Time to look for lodging, after looking around, finally I decided to stay at the inn named Laguna Biru at a cost of Rp. 250.000,- (USD. 25) per night.
Lodging facilities are air conditioning, bathrooms, beds, television, fan, last but not least get a coupon for free breakfast for two person.
The facility is more than enough for me cause my purpose visit Karimunjawa is enjoy the atmosphere of the beach, sea and beautiful scenery not to lie down and relax at the lodge.
We hurried around Karimunjawa sea with the ship to see the houses in the middle of the sea called Wisma Apung.
We can stay here to see, touch and play with starfish and sharks. It's really an amazing experience.
Wisma Apung is just a hundred meters from the beach Karimunjawa, travel there takes only fifteen minutes.
You can mingle with 242 different fish species as well as 133 genera of aquatic fauna.
Do not forget to bring bread to feed the fish, you will be very sorry if you forgot it.
Early morning I was tried to see the sunrise from one side of the beach belongs to Hotel Nirvana.
Unfortunately the sky was overcast, I could not enjoy the sunrise, so I'm looking for interesting places to take photos for the album memories and share it to all of you.
In Karimunjawa we can also enjoy views of the city, ocean and beach by walking up the hill.
The coastline stretching white sand dotted with blue water meets very remedy, indeed.
It was time to end a day trip in Karimunjawa, it feels like to be back to enjoy the beauty, hospitality, natural touch that I have not visited due to time constraints.
See you later Karimunjawa.
