krakatoa and stung by a jellyfish

One of the most beautiful places I've been to is Mount Krakatoa Child. It's located in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. I went there with my fellow STAPALA mates and some participants for the event general mountain hiking that was held by STAPALA in July 2011. STAPALA held this event in order to earned more money for Mount Elbrus Expedition in Russia. 

There were 34 participants joined this event. We gathered some of the participants at STAN (my campus) and the other participants at Kampung Rambutan Terminal. The participants were from many universities, not only from STAN. Some of them were from Bandung and Bogor. After participants gathered in Kampung Rambutan, We took the last bus from Kampung Rambutan to Merak Port in Banten. From Merak Port we took a boat to Lampung. We were on the boat for approximately 3 hours. The view from the boat when we were about to arrive at Lampung was breath-taking! The islands were magnificent! We perpetuated the view by taking photos as many as possible. Everybody was very excited!

Many unforgettable moments I felt when we were at Mount Krakatoa Child area. One of them was when we were snorkeling at Umang-Umang Island. The beach was picturesque, the clean white sand, the coral reefs  were very indulgent to the eyes. I couldn't forget the moment when I was stung by a jellyfish on my feet. I didn't feel anything when the jellyfish stung me, but a few moments later, my legs felt very itchy. The jellyfish even left it's imprint on my feet.

The next day, we went to the mountain which wasn't very high. We took time to pose together in front of many cameramen. The background was an erupting mountain which was spewing rocks and showering us with sand. It was difficult to describe the beauty of the place.
