May be due to this blog in English. Haha. Whatever, here I would like to share one thought about the benefit of using top level domain .net/ .com.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Well, of course I still use free domain here. But someone said using top level domain would be advantage for blogging. So if you wanna read the benefit read article below, but it's written in Indonesian. It said one of the advantage would be the easier being indexing by the search engine. Before you decide move on to top level domain which is not free, better to take a look.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So, have you decided whether will move to top level domain or still keep your free domain? </p>
<p dir="ltr">That's your choice of course</p>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is such kind of food in Indonesian culinary which is called as martabak. When you say about martabak in Indonesia, it could be salty/savoury martabak and <a href="http://www.nichealeia.com/2016/02/martabak-tropica-martabak-paling-enak-di-bandung-yang-ngehit.html" target="_blank">sweet martabak</a>. Although they have slightly different ingredient and shape, we still call them martabak. In Indonesia, martabak is one of most popular street food.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Salty martabak, others mentioned it as murtabak, mutabbaq, originally came from Yemen and Saudi Arabia. It is also commonly found in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Thailand. The name of mutabbaq in Arabic means 'folded'. In Indonesia it called <a href="http://www.nichealeia.com/2016/02/martabak-tropica-martabak-paling-enak-di-bandung-yang-ngehit.html" target="_blank">martabak malabar</a>, martabak mesir, and martabak asin.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The salty/savioury one contain egg, meat, garlic, onion. The sweet one, Indonesian people called it '<a href="http://www.nichealeia.com/2016/02/martabak-tropica-martabak-paling-enak-di-bandung-yang-ngehit.html" target="_blank">martabak manis</a>' or 'kue terang bulan (bright moon cake), martabak Bandung. The cooking method and ingedients are different, martabak manis using dough (flour which also use yeast and baking soda). The dough is back on circle shaped pan, and than after couple minutes, margarine, sugar, crushed peanuts, chocolate and cheese are spreading into martabak and then it is folded in half. So the topping of martabak manis is in the middle.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nowaday, there are many variety of martabak manis. The topping is vary, also the dough. Martabak become most popular food, especially in Bandung where the culinary always invent new and creative one. In Bandung, Kedai Martabak Tropica<span id="goog_672586743"></span><span id="goog_672586744"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>, introduce new style of martabak manis. Here we can choose your own martabak dough whether it will be original one, pandan flavour, red velvel flavour or green tea flavour. So does the topping of martabak. There are a lot of choice of topping, from original one (crushed peanut, chocolate, cheese), until the modern style such as using green tea, cakalang fish, ovomaltine, nutella, toblerone, durian, kit kat, oreo, hersey's and other. <a href="http://www.nichealeia.com/2016/02/martabak-tropica-martabak-paling-enak-di-bandung-yang-ngehit.html" target="_blank">Cakalang martabak</a> is a special recipe from master of Indonesian culinary, Bondan Winarno which made it only for Kedai Martabak Tropica Bandung. Well, it kinda a special taste when savoury meet the sweet in one plate of sweet martabak. Cakalang is kind of fish, commonly found in Sulawesi, part of East of Indonesia. Cakalang fish flake is cooked with some ingredients which resulted savoury taste. It a great taste I think. I really want to taste Cakalang Martabak when come to Bandung.</span><br />

My </span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >wife didn’t want to go to this way, since she was afraid that we would be lost somewher</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >e in the place that we don’t familiar. However, I convinced her, that we have our GPS with us. So, after had some arguments, we decided to go to Kuningan, with our first destination is Ciater Spa Resort,</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" > Subang – West Java, may be we will try to Ciater Spa Resort, that the place only I know from the website. Yes! It’s time to try the </span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >GPS! I had installed the Garmin maps on my nokia E</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >65 and bought GPS receiver “Navibe”. The GPS receiver is quit cheap enough, I think, only Rp. 600.000 (about USD 60).</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >ay to go to Lembang. However, due to we want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, we exit in the Sadang toll gate and continue </span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >drive to Subang. In Subang city, turned right to</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" > go to Subang – Ciater road. Exit the Subang city, the road is very good, clean and smooth, although it is curves road. No wonder, I think, it is the tourism lane, so the government city will always provide good infrastructure. Soon, we also smell the fresh mountain air surrounding us. </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >To go to Lembang, the Garmin showed us route via Cipularang toll road, </span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >may be it is the short w</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >ay. Far away, we could see the high mountain standing. May be it is Mount Tangkuban Perahu, but I’m not sure. Along the road to Cia</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >ter Spa Resort, there are tea plantations in our left and right side. Hmm, the air is </span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >so fresh! We opened the car window, let the wind blew inside our car. It’s so fresh and chill. The view is very magnificent, sometimes, in the green of tea plantation, we watched there are trees with red flower bloom. Beautiful combination!

The road inside is ro</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >ugh and slope down, and then we met the second gate entrance where we must pay for the ticket. It is quite expensive entrance ticket, Rp. 14.000/person (USD 1.4/person) and for the car Rp. 11.000 (USD 1.1) since we had to buy ticket also if we want to use the hot spring water pool, Ciater Spa Resort. The road to the resort now is quite good with the nuance village inside and chill wind. Inside Ciater Spa Resort, we can feel that it is absolutely managed well. Flower bloom everywhere, colorful; luxury wood house; and sometimes, we met horse riding renter in passing on the resort.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWAT3x6zVb-QJxQXTwh07tmOK1VmAAxCJk2eE_gS9rYn-64yJS8HQvt6pWCFg1a86dsitHrDv1dDvxNpKZ1YBviInK-EwOnyjd05HA04EsYNlm8aLYFtg3kxm0Ha-K0eQ7qjjlpADrgUja/s1600-h/Spa+Resort+Pool.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 139px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWAT3x6zVb-QJxQXTwh07tmOK1VmAAxCJk2eE_gS9rYn-64yJS8HQvt6pWCFg1a86dsitHrDv1dDvxNpKZ1YBviInK-EwOnyjd05HA04EsYNlm8aLYFtg3kxm0Ha-K0eQ7qjjlpADrgUja/s200/Spa+Resort+Pool.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239267299414978002" border="0" /></a></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >The entrance ticket to the natural hot spring spa water pool, Ciater Spa Resort is Rp. 25.000/person (USD 2.5/person), children Rp. 15.000/child (USD 1.5/child).

Inside of the fortress, here there was the palace been standing! Wow, so, this is the only left of the famous Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa’s palace!?

They are Palace, Mosque and Garden. The Garden of the Banten kingdom is believed to be Tasikardi. It is about 2.5 km from <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Surosowan</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Palace</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>Driving from Cilegon for about 7 kilometers, we turn left in Kramatwatu intersection. Our first destination was the Tasikardi. It is an artificial lake that was built at period of Sultan Maulana Yusuf (the 2<sup>nd</sup> sultan of Banten) and then Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa (1651-1682) built the clean water distribution pipeline for the resident’s need. It is also said that the bottom of this lake (reservoir) covered by red floor tile. In language terminology, “Tasik” means lake while “Ardi” means artificial. In its time, the lake with artificial land completed with garden was provided as recreation place for the family member of sultan. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>Arrived at Tasikardi, it could be seen from the roadway on the right, it is big reservoir with green big trees surrounding on it. Getting closer to that lake, our eyes caught up on water bikes that swam across along the lake. Unfortunately, the water of Tasikardi is brown dark color, dirty and the surrounding is poorly maintained. It is really hard to imagine that long time ago, in the sultanate period, this artificial lake was beautiful, along with its park so it was used for recreation place of palace members. In the middle of the lake there is squares area which is an artificial land/garden about 5 acres, where the sultan and family used to visit for recreation. The ruins of building, park and bathroom still can be seen here. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p></span><st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Tasikardi</span></st1:PlaceName><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> <st1:placetype st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType></span></st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> was used to welcome guest from <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Netherlands</st1:place></st1:country-region> in the period of Sultan Muhammad Syifa Zainal Asyikin. One of the guest was Cornellis de Bruin, which was in this reception he had been shown the tayuban dance performance. This situation was captured in the painting that displayed in the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Banten</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Museum</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> now day.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>Not only used as the recreation place, the water of Tasikardi was being used for irrigation and fresh water supply to Surosowan palace. No wonder that along the road from intersection of Kramatwatu, we could see rice fields in our right and left side, just like green and gold-yellow thick carpets. When most of rice field in Cilegon and Serang nearly dried due to long-dry-season, near Tasikardi you’ll find the opposite condition.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>The water from Tasikardi also was the main supply of fresh water for the palace resident. Before entered to the palace, the water has been refined through three steps. The water flow via terracotta/clay pipeline to the first refiner which was called as Pengidelan Abang (Red Refiner), than the water from Pengidelan Abang transferred to Pengidelan Putih (White Refiner), and last the water being refined in Pengidelan Emas (Golden Refiner) before it was transferred to Surosowan palace by terracotta pipeline system. Don’t imagine that the color of the refiner is the same as each name. The name just indicates that the red one was dirtier than the white one, and in the golden one, the water was the cleanest. These pengidelan were the white-four sides building which have a cubic measure of length <u>+</u> 20 meters, width <u>+</u> 7 meters, and height <u>+</u> 3 meters. The principal of this refinery are precipitation and filtering. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>The three buildings of refiners could be found between Tasik Ardi and Surosowan palace. You can find the first one near Tasikardi, about 500 meters, just in the right side of the road. The pengidelan were laid down in parallel, connected to the royal pool and golden fountain. The architect of this sophisticated plumbing system at the time was Hendrik Lucaszoon Cardeel, the one who also involved in the development of Surosowan palace and the great mosque.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>To enter this area, you have only to pay Rp. 2000/person (about 0.25 USD/person). Inside, you can find some rest area made from bamboo. You can also take a walk to go around the lake/reservoir, enjoy the dense of leaves on your right and left side.<br /><o:p></o:p><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">On the day of our visit here, there wasn’t many people seen here, or maybe it was still early in the morning. Usually, this area always crowded by young people, especially in the Saturday night. People come here for dating, fishing, family gathering, etc. This are also full in the Lebaran day (Islamic day, after fasting month), most people gather here since the ticket is cheap enough.<o:p></o:p></span><i style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br /></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />Continue – <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Surosowan</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Palace</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, the sultan’s residence<o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /><span style=";font-family:";font-size:10;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:";font-size:10;" ><o:p><br /></o:p> </span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:10;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:";font-size:10;" ><o:p><br /></o:p></span><i style=""><span style=";font-family:";font-size:10;" ><br /><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>NURUL FARIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08276842447300158966noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500729440581472503.post-41158939563635991042008-08-05T08:15:00.000-07:002008-08-05T08:32:57.516-07:00BANTEN GREAT MOSQUE, SUROSOWAN PALACE, KAIBON PALACE, SPEELWIJK FORTRESS – THE TRUTH EVIDENCES OF BANTEN SULTANATE VICTORY<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">(PART – 1) <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial Black";"><br />BANTEN SULTANATE<o:p></o:p></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>Talking of the glorious of Islamic period in Indonesian history is tasteless without mentioning Banten kingdom which reached the glorious moment at the time of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa ruled the kingdom. Here is my journey to the old Banten which called as Bantam in the European perspective long century ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>In the 12<sup>th</sup> until 16<sup>th</sup> century, Banten has already known as a big, famous harbor as connection among the islands in <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region> and also across the country region. Banten harbor was lively and busy with traders or merchants that came from various countries, especially from <st1:place st="on">Gujarat</st1:place> (<st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>), Malay, Chinese, Portuguese, <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>, and Dutch. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>Banten already has important roles in its time. Its strategic function due to Banten was laid in the international’s voyage and trading. Banten is located in the Sunda strait coastal, made up Banten as a crossing gate of <st1:place st="on">Sumatra</st1:place> and Java islands. Banten was also known as the exporter of black pepper during the 15<sup>th</sup> century.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>The arrangement of the Banten city was also interesting. The 2<sup>nd</sup> sultan of Banten, Maulana Yusuf, placed the citizen in order based on ability and region. The foreign village was placed outside the city gate, for example “Pakojan” village in the west of Karangantu trade market was occupied by traders from mid east, “Pecinan” village was occupied by Chinese traders, “Kepandean” village was occupied by blacksmith, “Kamasan” village was the center of gold manufacturing, etc. There were also villages based on social strata, e.g. “Kademangan” for Demangs (village headman in Java); “Kesantrian” for knights, Senapati (Commander in Chief), and royal soldiers; etc.<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br /><o:p></o:p>The sultan ran his kingdom from his royal palace, known as Surosowan palace. The sultan also made his ritual religion service in Great Mosque that placed not far from the palace. However, today, the only left just the ruins, except the great mosque which until today is one of the main destinations of Indonesian people for “ziarah” (visiting sacred place). The other left behind are the great mosque, artificial lake (reservoir) “tasik Ardi”, ruins of Kaibon palace, ruins of Speelwijk fortress, and other are house of worships.<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br /><o:p></o:p>The first sultan of Banten was Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin. He is the son of “Sunan (title for the holy man who first brought Islam to Java) Gunung Jati”. Maulana Hasanuddin was succeeded by his son, Maulana Yusuf. Just after Maulana Yusuf died, there was power struggle between Jepara prince and Maulana Muhammad (son of Maulana Yusuf). Maulana Muhammad won the struggle by the support of religious leaders. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><o:p><br /></o:p>Banten kingdom reached the glorious period in the time of Abdul Fathi Abdul Fatah which is famous as Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa.

Besides the rhinoceros, there are around 700 varieties of plants including 57 rare species.

At the time, 4 years ago, the travel only cost Rp. 250,000/person or about USD 35/person including meals, barrack for sleeping, and other administration matter. It was very cheap travel to Ujung Kulon, since many people have to pay more expensive than this. Well, this is maybe like backpacker, with limited accommodation. So, don’t hope to get luxury traveling, take it whatever there is.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />We leaved for Cilegon in the morning, and arrived at Sumur – Labuan at noon (<st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> can be reached by many ways. However, the common way is only two ways. First, taking a boat form SUMUR – <st1:place st="on">Labuan</st1:place> - Anyer. Sumur is a small fisherman village.You can take a boat here to deliver to <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> which the cost is about Rp. 1.5 Million or about USD 156 per boat. The capacity of the boat itself is about 15 – 20 persons, made from wood which has been modified. The other way is through TAMAN JAYA village. This village is the nearest to the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Ujung</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placename st="on">Kulon</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">National Park</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.

We continued the journey by boat and it only took around 3.5 hours arrived at <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. The travel along the sea was also amazing. Feel the sea water spark in our skin, the wind blow along the sea caught up our face. Strong sea wave happened when we passed by the “Selamat Datang” bay because it directly face the ocean, however after we through that bay, the wave is not as strong as it is. The wave became friendlier, as we entered the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> border. <st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType> located between <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Panaitan</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and the tip of Ujung Kulon peninsula. The water around was so calm and quiet. Soon, we reached the small harbor of <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. As we getting closer, we could watch the white sand became more and more large. It’s amazing! The white sand beach was glowing, reflected the sunshine. Blue coastal marine was very clear as you could see the fish back and forth inside of it. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><st1:placename st="on"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial Black";"><br />PEUCANG</span></st1:PlaceName><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial Black";"> <st1:placetype st="on">ISLAND</st1:PlaceType> – THE <st1:place st="on">PARADISE</st1:place><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />The motorboat started to dock in the jetty.

Actually, in there are kind of lodges, of course with different price. If you still want comfortably as like in the city, you can take luxury hostel “Flora” which facilitated with AC, hot water, refrigerator that cost around USD 50/room/night. Lodge “Fauna” - moderate price – is a wood building consists of 7 rooms, which each capacity of each room is 3 – 5 persons. However, the cheapest is lodging, that we were stay a night, just a building like barrack; we can rent a bed for sleeping. <span style=""> </span>For meal, we bring rice cooker, and other food that already cooked. If you want to try restaurant menu, there is a restaurant also in this <st1:place st="on">Island</st1:place> which provides both Indonesian and International menu.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial Black";"><br />CIDAON – THE WILD ANIMAL OBSERVATION<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />In the afternoon after get some rest, we decided to go to Cidaon where we could see wild ox feed in the large grass field. To reach this area, you must accompany by the Jagawana (they are the park ranger who have familiar with this area) as a guide. So, we sailed again to the Cidaon, but it didn’t take to much time. In Cidaon, there is an observation tower where we can watch the wild animal. Unfortunately, we found not of the wild ox, just some peacocks seen in the field. Having some pictures in Cidaon, we back to <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> due to the day turned by night. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />Night at <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> is also amazing. However, you must put your jacket on your body. The night wind is so cool. We watched clusters of fishes swim near the jetty. They were so visible under the sea water crowed around the wood bridge. Feel like to fishing!<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial Black";"><br />WHITE <st1:city st="on">SANDY</st1:City> AND <st1:placename st="on">BLUE</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placename st="on">CLEARANCE</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">BEACH</st1:PlaceType> OF <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">PEUCANG</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">ISLAND</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />The next morning, we watched sunrise in the beach, than swimming to feel the cool blue coastal water. The sea water is really clear and blue. We could see all creatures under the water, swim along. Many little fishes, colorful could be seen, beautiful corals, etc. It was the first experience swimming with many fishes around us, didn’t realize that some jellyfish touch our skin make us feel little pain and itchy. <span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />Feel satisfy, we took some breakfast in the lodging, then we continued tracking to Tanjung Layar. Again, we went by boat to Cibom and continued by foot to Tanjung Layar where we could find the old lighthouse. At Cibom, the beach is full of steep corals, so to get the land we should continue with little boat named “sampan”, well be careful here, watch your stuffs not fallen into the sea water. Actually the water level is only about 100cm height when we should change with little boat. Little accident happened, one of my friend lost his balance, he fallen with his camera. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial Black";"><br />CIBOM AND TANJUNG LAYAR – THE JUNGLE TRACKING AND LIGHTHOUSE<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />Tracking to Tanjung Layar only took one hour, passing by the tropical forest that fully of big trees that mostly wound around with parasites like liana and epiphyte as the characteristic of this forest. After about one hour walking, we arrived at the lighthouse. The view from here is really amazing. As far as the eyes take a look, it was like a blue sea water carpet with coral landscape and green forest at the edge. <span style=""> </span>What beautiful scenery!<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />Just after noon, we arrived in <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Peucang</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> again.

It is hard to leave Ujung Kulon, we still wanted to explore. There were several places we’ve visited yet due to our limited time. We left our heart in this <st1:place st="on">Island</st1:place>. Hope someday we’ll come back here.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial Black";"><br />HOME SWEET HOME<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />The weather was very nice as we left for the <st1:place st="on">Island</st1:place>. We were so happy, made fun with joke, singing, etc. But it was dramatically changed when in the middle of our way. The weather was not too good during our sailing back to Sumur. It was probably stormy in <st1:place st="on">Indian Ocean</st1:place> that directly facing to “Selamat Datang” bay. It was hard wave attack our boat. Adrift and buffeted in the sea, and look not too far away from us, a boat nearly sank. The boat helper continued, harder and harder to scoop up the water that entered the boat, just to keep our boat stable. All of us were very frightened, silence, and prayed all along the way. How if we couldn’t passed it? Fortunately, after we passed by the bay, the wave has subsided. What a relief!<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />Nearly 15.00 pm, we arrived at Sumur. Take Ashar prayer first in the Mushola, then continued driving to Cilegon. It was not as smooth as we predicted. The road from Sumur to <st1:place st="on">Labuan</st1:place> is up and down, and the condition of our hired-car was not good. We even had to stop for while, for cooling down the car engine. We were drop in Labuan to have dinner at “<st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">Padang</st1:City></st1:place>” food stall, then continued driving and arrived at Cilegon at <st1:time hour="19" minute="0" st="on">19.00pm</st1:time>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br />Still dare to go Ujung Kulon?

I don’t know why, maybe she just got inspiration from one of Indonesian’s children song that she got in her playgroup. I think most of the kids like to sing “Naik, Naik ke Puncak Gunung” too.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">So we decided to go to PINANG HILL, since it is the only higher landscape in the Cilegon area and commonly use for the biker for their exercise or the people who want to take a walk with environment nature all around. Actually, the people are use to call PINANG HILL as and <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">PINANG</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">MOUNTAIN</st1:placetype></st1:place>, but I think it is not high enough to be called as mountain so I just say it as hill.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><br />PINANG HILL can be accessed by two alternative ways, but if you have your little kids with you, I suggest you to take a route from radio transmission station of PINANG HILL post. You will find that this route has been paved and the slope is slightly, so it not will make your kids too tired. You also can take your vehicle along with you if you probably not feel like to walk. <span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><br />After had breakfast and bath, we headed for PINANG HILL. The guard in the entry says that it will take about 30 minutes by foot. So, me and hubby agreed to walk, since we thought what we be here if we didn’t go for walk? Azka was very exciting. She asked me to sing while we were walking. In singing a song for my kids, I do like to change or substitute the lyric. I change it with some word to enrich their vocabulary, and sometimes I make it in English.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 17.85pt; text-align: justify;"><i style=""><span style=""><br />Climb, Climb to the Mountain Top<o:p></o:p><br />It so high, it’s so very high<o:p></o:p><br />In the left and right, I see everything<o:p></o:p><br />There are a lot of trees</span></i><span style=""><br /><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><br />When we saw flower, butterflies or other beautiful creatures, I will sing:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 17.85pt;"><i style=""><span style=""><br />Climb, Climb to the Mountain Top<o:p></o:p><br />It so high, it’s so very high<o:p></o:p><br />In around of us, I see everything<o:p></o:p><br />Beautiful flowers and butterflies<o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><o:p></o:p><br />Saw beautiful yellow leaves falling, and covering the street along us:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt;"><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span><i style=""><span style=""><br />Climb, Climb to the Mountain Top<o:p></o:p><br />It so high, it’s so very high<o:p></o:p><br />In my way to walk, I see everything<o:p></o:p><br />Leaves are falling from the trees<o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><o:p></o:p><br />Saw the bright sky:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 17.85pt;"><i style=""><span style=""><br />Climb, Climb to the Mountain Top<o:p></o:p><br />It so high, it’s so very high<o:p></o:p><br />In the sky so blue, I see everything<o:p></o:p><br />Beautiful white clouds and birds are flying. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><o:p></o:p><br />And of course the sound of nature:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt;"><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span><i style=""><span style=""><br />Climb, Climb to the Mountain Top<o:p></o:p><br />It so high, it’s so very high<o:p></o:p><br />In the surrounding, I heard everything<o:p></o:p><br />Birds sing, and the blowing wind<o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><br />It’s so beautiful place to go, you can see the yellow leaves falling.

I never dreamt before that my body could enlarge like this, how skinny I was in the last 7 years. Besides that, Aqeela, My second little daughter, 2 years old, she refused to walk when we climb the hill. She wanted me to carry her along the way. Oh may! However, fortunately, she insists to walk when we went down the hill. Oh, what such a clever girl! I didn’t think she has known that climb is more tired than go down! :(<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><o:p></o:p><br />Well, the positive thing is I just realized that this kind of activity is very good for educating our children than to leave them watching television. Hey, where have you been! I was to busy to take them to get close with the nature, where they can learn many things. Emm, next month I’ll take them to RUMAH DUNIA – GOLA GONG in Serang.<o:p></o:p></span></p>NURUL FARIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08276842447300158966noreply@blogger.com1
