Exciting trip

Do not just ride the plane when traveling to Lampung. Occasionally, try to board a ship because it will get a different experience and exciting!

If you guys have been to Lampung using the service of airplane layout, try deh occasionally feel the experience of using the ship mode. Sea trip is not long, only about 2.5-3 hours, but the experience of this sea will be memorable and could be a story of its own.
Experience crossing the Sunda Strait from the Port of Merak, Banten to the Port of Bakauheni, Lampung is the sixth time I experienced. Although I've never felt crossed by ferry, I do not feel bored because the ship that I was riding generally vary and each has a uniqueness.

The trip to Lampung by ferry is easy because there are many ships, maybe a little inconvenient during Lebaran day because of the demand quite a lot. But outside the Eid holiday, the trip across the Sunda Strait for me is exciting.
From Jakarta You can take a bus or train to Merak. This bus is available at Kampung Rambutan or Kali Deres terminal. Whereas if the train ride can leave from Kampung Bandan or Angke. From the trip I have been doing this one bus ride a group and who recently did with a private vehicle.

After purchasing a ticket then passengers can directly choose a seat. If you enter the VIP room which has air-conditioned room, toilet, and television facilities then the passenger will be charged again Rp 10 thousand. If you want to buy snacks and drinks can also be on the boat. But based on experience, it is better to bring food and drink supplies because it is not prohibited to bring their own food and drink. The second reason, the price of food and drinks here is quite expensive. Mineral water size can be Rp 10 thousand. Instant noodle is also the same, more expensive double or more than the normal price.

Her VIP room is quite comfortable and relatively safe. The chair is soft and can see the ocean view from the window. If I still do not usually just feel at home in the room. I chose to go around, look at the ocean view that spread also see the facilities and busyness of the passengers.

In addition to the VIP room, on the ferry is generally available mosque, restrooms, restoration, and a place to rest where the passengers can sleep berselonjor. The rate is usually calculated based on the use of pillows. More fun if you lie here with friends or relatives, because the place is not privacy aka used in the crowd.

The view of the ocean from the top of the most beautiful ship if just leave Java or near Lampung. Because of the natural landscape seen from the boat, there are also small islands that welcome. I also like to take pictures if the ship that I was riding in crossed with other ships.

Of the various ships I've ever ridden, the facilities and the interior are never the same. There are pluses and minuses. When we got home on our ASDP ferry we searched the VIP room and apparently did not exist. Space for passengers shaped like a clean restoration. Because of fatigue after my Maghrib prayer and my sister lie down in a place like a barracks. Therefore when it was quiet then we could rest comfortably until the ship began to close to the island of Java.

Long story short, indeed a very pleasant trip
