A lil' note on Kiluan, Lampung's hidden paradise...#2



Where were we on Kiluan?

Hmm...

First day, that is...

Next on my note is...our second day of course :D...


...................continued...................



After such a lovely afternoon in Kiluan island, great dinner and deep sleep, we were getting ready for the next itinerary, watching the dolphins...

And the morning came majestically…

morning in front of our cottage...



woke up at 5, trying to take some pictures it was cloudy…

but the sea was calm, so we got ourselves ready and prepared the kids…at 6.20 am we were on Jukung, Indonesian traditional wooden canoe, ready to hit the water…

Jukung, the Indonesian traditional wooden canoe...

It was a bumpy ride, I’d say…everybody was wearing life vest, camera on dry bags and supplies were ready…40 minutes ride to the open sea with cloudy sky was quite an experience :D…waves coming et going, really giving you the feeling of riding a horse..
I instantly remembered  gangnam style :p…

ready to hit the water....
on the way to open water in the morniiiing....

peeping group of dolphins :D....





Well, it didn’t take long to meet those beautiful creatures…









we managed to see some groups, happily strolling for breakfast :D…although we didn’t always got the best shot as they were pretty fast, but at least we have experienced it “D…


going solo....


another boat with 2 ladies were sailing round us as well…so, we  were not alone, just in case :D…












After the dolphin session, we had a tour to the surrounding islands and rocks....pretty fascinating indeed to see big waves hitting the rocks....

Batu Candi, if I'm not mistaken..








Then, off we went to another part of Kiluan Bay, spending time on beach swimming, playing with the sand ...building castles, digging up holes and simply enjoying the lovely sandy beach...


 Here as some of our photos while enjoying the beach... 


busy baby :D...

leyeeeh leyeeeh :D




















Then, next on our agenda is snorkeliiing…
yup, here comes my favorite, underwater world…



niceeeeee, as you can see on my photos…:D..




Well, unfortunately, all the good things have to end as well…

we needed to go back to Bandar Lampung before 3pm and the sky was increasingly darker, promising heavy-pouring rain…

So, we packed our stuff, headed back to the Bay, showered and had another wonderful lunch…home-made salted fish with steamed vegetables, sambel terasi, et crackers…Mengan pai, as Lampungnese would say….


Then we kissed Kiluan goodbye and promised to come back…


Well, that’s our story in Kiluan…what’s yours? :D
