Fun Traveling: Karimun Java Island

Hi everyone! I wish you a very great day.
Nature is my biggest pleasure. Atmosphere of nature really calming and relaxing the soul and bring the pure spirit back. Couple weeks ago me and my bestfriends went to one of Indonesia's beautiful island: Karimun Jawa!

Pulau Karimun Jawa or Karimun Java Island is located in Kabupaten Jepara, Indonesia. I swear you if you go to this place there will be no regret!

My bestfriends and I got a recommendation from one of my bestfriend's friend (what? haha sorry for confusing you) a tour guide who lived in Karimun Java. It costs only IDR 675.000 for 3 days include the tour, foods, rooms for sleep and the ticket from Jepara to the Karimun Java Island.
I wonder in my mind, would it be fun if we will be followed by someone, like always, while we are on the vacation? (This is my first time using a tourism service/tour guide)

Just go on and no hesitate! Because it won't bother you at all.
Our tour guide named Mr. Dikin didn't directly follow us to everywhere nevertheless he just led us and for me personally I really enjoy it because you still feel the adventure vibe!

I went there with the best traveling partner ever: Nina, Dhira, Usnong, Syahdi, Dimas and Arin.


#Day1: Friday, May 20th 2016
We finally arrived at Karimun Java on 11.30 a.m after we passed the sea from 6.30 in the morning (5 hours OMG it was really tiring!)

I choose very comfy outfit: Unbranded navy blue cotton hijab | Gaudi black sleeve-less top | Richita Jeans outwear | Triset Jeans pants | White Converse All Star

I was so excited that we finally arrived and after that the boys did Sholat Jum'at while the girls did Sholat Zuhur in Mr. Dikin's house. And of course: eating!

After that we were led to a dock and get on ship:

then we went to the first stop: Pulau Menjangan Besar - Penangkaran Hiu (Captive Shark)

pardon our-everywhere-hands because we didn't allow to let the hands in the water

Notice a fish to made the shark came up!

In this place we only there less than an hour. But that's OK we couldn't really do much things.

To the next excitement level: Pantai Ujung Gelan
Snorkeling:

Awkward face but look the underwater view is totally cool!

Then we went to the beach, drank coconut water, ate gorengan. What a pleasure..
And the twilight comes:

perfect sunset and perfect jump

And about 6.00 p.m we went back to our place to take a rest..

#Day2: Saturday, May 21st 2016
8.00 in the morning we were ready to breakfast and start the adventure!
First destination: Pulau Cilik/Pulau Kecil

snorkeling! snorkeling! snorkeling!

welcome!

we ate grilled fish together in Pulau Kecil

Nice small island, great beach, good food. Picnic, why not?

swinging swinging

About  from 10.00 to 14.00 we were in Pulau Cilik/Pulau Kecil then to the next destination: Pulau Gosong!
Pulau Gosong is very unique because it is neither an island nor the sea. I can't even explain-_- absolutely incredible!

And to wrap the great day we went to our last snorkeling session: Pulau Tengah

The photographer is really amazing and multi-talented, isn't he?

dont you worry I only held a rock actually

What a great day and for enjoying the sunset we went back to the main island: To Bukit Cinta!

And that's all for our tour, we went to downtown for the rest of the night and heading back to Jepara the next morning.

#Day 3: Sunday, May 22nd 2016

Swing Yoga

Hi everyone!
Last month I was invited to attend in a Yoga Class for a research of my senior's essay. But not the regular Yoga, it was a SWING YOGA!

What is Swing Yoga?

Swing Yoga is a sport which you can strike your regular yoga poses while swinging using the swing yoga equipment. Swing yoga equipment(s) basically consist of three fabrics (I really forget the name of each), one is the big one for your body and the others are for your hands to handle.

source: google.com

This research meant to prove that there is an effect after we did Swing Yoga to our intra-ocular pressure.

At first the researcher, Kak Rahmah Sadida, measured our intra-ocular pressure and gave the anesthetic before she did it. My intra-ocular pressure was about twenty. FYI the normal pressure is 10-21 mmHg. 
I came to the place when I recently woke up so it was normal cause when we woke up in the morning the pressure is tend to high.

When the Yoga is started we were stretching to warmth the body. We didn't do the normal stretching but with the fabric directly, it was so easy but in a minute I felt that I had been sweating!
Then we started from the most easy pose until the hardest one.

I laughed so hard when did the namasthe pose I'm sorry it should be relaxing and calming LOL

Oh and don't worry we will be led by a professional instructor!

It's a bat pose! and the fabric only hold my shoulder

me was trying so hard to do a superman pose

It was soooooooooo much fun! I personally like it!
I just don't like the fact that it made a nausea after that; don't worry not every people through it. The session is pretty short, just about an hour but for God sake I sweat like A LOT

After all the pose we stretched the body to cooling down and time to measure the intra-ocular pressure again. The result is really amazing for me; the pressure incredibly decreased until about 14!
I enjoyed it and such a wonderful experience with a huge advantage.

Dare to try?

Good luck everyone and see you on my next post!
