WW: Last Day of 2018


Mutun beach lampung

How’s 2018 treating you so far?
Great?
I certainly hope so!

We spent the last day of 2019 cruising at the beach.
Mutun Beach and Tangkil Island in Lampung are two lovely places we went to on December 31st, 2018.
Here are some snaps we took during that day.









How's your last day of 2018?
Hopefully you spent it with your loved ones.
And have a blessed, wonderful 2019!



Enjoy your day and join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday link party!

Tangkil Island, Lampung

I clearly long for a clean sandy beach, sunny day, turquoise water and majestic sky...

#MyItchyFeet: sehari seru di Pulau Tangkil, Lampung..

Ini judulnya edisi kangen kampung halaman :)...

Jangan boseeen yah kalau saya bercerita tentang Lampung dan segala keindahannya :). Bukannya apa-apa, walaupun Lampung jaraknya hanya 30-menit penerbangan dari Jakarta atau sekitar 8 jam - tergantung kemacetan :) - via darat, tapi rasanya belum semua orang tau tentang cantiknya propinsi di ujung Selatan pulau Sumatera ini. Ayoo...siapa yang belum pernah ke Lampung :)..

So, just before our departure to NYC, we traveled around Lampung to enjoy its endless beauty. This time our group is slightly different, as I took my mother-in-law and Udi''s sister and cousins with us. As Udi's mom is not that young anymore, we didn't travel that far. And we decided to go to Pulau Tangkil or Tangkil island.



Tangkil Island...

Bo et cousin Abin enjoying the water...

Pulau Tangkil terletak tidak jauh dari Pantai Mutun di  Pesawaran, lampung. naik mobil sekitar 30 - 40 menit dari Bandar Lampung, tergantung kondisi macet di jalan. Karena jalan yang dilalui memang kecil, jangan kaget kalau jalan menuju Pantai Mutun dan sekitarnya bisa macet terutama di hari libur.  Memang banyak kendaraan yang lewat, mulai dari angkot, mobil angkutan antarkota sampai truk pengangkut barang-barang dan hasil tambak maupun nelayan. Ditambah kualitas jalan yang sudah perlu segera diperbaiki...

Mutun beach...quite crowded on weekends :)


Mutun Beach...


Tapi semua perjuangan ini terbayar dengan jajaran pantai yang indah...

Otw to Tangkil island...

Pantai Mutun yang juga selalu ramai, terutama di akhir pekan dan hari libur, buat kami tidak terlalu nyaman untuk dinikmati. Makanya kali ini kami menyebrang ke Pulau Tangkil, yang asli bisa kelihatan dari Pantai Mutun.

on the boat otw to Tangkil Island...smileeeee....

It takes around 10 - 15 minutes to go toTangkil Island from Mutun Beach. You can take water taxi which are ready along the shore. The cost is Rp 5.000 - Rp 10.000 per person (app. USD 0.50 - 0.80) for this trip. You can pay extra if you want to explore the other side of the island.



welcome to Tangkil island...


Once you've arrived, you will have to pay another entrance ticket to this island. If I'm not mistaken, it was Rp 6.000,- (USD 0.60) per person. I was a bit upset that the  hut there was more expensive than the one in Mutun beach. We had to pay Rp 100.000,- for a temporary hut. Well, as I didn't want to spoil my holiday and we needed to have some rood under the scorching sun, we just paid it.


Then the kids were directly running around and jumping to the water. Well, I won't blame them...who can say no to that inviting cool and clear water. I can't :). So we spent so much time swimming around, snorkeling and enjoying the beach. 






did you see the parasailing above? :)


You can also try parasailing and other water sport too, like banana boat and jet ski. But we didn't try it. It was expensive I guess :). You'll see the choices down here on my photos :)




a lot to choose from...

I just simply love the beach...so serene...


Clear blue sky...

They also provide facilities like restrooms and changing rooms..quite clean..



We walked, or rather swam a bit further so that we had better spot for snorkeling. Then we found this cool spot and took many pictures indeed.


clear water..but you can see the strong current in there...








I also snorkeled a bit...and found some pipe fish and other interesting underwater creatures. 




The current was strong, though, so i couldn't stay still properly to take underwater pictures. The water was clear with good visibility, but the current was really problematic. Here's what I got...





1 ikan bendera nyempil :)...
I don't know what it is...
So, jangan lupa untuk bawa logistik yang cukup kalau ke Pulau ini yaaaa.

Walaupun banyak yang jualan, tapi mostly makanan yang ada adalah mie instant. Itu pula sepertinya yang membuat banyak terlihat sampah bekas mie instan di mana-mana...sebel bangeeet deh liatnya :(. Plus bawa air putih yang banyak, apalagi jika hari panas. Perlengkapan berenang pun lebih baik bawa sendiri, walaupun saya sempat melihat ada penyewaan ala-alat snorkeling. Tapi biasanya perlengkapannya cuma bikin emosi aja karena ngg bagus :).

All in all, it was an enjoyable day. After being under the sun for around 6 hours _ wheew, that's long! -, we called the water taxi and went back to Mutun beach where we parked our car.

Hope to see you around, Tangkil Island...

And to those who haven't been here, go and see it for yourself :)
Viva #MyItchyFeet :)
