Well, this is my crazy trip for the first time in forever. I, myself went to Tidung Island, Kepulauan Seribu, near Jakarta, Indonesia. Yeah just myself. I asked my friends, but they have own business. Moreover I cant wait to see a blue exotic beach and I don't like seeing a lot of people at the beach. For me, it was perfect to relax. Friday was the day that I chose to travel Tidung Island. Why Tidung Island? After researching Tidung Island, I fell in love with its blue sea and I am curious why they called Love Bridge a.k.a Jembatan Cinta.
At around 5 A.M, I took bus TransJakarta from Pinang Ranti to Pluit. Because it was still morning, it's payed only IDR 2000. Because I'm little stubborn, I got off the bus at Pluit stop after 2 hours. It was wrong, the right stop was Penjaringan. So, I had to turn back on foot.
At 7.A.M, I got on the public car B01 to Muara Angke (Kali Adem) harbor and payed IDR 5000. Unfortunately, the car didn't stop at the harbor, so I had to get on Odong-odong or Becak. But I didnt get on that and chose by walk. It's not far actually but the path didn't smell good and was muddy.
Around 7.30, I bought a ticket to Tidung Island IDR 45000 and Insurance IDR 2000. At 7.40 a boat left the harbor. It took 2.5 hours. It's for the first time I was on the boat for more an hour. So, my head was spinning and I threw up once lol :p. It's better when I sleep instead of sit.
At 10 o'clock, I got off the boat and took Becak Motor IDR 20000. It was quite expensive for me, but I didn't have choice and didn't know where Jembatan Cinta was. For native people, it was strange that I went this island alone. But for me, it was not strange as long as I have a dream to make it comes true.
It's quite far to Jembatan Cinta, just turn right from harbor and go straight. I talked to Becak Motor's driver where beautiful places are beside Jembatan Cinta. He said If I turedn left, I woulf find Pantai Pasir Putih and it's perfect to watch sunset. However, it's further than Jembatan Cinta, around 6 km and I had only 3 hours to relax in this beautiful place. So, I decided to stay around Jembatan Cinta, ate Nasi Goreng Kornet IDR 20000, and played at shoreline. By the way, I found why they called Jembatan Cinta.....

I was on cloud nine that day, the wind blew my face softly, the sound of waves was relaxing, and the variaton of blue color was really cool. I almost asleep at gazebo, but someone approached me and talked to me. His name's Untung, his appearance made me a little scared, but how he talked was nice. He guided me around Tidung Kecil and showed me some hidden places. I was so excited, and he took some photos of me and the beach. We talked as long as the trip. It was nice and lucky to meet him, then I asked his number if someday I want to go this place with my family or friends, I just called him and got some discounts. If you wanna get his number, just tell me at comment belows.

There are many things to do in Tidung Island, you can snorkeling, fishing, camping, riding banana boat, and etc. You also can rent a bicycle around IDR 15000 per day. At 1 p.m I came back to harbor and Mr. Untung still guided me and was looking the right boat to Jakarta. I really thanked to him and hope that we meet again, also I hope I come back Tidung Island soon.
