[Lombok] - Tanjung Ringgit and Cannon Cave

Tanjung Ringgit.


You can get to this hill by motorbike from Pink Beach.

A short bumpy ride, but it's totally worth to reach this unique and beautiful spot.

 The charm of natural scenery is so eyes' feasting from this height.




Be captivated by the vast high sea overlooking the sea of Australia.




No!!! You're not supposed to jump from here!

 No barrier so do take care of your own safety!

Beware of strong wind too...

 Do you know that this site was used by the Japanese as their army quarter during WWII?

 

 

Tanjung Ringgit is strategically located, so it's an advantage to monitor
any strike coming from allies, especially Australia.

Therefore, you can find some remains of buildings, underwater cave at Gili Mangkok and equipment of Japan such as heavy artillery cannon to defend from enemy attacks...

Gua Meriam (Cannon Cave).

This heavy cannon is one of the deadly weapons to attack enemies that come near 

to the coast as it's facing north to south directly facing the beach.

The storage of ammunition located on the rear right side of the cannon that  

make the process of reloading much easier and faster. 

 Let's spread the love and stop the war!

[Lombok] - Tangsi Pink Beach

Tangsi Beach or better known as the Pink Beach.

It's located in the village Sekaroh, Jerowaru, East Lombok.

 

This beach is one of seven beaches in the world that has a pink sand beach,

which is one of two beaches in Indonesia that has pink sand.

Because of its uniqueness, it attracted beach lovers to visit this beach in Lombok.

Tranquil calm beach to spend half a day after spending hours of ride from Senggigi.

Mild waves inviting travelers to play, swim, snorkeling or just enjoy sunbath by the beach.

The color pink on the sand grains formed from white color sand 

mixed with crushed red coral.

The sand  more obvious under the sunlight and when it's exposed to sea water. 

 Red Coral and Pink sand (supposedly all pink

but it turned to black. I wonder how I wonder why...).

Do climb up the hill to get the perfect breathtaking scenery of Pink Beach. 

 What an exotic tropical beach with extensive grasslands on the other side.

Heaven on Earth.

The end of the cliff...

 

 Hello~ there!!!

 Wish you're here!

Hole on the cliff.

Tangsi Beach II.

 

But this beach don't have the pink sand...

 

Ayam Taliwang for lunch...

Let's go to Tanjung Ringgit now!

Yes, you need to rent motorbike as the the road is narrow, rocky 

and it's rough terrain for car to go up there.

[Indonesia] - Lovely Lombok

Yahoo... Just back from my Lombok trip ( I mean 3 weeks ago). 

You supposed to see this post 3 days ago, but... but because of 2 images that I wanted to resize at html format, the whole content just gone with one click of 'blank'space (backspace) ?!! Mama~~~ it's Blank Blank! *Bang Bang head!!! Now, I'll just summarized it to shorter post...

But, in terms of luck... I can consider myself a lucky person! 

My name was listed last on the winner list of Sea Games Guess and 

Win Contest  out of 11,000 entries and out of 51 who guessed correctly!

It's kinda hard to decide where to go, because there are 11 countries in Southeast Asia. Actually, you can choose any city in these countries that has available on Singapore Airline or Silkair flight.

We listed Philippines and Indonesia as we're planning for beach vacation. We actually keen to go to Boracay, but found out that late June until the end of October is the typhoon season. At the end we selected Lombok, unspoiled little sister of Bali Island because we'd been to Lombok for four times.

 Thank you for the tickets to 'Winning Lombok.'

My son asked his Dr Bear to accompany us because they are not joining us. I'd to daily update him Dr Bear activities with the photos.

 

Dr Bear arrived at Changi airport and had fun playing free games

and wefie with Singapore’s National Flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim

while waiting for boarding.

Wanna have good dose of 'Vitamin Sea'? I'll recommend this 5D/4N to soak up the sun, plenty time of snorkeling, swimming and sun bathing (to take selfie for Instagram-worth photos) at gorgeous white /  beautiful pink / unbelieveable pepper sand at Lombok's most picturesque beaches~!!!
