sand, rainbow, sunshine, and me
from my hotel, by using taxi I went to Fort Rotterdam. it is a pier and the meeting point with the boat owner. it was needed around IDR 10.000 - 15.000 for it.

rented a boat, it is needed maximum 20 minutes to reach the Samalona Island. we have to spend IDR 400.000. on the boat, don't forget to tight your hair up. because the wind make your hair tangled :D. wear your fancy sunglasses to protect the eyes especially, if you accross the sea at the noon.

boat stopped, I got to a place! yey. welcome to the Samalona Island.

I still say wow during sitting on the bench under the huge trees enjoying the beautiful white-blue beach which have sparkling water by the sun. then, the boat owner asked to go tho the spot.
