VILLA SOLONG

good morning...good evening....good night everyone

hehe aku tidak tu , apa ditempat kalian sekarang pagi , sore ataukah malam hari... but for me, bukan masalah pukul berapa saat ini , vacation must be on the top of the list to do hahaha

so, i'm gonna tell you

banyuwangi adalah tempat dimana aku dilahirkan. tapi aku mulai berpisah dengan kota tersebut sejak aku kelas 2 SMA, karena aku harus pindah ke malang. sejak itu , aku jarang sekali pulang ke banyuwangi. Dengan kuliah dan kerja part-time yang aku jalani sekarang, mendambah daftar "reasons why i can't go home". ku akui, sejak aku meninggalkan banyuwangi banyak sekali perubahan yang terjadi mulai dari infrastruktur sampai destinasi wisata yang semakin membaik. nah, salah satu destinasi wisata terbaru selain yang pernah aku ceritakan di post sebelumnya adalah VILLA SOLONG. dulunya pantai ini hanya pantai biasa tempat nongkrong anak anak remaja dan warga sekitar. but now? it's really amazing.

pantai yang dulunya biasa saja kini dirubah menjadi tempat menginap yang cukup mewah, dengan villa yang memiliki view pantai paling strategis, kolam renang , restaurant dan semuanya dikemas ala kebudayaan banyuwangi.

pantai solong berada di daerah sukowidi , Banyuwangi. untuk lokasinya berkisar 500 meter dari jalan raya, melewati permukiman penduduk. entrance? untuk biaya masuknya menurut aku lumayan murah, karena hanya membayar Rp 4000,- dan FYI saat itu aku hanya membawa mobil dan 1 teman. sayangnya sata itu semua villa has been booked by someone, sehingga kami tidak diperbolehkan untuk masuk ke dalam villanya. kami hanya diperbolehkan mengambil gambar dari luar villa saja.

my friend told me , kalau di villa solong diwajibkan untuk membeli 1 menu bisa makanan atau minuman, so i did. yaaa jadi ini lagi lagi permainan marketing untuk membuat restorannya laku. sayangnya, harga di restoran itu cukup merogoh kocek ya untuk kami yang hanya berniat nongkrong hehe. untuk harga menunya start from Rp 15.000 daaaaannnnnn TIDAK RECOMMENDED. so, here we go, saya akan memberi tau kalian yang sudah penasaran dengan Villa Solong

SEE? how beautiful is it

dan kolam renang yang aku katakan kepada kalian memang tidak teralu besar tapi cukup bersih, namun sayang kolam renangnya tidak ditutupi dengan atap sehingga jika kita berengan siang hari pasti we will got sunburn.

kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa................. i can't move on from that place......

and thankyou my greatest friend who took my picture :) daaan aku merekomendasikan tempat ini untuk kalian datangi,

FOX HILL

okay, so i'm gonna tell you my short jouney haha

a couple weeks ago, i took a day off from my job . i need a short trip to refresh my self from daily activities. so,  i decided to go to the hill, which is near from my place. the hill called "BUDUG ASU", but in english people called it "FOX HILL". the hill is only on 1400 AMSL, so i think that is really short trip. 

FYI, from my place to the budug asu was not take too much time . only about 45 minutes you can get there. for people who lives in malang city would know about a dictric called lawang which is the district where the budug asu is. before we get there, we should passed the largest tea farm in malang where the parking lot is located . we should pay Rp,15.000 ( fifteen thousand rupias) for a ticket . 

then, from the parking lot to the hill we should WALK!!!! yap walking to the hill take about 1,5 hours if you never stop or take a rest even a while hehe.  the way to get there is not to hard, because almost the way are from solid sand and rocks. but, at the time so many people use a jeep or motor trail to get the hill. sometimes , i might stop and move step aside the road when the really fast vehicle passed me . on the way ,i could see a lot of rubber tree, which is the one of great view there.

see? how great it was

there was two way to get the hill.  the first way only can passed by people  and the second is the way where vehicles passed  . you know , the  first way more challenging than the other, so i choose it. actually no, i choose it bcs that was the faster route and i didn't have money to rent a vehicle hahaha. hiking to the hill needed 45 minutes for me because the land was  sooooooooooo slippery, there was no foothold, and the tilt about 60 degrees , you can imagine how super duper steep it was.

really, i was so exhausted .. but the view? panorama? was so kewl!!!!!!

I FEEL LYK DORA THE EXPLORER

there is a tree house at budug asu which is became a one of beautiful spot for hunting photo by visitors include me haha

soooo, that's all. don't worry if you think you gonna die because starving or dehydrate because on the top of the hill you will find a lil eatery :). LAST
LEMME TAKE A SELFIE :)

LABYRINTH

so...
yesterday i went to the coban rondo waterfall with afanin. but, actually i didn't get the waterfall yet. i just visited the playground. this place is near from malang city. you just take about 40 minutes by motorcycle. 

so many playground before we entering the gate of the waterfall. but the one that made me curious is a grass labyrinth. why? because it just one and only in Malang city. when you wanna go there you must paid Rp.4000,- for each motorcycle and Rp.15.000,-for each person at the first gate. than... for entering each playground you gonna get a charge AGAIN . 

 this photo is taken from google :)

so, here we are... we just took a lot of photos because it was rainy at the time so we didn't get a long at there

 

i love this hydrangea, but i did something bad..... i put it in my bag

 thank you afanin to accompanied me

WEDI IRENG

Yuhuuuu the next trip issssss BEACH..
Beach beach beach... Oh, I love the beach
Banyuwangi has a lot of beautiful beaches which are still virgin. But I decided to visit one of them. It named WEDI IRENG BEACH. It took 2 hours from Banyuwangi city. If you want to go there, just follow the Pulau merah sign and you'll find it because the place is near from pulau merah beach.

So when you visit wedi ireng beach you will see many tourism objects like Pulau more beach, mustika island, and pancer beach because it's very near from those all tourism object. When you go to the beach just turn right from Pulau merah. Walk about 1 km and you'll see pancer beach it will be your parking lot. to entering wedi ireng beach you only pay 5000 rupiahs for parking and if you wanna go to the wedi ireng beach you must go uphill, walk in the middle of the forest and it takes 40 minutes.to reach the hill you must cross a lil bay by boat. you only pay 5000 rupiahs for each passanger. that are not only the bad news, but the worst is the road is not good as your wish.  more over in the rain season. the road will be full of mud, if you don't be carefull you will stuck on it. ouh, you must see around because thorns and dogs everywhere. i'm sorry that i can't post a picture of the road .

finnaly, after my struggle to pass the hill i found this...

the weather burn my skin  :( moreover my face,meh. OMG that was so hot. but idc, i did it. i could walked in this beauty paradise. i'm so proud of me hahaha. 

look at the gradation of the sea.... mehhhhh so awesome

aaaaahhhh i wanna swim swim like a dolphinnn

yoooshh...after took so many pictures i go home by a boat and paid 25.000 rupiahs for each person , but the driver asked me to see arround mustika island and just add the charge ten thousand rupiahs. hmmmm i thought that's not a bad idea. we went to mustika island by a boat. it was take 45 minutes from wedi ireng beach to pancer beach (the parking lot) and we paid  Rp 35.000 for each person. don't forget to your safety because we would be in the high seas.
idk, why it called mustika island but something that i know that there's no one in this island.  we can't walk through the island because if we want to.. we must climb it up. this island doesn't have a beach for us to walk . so i think, it's more look liked a massive coral.

my boat walked slowly.... *ignore the n y e m p i l s foot behind me*

it's danger if we were being  too close to the island due the high wave will hit the boat and we're gonna crashed with the coral in front of us. that's why my boat just walked slowly to gave me a moment to take the picture and still take a distance from the island about 500 meters. aaaand look at this beautiful island.

both , in the bottom are giant coral that would like to hit our boat when we walked too close to the island

now, i knw why it called mustika. in Indonesia, mustika describe an important and beautiful things. just, look at the island. the coral has an awesome carving like carved by human but actually it's not. maybe the huge waves made it , or anything . i can't too much make an assumption haha. but one thing for sure that , OMFG it's cool!!!!

don't ask why i always hanging out with firoh, because a friend without big mouth  is hard to find. yap, some friend always said "when we can traveling together? " buuuttt when i ask them to join they ans "how to get there?", "sorry i can't maybe next time", "no money in my pocket...", "sorry i have to...." oh goooddd sometimes it makes me upset... but..it's okay

hmmm people said that "heaven is hard to reach", and that's all true. that's why i'm really proud of me because already walked on one of this paradise ....

thnks god!!

KAWAH WURUNG

For the second vacation, I spent my time in Bondowoso. Actually, I was not in the bondowoso city, but I went to the some place in the bondowoso's highland.  first place that i visited was KAWAH WURUNG. why it called kawah wurung? kawah means crater in English and wurung is javanese languange, it means cancel in English. so the kawah wurung is a creater which is not yet became a truly creater like kawah ijen or kawah putih . just imagine it like a lake without a water that surrounded by so many hills and all of it covered by a lot of grass. Yup, that's looked like a meadow.

i went kawah wurung from Banyuwangi because the way is better and faster than from bondowoso . It only took about 3.5 hours from Banyuwangi city. For you who never come here, i suggest you to bring a jeep if you go to there by a car or bring a motor-trail if you go there with a motorcycle because the way is really really baaaaaaaaad. you must be careful if the rainy season coming, because the road is not stable so it occur a landslide.

Even though the trip was tense , but we paid with a beautiful view from the kawah wurung. Aw, I forgot to tell you that we got a charge in parking lot only 5 thousand rupiahs for each motorcycle. but  up to you if you wanna go there by a walk, you can leave your vehicle in parking lot but you also can get there with your vehicle. Emm because I want to continue my trip to the next place, so i ride my vehicle to go up there . 

and taraaaa....

one of an awesome picture that painted by God for us. i just said SUBHANALLAH SUBHANALLAH SUBHANALLAAAH... i can't describe it by words. that's too beautiful .

 i felt in peace when the wind say hi to me. hmmm....how came syahrini went to the new zaeland if Indonesia have a copy of it. 

the second destination is Villa Jampit. my friend said that Villa Jampit has a great view of flower garden. it's about 45 minutes from kawah wurung. my motorcycle always slipped by a mud and it made my trip need a long-time. in the middle of the the trip we through a place that looked like Kawah Wurung, but it wasn't. it called kawah bulan sabit. because the crater is not spherical like kawah wurung but it's like a crescent moon. poorly , i can't show you how the awesome it is because it only seem if you are in the air (by helicopter or  plane. )

 see? you can't see anything

and, after we passed a village we got the Villa Jampit. for the ticket we charged ten thousand rupiahs for 2 people.  hmmm for me, that's not special at all after i came in to the house. oke i'll describe it for you. Villa Jampit built at 1927 by a Dutchman. And now, the Villa belongs to someone who live near that village (indonesian). in the left , there are 2 house trees which is looked like an ex monkey's bed. haha but i love that place

then , we  talk about a Villa. from the in front of the Villa it looks normal just like an old house in usual. but when you come in , you'll be surprise because you are in the second floor. yap, bedrooms are in the first floor. it seems like underground house BUT it is not!! when go down stair, you'll see a beautiful flower garden. 

hmmmm it's hard to describe so i'll give you some photos of Villa Jampit

please ignore the girl in the picture above 

we went home when the hard rain going down . wohoooo the track was really bad. mud everywhere, my motorcycle slipped again and again. we looked like a rat -__-. but alhamdulilaaah we safe until the roadway. 

on the way, we visited the last place . it's near kawah ijen, i called it belerang waterfall because the water is contained by Sulfur . you can't drink it, swim swim like dolphin there, or just wash your face bcos it's dangerous.  

 

at 3 pm. we returned to banyuwangi with a very wonderful experience. i will not regret to came here because have an opportunity to see how the Almighty created it for us is an unforgetble moment ever. 

Karanganyar Waterfall

Aloha readers
Sudah lama saya nggak menulis setelah post  yang terakhir. Selain karena banyaknya kegitan , liburan semester ganjil ini bikin saya lupa segala galanya. Just slept, travelled, slept again , travelled again, and slept again and again. Sampai lupa kalau ada blog yang harus diurusin haha

Oke, untuk menghilangkan kekecewan readers karena sudah absen selama beberapa minggu , saya akan menceritakan hasil dari travelling saya waktu pulang di kampoeng halaman tertjintahh.

Yap.. Banyuwangi.
Dulu yang orang tau Banyuwangi hanyalah kota kecil diujung timur pulau jawa tempat dimana para wisatawan singgah untuk menyebrang ke pulau dewata. Namun, seolah berbalik  360 derajat. Kini, Banyuwangi sudah cukup dikenal banyak orang dari kota maupun negara lain. Tidak hanya karena event unik dan menarik yang diadakan di Banyuwangi, namun keindahan alam diBanyuwangi juga menjadi salah satu magnet bagi para touris asing maupun lokal.

Salah satu tempat wisata yang baru akhir akhir ini adalah sebuah air terjun yang dinamai air terjun kembar oleh warga sekitar. Kalau dulu di kota Banyuwangi hanya ada air terjun Kalibendo, namun sekarang air terjun Kembar ini menjadi primadona para wisatawan lokal.

Air terjun ini berada di dusun Karanganyar, Banyuwangi. Cukup menempuh perjalanan 30 menit untuk sampai ke air terjun tersebut dari kota Banyuwangi. Bagi orang Banyuwangi asli  yang belum tahu tempat wisata ini perlu diketahui bahwa air terjun kembar ini hanya 500 meter dari kolam Pemandian Taman Suruh.

Untuk melihat air terjun ini kita hanya perlu membayar parkir 2000 rupiah /sepeda motor. Selanjutnya dari tempat parkir kita akan menuruni jalan yang sedikit terjal dan basah sehingga harus berhati hati agar tidak tergelincir. Dalam perjalanan turun menuju air terjun , kalau beruntung kita akan disambut oleh monyet monyet yang biasanya duduk di tengah jalan. Perjalanan turun ke air terjun hanya memakan waktu 5 menit dari tempat parkir

Ini lah air terjun kembar yang dari tadi saya bicarakan . salah satu keindahan alam yang Allah buat untuk kita.

Well, itu jalan jalan pertama saya di kota tercinta ketika liburan kemarin. Tunggu postingan  jalan jalan saya berikutnya yang tidak kalah menarik dari yang satu ini. Ciao!!
