WW: Jayapura and Its Surroundings

Amidst my full day meeting and packed schedule during our visit to Jayapura, I took the liberty to capture the beauty of Jayapura, the capital city of Papua, and its surroundings.                                                                             
Here are some snaps I got with my phone, Jayapura at a glimpse!

Jayapura, Papua
Welcome to Jayapura, Papua

 We stayed at Swiss-Belhotel Papua Jayapura, located at the city center and overlooking the Jotefa Bay. Every morning, I was blessed with incredible natural landscape and pure seagull song from the bay. It was priceless.
Morning from Swiss-Belhotel Papua Jayapura

 Even from above, when we were about to land in this beautiful city, we have been mesmerized by its breathtaking beauty. Sentani Lake in the morning and clear blue sky along the way really made my day. It looks so peaceful!

Above the clouds..minutes before landing
 And by the time you stepped out of the plane, clear blue sky and puffy clouds greeted you.

 At night, we had dinner by the bay and enjoyed the glimmering reflections of the city. The fish and seafood platters in Jayapura are among the freshest and they taste marvelous! 


And as I have shared previously at WW: Bukit Jokowi - Jayapura Skyline Papua, the Holtekamp Bridge from afar looks very catchy!

All in all, I love coming back to Jayapura after around 7 years.
May your beauty be well preserved and hopefully I can come and visit you again soon.

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun linking up!

    Selama ini aku ngebayangin kalo daerah Papua tu masih hutan belantara dengan sedikit penduduk. Gak nyangka sama sekali kalondi sana juga ada tempat indah buat dikunjungi. Masya Allah.

    Udah lama nggak injak Jayapura, padahal kotanya lumayan dekat dari kampung kelahiran saya di Serui. Cuma masalahnya balik ke Serui aja masih tanda tanya apalagi mo ke Jayapura, hehe

    Indah dan adem ya pemandangan Jayapura ini. Sejauh mata memandang, warna hijau dan biru sangat mendominasi. Masih asri banget. Kemewahan yang sudah jarang dinikmati mata kita di kota.
