It was back in 2018.
I ticked off Pulau Weh Indonesia from my travel list with a bunch of crazy friends. It was a simple, small and restricted resort where we stayed for a few nights, it can be boring if I were here alone... totally not during this journey. Because there're 9 of us.
Here are some highlights and photos of this escape...
- Resort around Iboih beach (they know the diving location but I don't because I don't dive, I swim and snorkel LOL)
- Kilometer Nol (Titik Nol Kilometer)
- Gua Sarang
- Gunung Api Jaboi (4 kawah or maybe more)
- Waterfall
- Eat, sleep, talk, swim (or dive), have fun, repeat
View at the resort around Iboih beach upon our arrival was toooo awesome. 💓

Eat like this most of the time :) |
We woke up for the sunrise, but one of the morning the weather changed quickly. The sun rose at around 6.20am, that was rare for me to wake up at that hour. Able to practice healthy lifestyle for a few days because we actually sleep very early too 😂

Passed by Kilometer Nol (Titik Nol Kilometer), did not go up to the viewpoint but we had the most expensive Indomee at one of the eateries around there.

The craziest thought ever was to even consider about swimming across the sea (even though it is really beautiful) to reach Gua Sarang while the wave was strong with so much of uncertainty, and it's really far (2 young lads offered to bring us but "segala risikonya ditanggung sendiri").

What a view while walking down to the Gua Sarang (gosh this view, I want to wake up to this during the weekend - because weekdays is for works) |

Resting somewhere near Gua Sarang. That's the limit for me because the entrance to the Gua Sarang is too dangerous |

The third day was a short hike to Gunung Api Jaboi. And a waterfall, I totally forgot its name.

A hike up to Gunung Api Jaboi was an unexpected one.

Oh ya, we get to Pulau Weh by van and ferry from Aceh. Our flight was from KLIA2 to Aceh.
Aceh was our last stop on the last day!

That's the place that hit by earthquake and tsunami in 2004.
Okayy.
That's all from me.
I will read this post again when I'm old and forgetful.
