For support Steem-Travelers Community
Assalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Hello everyone, @saya.konoha is back to provide information and stories about my travels and adventures that might be a reference for you to visit or join me on adventures.
On this occasion, I would like to share a story about my trip to an island located at the northernmost point of Indonesia, namely the island of Sabang with Pulau Weh as the largest island and Indonesia's free Economic Zone. Sabang Island is located in the northern part of Sumatra Island which is the destination of every tourist or tourist visiting Indonesia. Sabang Island is a very beautiful island, apart from including the Zero Kilometer point of Indonesia, Sabang Island is also famous for its natural beauty which makes tourists visiting Sabang Island able to spoil the eyes with the beautiful natural panorama that is served by this island.
A little knowledge about Sabang Island. Sabang is the northernmost administrative region, and is directly adjacent to neighboring countries, namely Malaysia, Thailand, and India. The area of Sabang City is surrounded by the Malacca Strait in the north, the Indian Ocean in the south, the Malacca Strait in the east and the Indian Ocean in the west. The activities of the Sabang Free Port and Free Trade in 2002 began to pulse with the entry of goods from abroad into the Sabang area. However, in 2004 this activity was discontinued because Aceh was declared a Military Emergency Area. Sabang also experienced the Earthquake and Tsunami on December 26, 2004, but due to the very deep trench in Sabang Bay, Sabang survived the tsunami. So that later Sabang will be used as an air and sea transit point that brings aid to tsunami victims on the mainland of Aceh. The Aceh-Nias Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Agency (BRR) has designated Sabang as a transit point for the delivery of construction and other materials to be used in mainland Aceh.
Steemian, Saturday, January 15, 2022, our seven members moved to Sabang, we have planned this for a long time but it was hampered due to their busy lives and also very short vacation time so our plans to Sabang were delayed several times. time. At 07.05 in the morning we immediately rushed to the port of Ulee Lheue to buy tickets for the boat that would take us to Sabang. Arriving at the port, we immediately queued to get tickets, I had doubts because the queue was very large and the capacity of the ship to carry passengers and vehicles had almost reached its maximum capacity, but in the end we were able to get to Sabang. even though we were in the last queue.
We went straight to the boat, because there we could see a very beautiful sea view, and also we could see a group of dolphins swimming beside the boat as if they were greeting and taking us to Balohan Harbor in Sabang. Arriving at Balohan port, we immediately took out the vehicle according to the queue. Before continuing our journey, we took the time to have lunch because all the teams were hungry. After lunch, we went straight to beautiful places in Sabang according to the schedule we had set a few days ago, and our Adventure in Sabang began.
The first place we visited was Ujong Kareung (Coral), because of its location close to Balohan harbor and also close to other tourist attractions. Along the way we were presented with beautiful blue sea views, there were several fishing boats leaning on the beach because it was cloudy and drizzling rain had started to wet Sabang. After 10 minutes riding a motorbike, we arrived at the first location, Ujong Kareung, where there are corals that seem to fortify the beach, blue sea water and waves make the place beautiful. After that we went straight to the next place, namely the Japanese Fort which is said to be a place for storing Japanese army weapons and also a place of protection from enemy attacks. The clock showed 17:00, we immediately rushed to Iboh to look for lodging that day. Long story short, we arrived at Rahmat Bungalow's - Iboh, after booking a room to rest, we immediately took our luggage to the room to rest.
Maybe this is a short story about a tourist place that I visited, I apologize if there are still many shortcomings in writing, I expect criticism and suggestions from all of you so that I can develop more in terms of writing in the future.
