GOING TO KARIMUN JAWA

By Lovely Rain

​This was my irst experience going to Karimunjawa. It was so fun. I was so excited days before the trip. I went there with other winners from different schools. We had the holiday last month, from April 21st to April 22nd. We went there by ferry. Karimunjawa is a group of islands located north of Java, around 83 kilometers from Jepara. There are two options if you want to get there. The irst one is using a ferry, which costs 81,000 rupiah. It takes 1 hour 45 minutes. The other option is using a car ferry, which is cheaper, only 72,000 rupiah. However, it takes longer to get there, around 6 hours. The committee provided us the irst option because it took less time. We departed from Jepara in the morning so we could spend more time in the afternoon exploring the islands. Once we got there, we were taken straight to the hotel where we had lunch. The next thing to do was enjoying the sunset at Bukit Love Karimunjawa. It was amazing! As soon as the sky got darker, we went back to the hotel. We had dinner before we continued our activity. We explored the hotel premises. The next day, we did other activities. We went snorkeling after we inished our breakfast. We had a chance to have our pictures taken with beautiful ish and coral reefs there. I also spent time swimming with sharks. It was both exciting and thrilling. We went back to the hotel once we inished all the activities. We packed before we left the islands. Although it was a short holiday, we enjoyed ourselves. It was really fun.
