Anak Krakatau

Scenic and a nice spot to really look around, though the boat ride was rather deadly if waters are bad. Managed to perform 2 merlion shows for my friends on board, to and fro, entertainment while commuting.

Carita("Cha-ree-ta") is quite a nice town despite the fact that the natives do like to 砍菜头, simply by difference in skin colour and tourist looks. The good thing is that S$ is pretty strong, so it withstood the fluctuations in pricing. The people there are not good at math either, do check your bills before paying. And, they have a thing about giving you OLD menu and then charging your food to the price on the NEW menu, which is obviously higher. Lodging was interesting, room with TV which has only ONE malay channel subjected to the fancies of the main cable TV at the lobby, dusty room as Wai complains about but I thought it was quite alright, faulty flushing device, attached bathroom that runs out of water once in a while, sticky bedsheets and so.



Wa cha lookin' at?

neat looking resort eh?

Gantry set up to collect admission to waterfalls!!!


Some river crossing work...

Day after we visited the waterfall at Carita, we took a boat out to Anak Krakatau. Not much boat ride photos taken though, I was busily engaged in seasickness.


Black beach due to volcanic ash perhaps?
