Saturday, 30th January 2010, it was my first journey with makassar backpacker. I decided to join that trip after I heard my friend’s story about the past trip with makassar backpacker, and when they showed me their picture, it’s amazing. “I must join the next trip!”, that’s what I thought at that time.

It shocked me at the first time, there are so many people join in that trip, it means, many new friends for me…! Really, the first trip must have been attract so many people to join this great trip, I just can’t wait for the bus to go at that time (or should I just call it truck?)

okay, the first destination is An-Nadzir village (I hope I spell it right). We have to wear all in black cause they said An-Nadzir wear all in black, too. What a nice guest. But when we arrived at An-Nadzir Village… hey, it’s not that black… but, who care? we are there… in there, we met with “what they call mayor (maybe?)” and have a little conversation, but really, I didn’t understand what he talking about, I just pretending that I listen to him, but my head goes to different place, lol. I’ll I’ll try anyway, they said about star, goverment, cut off my neck if I bla bla bla, we are not community, I’m not Ki Joko bodo (who said that anyway?), etc

it’s fun anyway, finally I ever goes to weird place, haha.

the next destination is Parang loe Waterfall!! C’mon sir, could you drive faster? I can’t wait any longer! XD (our driver is great, give him applause)

when we closer to parang loe waterwall, we have to walk because it’s impossible to continue with our truck. It was tiring but fun, it was like in the movies, streets steep, slippery, downhill, great! let’s do that again! *lol*

my legs was so tired after that anyway

after we arrived at parang loe waterfall, wow! awesome…!! it’s so beautiful! We have to captured this awesome picture and moment, so it means, it’s time for camera …! let’s see who’s the most narcissistic, haha. (just kidding)

I’m not sure how long we spent our time at that waterfall, but I’m not satisfied yet, no, even the whole day will never make me satisfied, it’s so beautiful there.

okay, the next and the last destination is puntondo…! I really missed that place! It spent about four hours from Parang loe waterfall to Puntondo, I surprised it can be that long. We arrived at eight p.m (If I not mistake), and I already lost most of my energy, but fortunately, we were greeted by dinner…!! yippie!

After that most of us went to take a bath, but not for me, isn’t that great? lol
after take a bath we have a little games before we finally goes to sleep so we could continue our activity tomorrow. *yawn

In the morning, we all take a bath (I’m not sure), then have a breakfast, have a little wet games, helping the villagers, play in the beach, and many other exciting activity. It really really fun, but really, we have to go back home after that

this trip with makassar backpacker really fun, it’s unforgetable moment, no regrets, many new friends, many new memories, many new stories to tell, and many many other good things! XD

I just can’t wait for the next trip…

thank you all
