Vacation To Lombok


Ok, I will try to tell all my reader in English, in this post I will tell you guys about my traveling to Lombok. This unplanned travel. Before I planed to Sawarna Beach-Bayah Banten, I heard from my friend Bayah is Bali for Cilegon, and I am very interest to go, after I look my friends photo’s. But after I tell my little brother, he gave advised to me to visit Lombok. And then guest what? I change  my mind, I go to Lombok. In this post I will tell you how to go to Lombok according to my experience :
  • I bought a plane ticket by my Smart phone, this my first time online book for plane ticket. I got Lion Air for Rp 1.400.00,- for Jakarta-Lombok and Lombok-Jakarta 

  •  I left at 05:00 am, I choose in the morning, because this is the cheapest ticket, I arrive at 08:00 am at the middle Indonesian Time, it’s mean in Jakarta at 07:00, I was tricky he..he, I thought I spend three hours from Jakarta to Lombok.
  • My advise : wake up early, don’t let your body to have some sport in the morning because u need to run to get checkn. 
  •  I was arrive in Mataram International Airport, this Airport just operation for two years, everything looks very nice, the highway, park and also travel center. No Delay, I was arrive in Mataram at 08:00, I have no idea where is senggigi and Gili, all I have only google maps and maps that I bought from book store. But this two things very usefull.
  • I decided go to Senggigi beach after I called my friend who have been from Lombok before, she tell me that I need travel to Senggigi, U can find easily many travel, I choose Blue bird travel, I paid Rp 200,000,- for Mataram-Senggigi. It takes around 2-3 hours, expensive. But fast and u don’t need to wait any passengers anymore.
  • If you don’t have any money for this case, use Damri. U only need to walk to the right of the airport, or u can ask the security where is Damri Terminal, u only need to pay Rp 20,000,- to Senggigi, very cheap. 
  •  I stay in Senggigi for one night, I stayed in Guest House, simple but clean. I paid for Rp 100,000,- one night. Local and International same price.
  • Spend your day In Senggigi beach, u can find small temple in Karang Bolong, or enjoy the beach and sunset. Sunset in Senggigi very beautifull. Any personal requirements u can find in mini market with normal price.

  • Many Restaurant in Senggigi, depend of how much your budget, u can choose the cheapest one around Rp 15,000,- for “Nasi Campur”. 
  • Then I plan to Gili Trawangan for two nights, I choose buy the ticket from travel agent, I paid for Rp 60,000,-. Actually the ship ticket is Rp 10,000,- but the port quite far away from Senggigi, around 45-1 hours.
  1.  
  • Be carefully, make sure u got the ticket from your agent and then change the ticket to the port administration before u enter the ship. Your ship will be identify according to your color ticket. 
  • Enjoy the trip, feel the wind and the water, touch the water but be carefully if u don’t want get wet. From Port to Senggigi around 30 minutes, this is local port, it means not only tourist use the boat but all including local people. U can see what local people bring from Lombok to Gili.
  • Near to Gili Trawangan u will find beautifull beach, u can see the bottom of the sea very clearly, the ship guys tell me “Welcome to the Heaven”. 
  1.  
  • I spend to nights in Gili Trawangan, day one I travel using bicycle, I paid Rp 100,000,- for two days. For Staying I paid Rp 250,000,- for the Hotel.
  • In Gili all is Beer, “BINTANG”, U can find SAMA-SAMA Cafe in Gili, enjoy live Reggae Music with nice vocal and great pianist. I met them and unpredictable the vocalist also from Sumatra and Bataknese same like me.








  •  I spend second day for snorkeling to three gili, I paid Rp 150,000,- for this travel, u will snorkeling in three spot, Gili Trawangan Spot-Coral Theme Park, Gili Meno for Finding Turtles, and Gili Air for Feeding Fish
  • Find Beautiful Sunset in Gili Trawangan

  • For Food u can find cheap local food, just like I said before Rp 15,000,- 
  • After 2 Nights in Gili, I get back to Mataram
  • I used Travel, I paid for Rp 250,000 to bring me to Kuta Lombok Beach, and then to Desa Sade (Local Traditional Village) 
  • In Kuta Lombok Beach not so crowded just like in Gili or Senggigi, this place seems for Surfing .
  • The beach beautiful and very clean, but many child sell some necklace bands. 
  • I spend only One hour because my flight.
  • I visited Desa Sade, this traditional village very unic, u need to pay as much as u can, I paid Rp 15,000,-, but I bought for a cloth for Rp 250,000,-. 



  • All in this village are family, because they are married to each other in this village, many of them are farmers and make handy craft.
  • The house floor is from cow dung, but no smell. 


  •  The Last thing, I really enjoy my travel alone, but I am not satisfied because my interactions to people still not so many.
Come To Indonesia, Come To Lombok, Visit Gili, and God Bless You.

Maher…! Siapa anak Erlangga yang tidak mengenal dia? Dengan tampang mirip Afgan dengan kacamata barunya membuat dia semakin terkenal di kalangan anak Erlangga. Pastinya semua pura-pura gak kenal, meskipun mereka sangat mengenal dengan baik sosok seorang Maher. Maher mengambil jurusan hukum dengan kosentrasi Hukum Internasional (sebenarnya kalau saya ditanya si kurang cocok, bagusnya dia belajar hukum Rimba) Maher dimasa kuliahnya adalah seorang aktivis dan sangat idealis, tak heran dia bergabung dengan oraganisasi FMN . Disamping seorang aktivis Maher juga aktif menulis, tak jarang pula karya tulisnya terbit di harian Koran setempat di Lampung. Hobinya menulis membuat insting ekonominya bergerak, menulis bukan lagi hobi melainkan to find some money . Maher mulai menjual setiap makalahnya sebagai tugas kuliah bagi teman-temannya, mengambil keuntungan dari orang-orang kaya yang hobi menghambur-hamburkan uang , sebuah simbiosis mutualisme. Maher hidup nomaden (pindah kost-kostan lebih d...

MUDIK

Tradisi mudik sepertinya sudah menjadi budaya negaraku Indonesia, aku tidak tau apakah ada negara lain yang menjalankan budaya ini juga. Indonesia bukan satu-satunya negara yang menjalankan Idul Fitri, namun sepertinya hanya Indonesia yang punya ritual budaya ini, hal ini kusimpulkan karena semua media baik cetak maupun televisi tidak ada yang pernah membandingkan budaya ini dengan negara lain dalam rangka merayakan Idul Fitri. Berkumpul bersama keluarga dan saling memaafkan dikampung halaman memang sebuah kebahagian tersendiri, meskipun saya tidak menjalankannya. Aku tau nikmatnya karena aku melakukan hal yang sama di waktu yang berbeda, yaitu semasa Natal tiba. Bercanda bersama keluarga yang selama satu tahun penuh terpisah memang sangat mengharukan, bertukar cerita dan saling berbagi itu sangat indah rasanya. Ritual mudik kerap kali tidak seindah hasilnya, proses menuju kampung halaman adalah sebuah perjuangan, jalanan yang tak kunjung mulus, dari tahun ke tahun selalu dikebut perb...
