Dear Swastika,

How’s life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities.

Last Lebaran holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the baby sea turtles from the Goa Cemara shore.

Goa Cemara is located in Patihan, Gadangsari, Bantul. The walk to the beach was pretty far, but very shady. It felt like we're in the Twilight movie scene, a great for photo shoots! We only adopted 5 baby turtles, each turtle cost 10.000 rupiahs. The baby turtles were just hatched. I thought they were cute. I chose my turtle and named him Timothy. My sister Emma also chose one and named it Dora. Timothy and friends were very skittish in the box, then right when we set them in the sand, they immediately got still.

We entered Timothy in the race. We were told by our guide, that before the race began, we should face the little babies south, so that when they came out to shore at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool, isn't it? And the race began. I could see how energetic they were. What I noticed was that when they hit the water and were pushed back by the waves, the turtles ran faster, as if knowing what’s ahead of them. They're just about to get swept away by the ocean. I really hated to watch them leaving. It was my unforgetable experience with the baby sea turtles.

Best wishes,

Bella

This was my second trip to Wakatobi, first July 2011 with 2 girl friends then back in Jan 2012 with another friend. Both times I toured around Bali before the stay at the resort, visiting temples and my good friend Amy who lives in Sanur.

The flight from Bali to the resort was 2.5 hours long and I saw beautiful sights on the way. On board, I was served a snack and drinks, it was very good. Once I touched down a van was waiting for me to take me to the dock to board a boat, about 5 min drive. The boat ride was 15 min long and then I was at my vacation destination, Wakatobi!

A man carried my luggage to my hut and I was amazed how beautiful it was, wood walls and flowing drapes around the bed. I did not have any problems with bugs of any type the 17 days I was there. I had a small refrigerator and an electric tea pot, I made coffee every day, I got up pretty early. I was in a garden hut, but also had a partial view of the ocean. Air-conditioning was as cool as I would like, and a ceiling fan was also available.

I like macro, but I also like wide angle, not a problem with the diving area. The reefs are the best I have seen anywhere, and that is why I will return time after time.

It began one afternoon, when I visited my grandmother for lunch. By the time I went home, she had booked me a ticket to the neighbouring island of Lombok for her friend’s funeral. A couple of days later, I found myself sitting inside a propeller plane for the first time. Anyway, we landed at an unexpected place. This island has a better airport than the more popular. It didn’t stop there. The roads were big and clean. I mean seriously. This island is quiet modern. Oh, I almost forgot to mention. We had hired a private driver for our entire 3 day trip and he was extremely helpful. Not only is he a good and fast driver, but he knows his island. Every question my curious dad asked him, he could answer. It felt like we had Wikipedia as a driver.

What I liked most about Lombok is that it’s not as directed towards international tourists, but locals, the mindset of the people wasn’t as rough as of the Balinese. However, I did come across one where a lady tried to sell cheap batik on a deserted beach for RP200,000 (AUD$20). My granddad almost bought it out of pity, but my grandma dragged him out of it. As he turned his back on her, the lady said okay! RP15,000 (AUD$1.50). What a difference! But eventually, being the kind-hearted person my granddad is, he bought 5 pieces.

That’s a great experience.

34. What is the text about?A. Visiting Bali.B. Going to Lombok island.C. Traveling by a propeller plane.D. My kind-hearted granddad.
