Traffic lane Stunning West Lampung

If you have a habit of travel sickness, drive away is usually synonymous with tired and dull. Moreover, if the condition of the body is not supported. However, if you're fit, Journey from Bandar Lampung to Krui via Kotaagung, can be very impressive.
Five years ago the western traffic lane of Lampung is only serviced the bus from Rajabasa - Kotaagung. So to get Krui, from Kotaagung still have to be connected with an old car or motorcycle taxi services. That was only until the Pekon Wayheni, District Bengkunat. Further up the post at the rural transportation Wayheni Market.
Following the opening of cross-west line (Bandar Lampung - Krui via Kotaagung), in 2007, Krui and surrounding communities can breathe easier. Puddle of mud that is almost a kilometer to a depth of 1-2 meters do not exist anymore. Although still often no way damaged, not as bad as before. This path is much coveted in the community who have access to Bandar Lampung - Krui and Bengkulu.

Exit from Bandar Lampung, we will be treated to a clean and orderly settlement. It can we find in Negri Pekon Sakti. Ranks of sturdy house with large yard overgrown with fruit trees, with some traditional-style house that still makes an impression prosperous rural population. Far from the noisy urban areas coincides with the home without a yard, but no such village hick impression left behind.
Maybe this is the intention of "Desaku Maju Sakai Sambayan" the former governor once proclaimed Oemarsono.
Not to get bored with the scenery that makes the heart serene, 3. rubber gardens offer lush coolness that makes eyes look just want to enjoy the lush grass beneath rubber, or some workers are busy with receiving rubber latex.
Apart from the shade of rubber plantations, we'll see the hustle and bustle of traditional markets in most major cities, including Belfast, crushed era began. Following a verdant expanse of rice fields in the rainy season and harvest yellowing in time, more countrified and prosperity of variables emphasized in the surrounding communities. If there is no bird nest building, the landscape is more perfect. Rice fields were surrounded by hills with green shades plantation. While the very edge, like a fence guard; South Bukit Barisan embraced bluish haze.
When crossing this place, a memory which bounced on landscape painting (some primary school students) make when the teacher instructed drawing painting landscapes. Most students will paint the mountains with the sun behind it. Beneath it lay the sliced ​​rice field lines bend in the road by police. Apparently, the views of childhood imagination, later found in this region.
Not to get bored with fantantis treats, your body will feel the change of air temperature when entering the territory Gisting. Gisting famous for cold areas. If passed in the morning, we will be fascinated with the depletion of fog swept away by the solar rays. In the distance, Mount Tanggamus similar thick fog coat shy virgin who pressed her dress.
Other sights that are not less interesting, sprawling plantations cabbage into either side of the road mediate people's homes. For those who live in arid regions, can be very jealous of the fertility Gisting. With a wide range of flower colors that decorate the courtyard houses, the feast for the eyes to enjoy the journey.

The journey continues to fall toward the center Kotaagung, with more beautiful scenery and the risk of getting decent. Apart from the dangers of the abyss, from the rice field side of the road scene with friendly greeting sengkedan system.

 
The bus kept going. Again, we enjoy the expanse of rice fields on the left side of the Bukit Barisan backgrounds. But this time we feel more protected, because of the Bukit Barisan increasingly apparent to the eye. While on the right path lined expanse of paddy fields Tanggamus Mount valor. Impression of cool and comfortable feel accompanies the journey. Make us forgot that nearly half of the trip. With cheerful ripple Way Semaka complement the wealth of nature-given potential of the God. This is a common sight in Wonosobo and Semaka.

After passing through some of the climbs are steep and winding, you exhale. Tengokkan carefully around your neck to see to the left. You will be forgotten that there is gap below you. Natural scenery with tremendous charm membetot all the attention. Paddy field is left looks small, with plots that are only visible form of the line. Houses, gardens stretch of coconut, pepper plantations, and coffee looks flat and small like a mini view that we find on the aerial photograph landscapes.
Far away, the Gulf Watermelon similar blend with the sky blue lakes. Not enough words to describe the perfection of this stunning landscape. In addition to expressions of awe, for users of private vehicles by itself is not going to waste to stop. For those who bring a camera, this landscape will not be wasted. For the past with empty hands, quite silent, and observing carefully the views of the elusive
unmatchable.
For those who are tired and wanted rest, lots of little huts lined the peddle fruit typical of this region: the durian.
While enjoying the durian that falls from the tree, chirping of various species of forest birds spoil our ears. Quite often our eyes directly cengkrama catch birds with beautiful feathers the color of it. A gentle breeze swept the tired and weary. Variety of old shady trees keep us sheltered from the heat despite the sweltering afternoon.
For those of you who want to break while drinking coffee around here are also many simple tavern complete with bale-bale bamboo called body slammed all tired. If you want to continue the trip to Krui, mileage is still far away. Immediately pack the goods to continue the journey.

The beach of Parangtritis

In addition to being the most popular beach in Yogyakarta, Parangtritis is worth visiting since it is closely related to such tourism objects as the Sultan Palace in Yogyakarta city, Parangkusumo Beach to the west of it, and the Merapi area at the north part of Yogyakarta. Located around 27 kilometers from the city center.

The naming of the beach has its own history. Hundreds years ago, someone named Dipokusumo, who was a fugitive of Majapahit Kingdom, came to this area to meditate. When he saw water dripping from the crack of the coral reef, he named this area 'parangtritis', originating from the word parang (stone) and tumaritis (water drops). The beach close to the area was then named the same.

Parangtritis is a beach full of myths, which is believed to be the manifestation of the unity among Merapi Mountain, Yogyakarta Kingdom, and Parangtritis Beach. The legend tells that Panembahan Senopati and Sunan Kalijaga once met in this place after completing their meditation. Panembahan Senopati was reminded of being a humble ruler despite his supernatural powers.

The primary attraction of this beach is its natural view. The enchantment of the coastal scenery can be seen from different angles to give you different experiences. When you are standing at the seashore, you will see the wide ocean with the high waves and steeply mountainside on the east side.

To get the view from the site, just walk or hire the horse-cart westwards and you look southwards when you have reached the place. You may get to the place by riding a horse that you shall rent at negotiable price.

After enjoying the scenery of Parangtritis beach from the seashore, you can leave for Langse Cave for a different experience. On the earth road leading to the cave, you can look westwards to see Parangtritis from different angle. The high waves rushing to the shore will look silvery under the sun, and will look golden by the sunset time.

Before reaching Langse Cave, we suggest that you pay a visit to the graveyard of Syeh Bela Belu that will give you spiritual experience. Usually, many pilgrims come on certain days such as certain Tuesday that is called Kliwon on Javanese calendar as one of the five Javanese days of the week.

From the graveyard, you may challenge yourself to continue your journey to Langse Cave that you have to go on foot to get to the cave that is 3 kilometers away through as high as 400 meters mountainside at the slope of almost 900. To get into the cave  you have to get the permission from the tomb guard. According to the guard of Depok Beach several times entered the cave when he was young, we will get beautiful view of the south ocean at the mouth of the cave that directly faces the ocean.

To get to Parangtritis Beach, you can take either one of the two routes. One is the route of Yogyakarta-Imogiri-Siluk-Parangtritis with the river and coral reel scenery on the way. The other is Yogyakarta-Parangtritis route that is easier to take with quite smooth road. It is suggested that you do not wear green clothes to respect local people who believe that green clothes will bring misfortune.
