Go to Anyer again!!! This time is go to old lighthouse at Anyer. Lighthouse (or we call "Mercusuar" in Bahasa) in Anyer is the second oldest lighthouse in Indonesia. It is built in 1885 during Dutch colonial in the time of Willem III.

Anyer lighthouse is 75.5 metres in height and having 18 floors with the light ball is placed in the top of the houselights.



The kids were very excited, they enthusiastic climbed the iron stairs to go upstairs. I was really surprised looking that they were not felt exhausted at all climbing 18 floors, while their mother hardly could climb. Come on mom...!!!

Wow...!!! Fantastic!!
The scenery from the top of the lighthouse was amazing! The sea side, the road side, really spectacular. The wind blew touch our face.
The kids were excited by the light ball inside the lighthouse which can be rotated 360 degree, they kept asking what is that!! Probably they were thinking, it is not like as the ball lamp at their house :)
