Karimun Jawa Islands | Beach

Hi Dawn :-D

I start to write this after 2 months i went to Karimun Jawa Islands haha, and suddenly i should write this before i went to Semarang for business trip. Because it reminds me about this great trips :-D.

Overall i like the beaches and landscapes here besides Derawan Island, it took 4 days too. Please check the weather first, i went to Semarang one night in last day for culinary of course :p. And tomorrow will my culinary (read : business) trip in Semarang. 

From the plane

When i waited for the ship, took some pictures around

Old ship around Jepara Port

So lets start the story.. I went from Jakarta to Semarang by the early morning flight (because it was very cheap around 300k for return tickets), and i used a travel there. I forgot the name but my friend did it for me. They picked us at Semarang Airport to Jepara Seaport and went by a ship - express bahari (choose the fast one, believe me :p. I suggest you to check for the ship schedule or just bought from local people and you can go from Semarang Seaport also just check for the ship schedule). I arrived around 3 pm in Karimun Jawa main island, took a lunch and went to Nirwana Beach (Private Beach with resorts).

You can enjoy your night at port looking the stars :-D, hope the stars fall and make a wish like i did :p haha.. Or you can find food around the square near the small ports. At second day, i went to Menjangan Kecil (Small) Island for snorkeling, took a picture, and have fun for sure :), Geleang (means white) Island for a break and took a lunch, Gosong (means an island when the water went recede) Cemara Island for a while and took a picture, and Tanjung Gelam Island for sunset = took a picture and closing my day.

The third day also the same went from one island to another islands :), first i went to around the shipwrecked and actually i just could see the edge of the ship. It was very deep around 2-4 meters from the surface. And looked at the fish :p. Then i went to Tengah (Middle) Island for lunch and i didn't realize i fell a sleep here in wood house lol around 1 hour :p. Haha and before i took my lunch, my friend found a lot of small clown fish (nemo) behind the island. My friend found it when we want to take a pee :p. After that i went to another island called Kecil (Small) Island for snorkeling again, etc. Last for closing the day, i saw sharks (a lot), it was so scary :p.

Found it in the morning when i walked around homestay

In here you can see the clown fish
