a little heaven called "Thousand Island"

Indonesia have many islands, from the biggest like Sumatera, Java, and Kalimantan, to the smallest like there wouldn't shown in map :-). Thousand Islands or Pulau Seribu is one of small cluster of coral islands. It's located in the north Jakarta, about 2 - 4 hours long by a traditional ship.

so why it's called "a little heaven"?. The story begin in Jakarta, one of the most populated city in the world. I live in Jakarta and every day, I only see office building, market, and another crowded place. There are only a few "green zone" in Jakarta. Life here was great, we can found what we need, But if there isn't any 'natural place'? don't we need a vacation to release our stress while working?

Yup, Then I decided to take a trip. I didn't know where to go. First I thought that BALI will be the right place. The problem was about the price. I didn't have much money to buy a ticket or pay any guide. 'The trip must go on' (talking myself) when I remembered about Pulau Seribu (Thousand Islands). I've heard a long time ago and the worse that I didn't notice that place earlier.

Then I searched on the Internet about Pulau Seribu. I must say WOOOW. Amazing, it didn't look like Bali, but it's awesome. Green-Blue water with the beautiful beach was shown in my laptop. I found the price. It's only about Rp 300.000,- (about $ 31) for 2 nights and 1 day vacation. and this is our trip with local guide
