Trois jours au Lombok
Day One
Route: Soekarno Hatta's Airport, Cengkareng - Transit 20 minutes in Juanda - Selaparang Lombok - Lunch at Ayam Taliwang - Sekarville (pearl traders ) - Baju Ngulek (handicraft) - Sunset at Senggigi - Dinner at Lesehan - Rest at Graha Senggigi Hotel.
Highlights: the guide misunderstood our goal trip, perhaps he didn't get the information that we are photographers, not regular tourists. So the first day route was full of shopping, shopping the pearls.Hella yeah, I managed to control myself and spent less on souvenirs.. but finally I bought 3 pairs of pearl earring for my Ma, and 2 of pearls pin for my sister and Aunt.

Day Two
Route: Sunrise at Rinjani - Valleys - Sasak village - Market - Waterfalls at Sentaru - Monkeys - Fields -- Pearls - Dinners - Karaoke - Hotel.
Highlights: I was a bit disappointed because there wasn't much to see or capture. I thought the sunrise would be great since we had a great effort to wake 2 am in the morning. Again, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. And the weather was not supportive, clouds everywhere.I can see Rinjani's Mountain from the place that we're on. Yea Too bad we cant get any closer to the mountain.. the Tour Guide refused to go there (or something I have no idea, why..) I love the view from the valley.. Loooovee it..!!

Day Three
Route: Beaches - Monkeys - Souvenirs - Lunch - Selaparang - Cengkareng
Highlights: Oh, the beaches were beautiful (they said.. not me..)
Too bad I must go home. Wish I could come back again some other time to visit the other side of Lombok.

:: Summary ::
Took 3 days Of from Work.. woo-hoo..!! kinda excited since I was "think" and imagine that am gonna meet a few good people that I've know from the last Photo Hunt Last Year and also Meet my Erna-my partner in Photo Hunt.. =)But the reality was, yes I did Meet Erna and 8 Pros(we're 15 people, I was going with USF - BI, my Ma's Office Photo's Club) but the other was I just know on that day.. well, it doesn't mean that I didn't like them all, nawww.. I just .. hmm kinda miss my last photo hunt with 15 Pros that I've known very well.. we've same similarities .. they are men.. they didn't like to shoppin around .. cuz we have arranged where we can and do buy all the merchandise and stuff.. but right now. Cuz we're visitin the Island of Pearls and Plus the Men only 4, well in the end we're just shopping around ( am not denied that I do love go shopping, but I think I am gonna treat myself to do it after do the Hunt.. *shrug* but yeah I enjoyed.)
(a bit "boring" there, cuz there was so much beaches.. I didn't into beaches at all.. I Love mountains way better.. but yea I make a few shot of silhouettes there.. of course I feel so Grateful of this chance .. this is a good journey ever.. Dieu Merci)

Okay, now how about talking bout the Meals.. Oh I like the food so much.. it's so damn Hooot but hella yeah so yummie.. Its known as Plecing Kangkung(some leafy veggie that fried then mixed with coconut and hot chilly) and Ayam Taliwang(Chicken Roasted with Chilly) .. hmm Yummie.. As long as we stayed there we're always have that menu on each restaurant that we've visited.. meanwhile in Jakarta, there's an epidemic of Bird Influenza .. but seems that we were not afraid hahahahaha.. and Thanks GOD we're all doing just fine and we're just so starving after a day go for a photo Hunt.. so, when we see them, ya know wat were doing right?

Erna, Girl.. u didn't change at all .. hehehhe why we always have similarities like that .. from Jeans that we wear on(it was just alike, Girl..), panties (oops…) cleanser and cleansing milk that we brought with, until a camera, yeah U was think to buy that one- NIKON D50, but u still wait and thinking, meanwhile I just bought that and bring along with me.. ehehe( from Tripod, FM10, Cable Release, UV Filter, we're just the same.. our gadgets was twins.. ) hahahahahha ..

I do enjoyed my times there.. lauffing was like every minutes.. I was meet this woman, her name is Mrs.Nani- she just a clown .. ehehe "Sorry tante.. but you are-Loh.. " she loves to make a fun and joke with and on someone. But none of us feel offense.. cuz we know that she was lightened up the times on Bus.. where we were on the way to each destination.. and yes, she's the Queen of the Pearls of All.. she who bought, I mean from all of us (the women) she buy everything she saw and she thinks great and glamour.. cuz all in cheap prices.. very cheap.. (Thanks for bargain for those bracelets and earrings for me, Friends, Siblings and my Ma.. My Ma Loves it a lot.)

Oyeah, we were visiting A Waterfalls at Sentaru.. it was nice one.. but you shud now, how long it takes and how was it there.. (actually I love doin this one, It just losing my weight easily .. ahahaha.. eventho make me damn fuckin tired.. my knees.. just hurt)there was a stairs .. not one or 10 steps it was around 350 levels.. up and down, straight and go to the left and right.. and took about 15 min to go down to see and capture the Waterfalls.In total we're just "traveling" about a half hour there with 700 levels to go.. *sniff.. sniff..*

Karaoke.
The must things to do in every Photo Hunt with this Group… ^_^..V I give myself a gig that nite.. eheheh after I get damn tired after visiting that waterfalls at noon.

With my humble thoughts
I feel so Grateful of this chance .. this is a good journey ever.. Dieu Merci
Even tho, there was a delay about 3 hrs from Departure to Arrival from Soekarno Hatta's Airport to Surabaya - for transit.

.. End of Journey ..
