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!

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.

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!

 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!

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

The beauty of Jayapura, Papua

Another week and another place to explore.
I am publishing this post from Papua, a wonderful piece of heaven on earth.

I visited this amazing city, Jayapura, way back in 2012 and fell in love instantly.
It's just drop dead beautiful.
Papua has long been known as hidden gem of Indonesia, although it is no longer hidden I suppose, as international community does pay attention to it. Its natural beauty, colourful cultures and friendly peopler priceless indeed.

Super happy me :)

I haven't really got time to explore wonderful Jayapura as I have series of meeting to attend in the course of 2 full days.Nevertheless, we managed to stop by at one of popular hang-out places here, as well as the local market and Papuan Batik shop. Such beautiful and colourful patterns!
