Honeymoon Destination in Indonesia - Pulo Cinta , Gorontalo , North Sulawesi.

Honeymoon Destination in Indonesia - Pulo Cinta , Gorontalo , North Sulawesi.

5:11 PM  

Found this place while looking for honeymoon destination nearby, some other alternative than Maldives. It's located in Gorontalo, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, and it's a love shaped island surrounded by blue seas and corals. Here you get to enjoy daily sunrise and sunsets, which normally you only get to enjoy one, you get to enjoy some amazing clean stars gazing right from your villa, snookering right in front of your villa with some nemo swimming nearby.

A DIY Preview movies I made for our honeymoon, please enjoy it. :) 

How to get there:

1.     Make reservation, email to heaven@pulocinta.com or go to their website www.pulocinta.com. Their package is around 3.5mil Rupiah per night currently, that's about 240usd today. This includes seaside rooms, all meals, airport transports, and even beers. :)

2.    To reach Pulo Cinta Island

·       Fly to Gorontalo, Sulawesi Indonesia (Jalaluddin Airport). If no direct flight to Gorontalo from your place, fly to Jakarta, Indonesia first. Then from Jakarta, choose Batik Air or Garuda to Gorontalo diretly. Personally I would recommend using Batik Air to go. Batik Air flight time will be 2.10am, it will take 3 hours for you to reach Gorontalo in a direct flight, 6.10am local Gorontalo time (Jakarta time is UTC+7, while Gorontalo is UTC+8).

·       From Gorontalo, the resort will send a van to pick you up, it will take 2 hours village drives for you to reach the Jetty (called Dermaga in Indonesia).

·       From Jetty, the island is just across the sea, 15 minutes on boat.

3.       To go back from Pulo Cinta Island.

·       Resort will prepare boats and van to fetch you back to Gorontalo Airport (Jalaluddin Airport)

·       There are few local flights that can bring you back to Jakarta, but the best timing flight would be Garuda Airline, flight time is 1.50pm. It will give you enough time to wake up, have a proper last day breakfast, spend some time saying good bye to the Island and friendly staff, and depart from the Island at 10am. You will be able to reach Airport at around 12.30 noon. This flight will stop-over at Makasar but it's not a transit, so you just sit tight in the plane, continue your in-flight movies while waiting for the plane to fly back to Jakarta.

Tips:

1.     There is no Wifi in the resort. The only internet or mobile lines you get there is Telkomsel. For those who traveled from abroad, please get a Telkomsel or if you prefer roaming using your original line, get connected to Telkomsel, not others.

2.     Prepare additional or enough Rupiah or IDR. There are few activities you can do in the island, and those comes with cost:

a.       Island Hooping - Around 800k rupiah for two persons. And please bring Rupiah when you are going for Island Hooping, why? go to "b" below.

b.      Buying Lobsters - Around 500k Rupiah to get two decent big Lobsters. The tour guide will help you bring back to resort's restaurant and they will grill or cook for you for free. :)

c.       Fishing Trips - Around 600 Rupiah per trip. You get to experience the traditional way of fishing using just strings, on the wide seas. Whatever you managed to get in the trip, that will be your additional dish for your dinner. :D

d.      There are also Discovery Scuba Diving trip, which cost around 1mil IDR if not mistaken. I didn't went for this, but they showed me photo of the corals which only existing in two places in the world, the big trumpet corals, not sure how true is that but from the photo, it's about more than 1 metres high.

Alam Dan Manusia

Alam Dan Manusia

9:34 PM  

Who still remember what we actually studied 17 years ago? There was this subject called "Alam dan Manusia" in my time and was replaced by Science Subject one or two years after that. Anyone remember this subject? It talked about humans, animals, plants and all the interactions between humans and the world. Anyone? :D

Never mind if you can't remember. But here is my story. I still remember how my teacher taught me regarding this natures things. And at that time, even with m
y 10 years old's brain, I can't agreed what she has taught me at all. She said, everything has cause and effects (this one I agreed), and the same goes for animals. Grasshopper is green in colour because it need to distinguish itself among the grass to free from "pemangsa". Giraffe's neck is long because they need to eat the leafs on high trees. Monkey's leg functions like hands because they need to climb and live on trees.. So, what you think? haha

For me, seriously I do not think that grasshopper can choose to become green because they NEED to distinguish in the grass. Rather, I would think that they choose to distinguish in the grass because they are green. Well, this sound more logic right? While for Giraffe, I can't imagine 100 billions before, Giraffe actually had short neck.. And because they want to eat the fresh leaf on the top of the trees, their neck grows... @.@ My thought was that, Giraffe got the privilege to eat fresh leaf on the top of the trees because they have long neck. And for monkey... hhmmm... I believe I do not say more.. haha...  Although we always said, we are what we think but that doesn't actually changed your physical dramatically.. It changed your mind which boast your confident and resulted in giving you a better YOU. So, do not ever try to be someone else because you can never be like them. But judge yourself and use your pros to live a better lives on Earth... This is my second post of the year... hehe.. I believe SuiTuaPui need to belanja me makan d. :P

P/S: There is this one thing that actually challenged my theory and faith though... Why cows in Europe got bulu while Malaysia's  cow got no bulu? haha.. Some people said because Europe is cold so their Cows grows Bulu... xD Continue Reading

Zero Post in Year 2010? Oh My...

Zero Post in Year 2010? Oh My...

10:29 PM  

So...... This means that I have been away from my blog for one whole year? Maybe longer than that. :D

Anyway.... I have registered my own domain name for the first time in my life and it is called, www.IamJim.my . That domain alone cost me MYR 98. Hmm.. Don't ask me why because I really do not know why I registered one. Perhaps, I'm desperate to have my own profile page under my own name? haha.. Anyway, since I do not know what to do with it yet, for time being I routed it back to my long abandoned blog. It was previously known as "Access Granted" and then "JiNG" with the address - histories.blogspot.com. Well... I can't really remember what its called before I changed it to Access Granted. Anyone can remember? Doubt so.. haha..

And also! I do not know what to post here as well... But I guess, since I have announced that this year will be the year for perfection, I'm gonna blog it all out, all the stages towards my dreams!.. Whether got reader or not, that's one thing, at least, 10 years in the future when I read it back, I know that I am Jimmy Tang, who are trying to make it big in the big city...

Chiaooo for now... Nites! :) Continue Reading
