivating. Too bad we can not capture the beauty beneath the sea in the absence of an underwater camera. After about half an hour in the spot, the boat was moving towards Gili consulate in hopes of seeing more fish. But it seems we are less fortunate, so there was only coral reef. Nevertheless, the spirit remains undiminished bersnorkling, knowing new-snorkeling can be fun .... He-he-he.

Do not feel it was shown at 12 o'clock and the stomach was already growling. One by one, no matter who later headed up the boat to the dock at Gili consulate. This dock was made by the local fisheries department that could be used to place stop and rest. The road from the dock into the island is of wood with a left-right is the mangrove. It's exotic scenery and soothing.

Carrying supplies, incessant camera dijepretkan and occasional beauty of style with the background of Gili consulate. The length of this road about 200 meters into the island. The stop is at the center of the island and the stock was lowered. While enjoying the beauty of mangrove forests, bekalpun began to eat. Clear water around the mangrove forest is our reflection and forest cover. A little bit of sunlight trying to stroke the skin.

Gifts start from the 'pillow', so to speak mbak Dewi to Lombok food made of glutinous rice with the content of bananas. These cakes wrapped in coconut leaves shaped like a diamond. In the meantime, Andri and Deni, setting up a young coconut drink. Apparently a combination of 'pillow' with young coconut water can block the stomach, so we postponed lunch. Besides being fed, is also afraid that eating will cause cramps most of the time snorkeling later.

While trying to scavenge a young coconut meat using a 'scoop' from the outer shell of coconut, the event jeprat snap continues. Even Dinh and Yen climbs mangrove trees to get a cool pose. Full stomach with a natural ambience make sleepy eyes, let alone animal behavior sound like a musical lull.

My heart and mind as working together to resist getting out of the beauty and serenity of this mangrove forest. Disease 'yawn' spread rapidly, as if to give legitimacy to not hurry to leave this natural charm. However, the shadow will be too tempting beauty of the sea.

Aaahh ... what a dilemma, between leaving the beauty of mangrove forests and underwater imagine charm. A difficult choice ...

Finally, after a rest for a moment, we also re-pack for snorkeling. This time the spot is taken in front of the Gili consulate but slightly to the middle. And one by one we went back to plunge into the water. This time we're lucky, a variety of fish from large and small look bersileweran everywhere. Coral reefs, colorful underwater natural beauty adds to it. The sun is getting hot do not stop to enjoy the thrill of enchantment under the sea, so also when the current is starting to feel we remain unmoved.

At the current grew stronger, with a heavy heart underwater tour event this must end. Time seemed to run, but we still want to be under water. Not feel nearly 3 pm, and boatpun pestapun after moving to challenge the current back to the island of Lombok. Real blazing sun our skin imprint, but in a matter of weeks will be lost again. But memories of the natural beauty of the sea Gili Gili Lawang consulate and mangrove forests along keeksotikan hearts imprint will remain. God willing, someday we'll be back
