Back to Tegal Mas Island, Lampung

Snorkelling time!

Snorkeling time!

It becomes sort of a tradition during Lebaran Day break for us to go to the beach.
Or in our case, to the island.

The first day of Lebaran is always filled with family gatherings as well as visiting the graves of deceased family. 
Not only one or two, but we might visit 4 - 5 houses as well as graves. It was fun but at the same time tiring. But again, Lebaran Day is only once a year and it worth a celebration!
Not to mention the food!
Oh my, glorious food so rich and delicious and sometimes it's only available in this super special occasion!

Cheers from our family..

And now ... back to snorkelling.
As you can see in my previous posts, whenever my family and I go back to Lampung, we always manage to go hopping the islands or snorkelling. 
I have to say it becomes sort of a habit that we all love so much.

Back to Tegal Mas Island...

This time, we decided to go back to Tegal Mas Island.
The last 2 visits we went to Spot Sari near Sari Ringgung beach as well as Tegal Mas. I shared that in WW: Tegal Mas Island Lampung - continued and WW: Tegal Mas Island Lampung in a glimpse.

We went early from home, around 8.30 in the morning.
Even that early morning, we were already stuck in the traffic LOL.
It was a long queue on the main road heading to the beach as people are heading to the beaches dotting along Lampung Bay. It was a bit frustrating in the beginning but we just enjoyed the trip with movies and books.

Once we arrived in Sari Ringgung beach, we directly went to our rented boat as we had booked for it. Good thing we have our usual boat renter, Romi, standing by at this crowded beach. We brought all our stuff, including food, drinks, and snorkelling gear, to the boat and off we went to the island.

It took us 20 minutes to cross the bay and reach Tegal Mas Island.

It was super packed with visitors indeed!

Well, it was Lebaran Day, so it's as expected. Besides, Tegal Mas has decent accommodations so we have people who have stayed in. We saw boats coming and going off the island as well, bringing more visitors.

When we arrived, we directly found the spot where we put our stuff and getting ready to swim. My kids were super ready and they plunged themselves on the ocean. For sure they enjoyed the sun, the weather, the ocean. 

Here are some photos from our last adventure.

Nemo and watch underwater..

it was a lovely day!

Will get you more details for you all.
See you on the next story!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls, and Friends

Let's go snorkeling

What a week we had!

After the Election Day, we had some days off for Easter Break!
So off we went to Lampung, again, to enjoy its endless beauty and for sure to meet our family.

Welcome to Tegal Mas

This time, we went to Sari Ringgung beach and headed straight to its snorkelling spot, Ringgung and Tegal Mas, around 2o minutes ride by boat. My kids were super excited and we went there with my sister and brother-in-law as well as their kids and my niece.

My son Bo enjoying snorkelling at Tegal Mas island

We had 2 snorkelling sessions and enjoyed our yummy lunch at Tegal Perak, an isolated beach behind Tegal Mas Island. We took tons of picture, went free diving and had ton of fun for sure.
Will certainly share more photos and videos from our fun time here and I sincerely hope you can visit this lovely place as well!

Bo and his cousin, Abin.

WW: Diving Trip in Lampung

Such a glorious sky! Diving trip in Lampung

Lampung has always been special for me and my family.

Not only that my hubby and I were born and raised here, but we also have our big family staying in this southern-most part of Sumatera Island.

I came here during weekend, enjoying the fast ferry service from Merak, the port in Jakarta/Serang, and new highway from Bakauheni, the port in Lampung, to Bandar Lampung, the capital city of Lampung.

It took around 6 hours, compared to the usual 8 - 9 hours before!

Really appreciate what my current President is doing to ensure connectivity among us all!

Diving Trip in Lampung

The diving trip took place in Batu Mandi and Pahawang Besar island, starting from 9 AM.
Leaving for the diving spot from Puri Gading Beach port, it took us around 2 hours to reach Batu Mandi.

Here are some photos during our diving trip in Lampung.
As for the underwater photos, they're coming!
