Known as the Channel islands, precisely in 1904 berlabuhlah them there and chose to settle in the area Les Vauxbelets.

Besides the religious, they are also very enthusiastic about education, and they established a large school buildings and attractive in those days. 1923 Deodat priest and pastor Cephas, start building a chapel (small church) around the school yard.

This is not the first church they founded, but it is the 3rd. Previously they have built something similar in 1914, but was too small and a lot of criticism so that by the second pastor was destroyed.

Beautiful Catalina Island. california


Melanjutkan acara wisata dari Cruiseship di hari kedua setelah San Diego, adalah pulau Catalina yang terletak diseberang kota Long Beach, California. Long Beach adalah kota yang tak jauh dari Los Angeles dan merupakan kota yang terletak dipantai Pacific dimana pantainya sangat indah dan jernih kebiru2an.

Tour ke Catalina Island bisa dilakukan tersendiri dari kota Long Beach, dengan Ferry yang kurang lebih ditempuh dalam waktu satu jam. Bisa pilih tujuannya kekota Avalon atau Two Harbors. Kebanyakan mengunjungi kota Avalon.

Mengingat kapal tak bisa merapat dipelabuhan kota Avalon, maka penumpang ditransfer dengan kapal ferry.

Perjalanan dengan kapal Ferry tak memakan waktu yang lama, hanya sekitar sepuluh menit sudah sampai di kota Avalon, Catalina Island. Diberi kesempatan untuk tour sampai jam 4 sore. Banyak acara yang tersedia dikota Avalon ini, bagi yang suka snorkeling, bisa mengikuti dengan bayar kegiatannya selama satu jam berikut peralatannya dan menurut mereka yang ikut, pemandangan dibawah laut beserta aneka warna ikan2 nya sangat indah ( Note: feenya kalau ngak salah adalah $45.00 sudah termasuk rental equipment dan instructornya perorang). Sayang tidak terlalu suka jadi pass saja acara ini, melainkan ikut melihat ikan2 dibawah laut melalui tour "Under Sea Gardens"

Tour ini sekitar satu jam, melihat keindahan laut dan perlindungan berbagai jenis ikan dipantai Avalon. Tour feenya sekitar $15.00 per orang

Berbagai jenis ikan yang dilindungi oleh pemerintah dalam rangka melestarikan keberadaannya dipantai Avalon. Sayang photonya berefleksi.

Dengan sengaja awak kapal melemparkan makanan ikan agar para pengikut tour bisa melihat betapa banyaknya ikan2 yang dilindungi.

Catalina IslandAcara selanjutnya adalah mengikuti tourbus, melihat kota Avalon dari atas perbukitan. Keindahan kota dan pantai Avalon yang terletak di Pacific ocean, gedung Casino serta hotel yang mahal. Tour feenya juga sekitar $15.00 perorang

Lautan Pacific, serta pantai dimana tempat untuk snorkeling. Pantai yang bersih dan indah, sejauh mata memandang air laut yang kebiru2an dan jernih sekali.

Gedung casino yang sekarang sudah tutup. Kota Avalon yang indah pemandangannya. Paling kanan diatas adalah salah satu hotel yang termahal sayang saya lupa nama hotel tsb, karena waktu dijelaskan oleh tourguide lagi asik ceprat-cepret camera, bisa sekitar $1,000.00 per malam dan itupun bookingnya harus satu tahun dimuka. Banyak bintang film yang terkenal yang pernah bermalam dihotel tsb. Terlihat cruiseship yang berlabuh diluar pantai Avalon.

Catalina IslandHotel yang terkenal dilihat berdiri diatas perbukitan. Catalina Island pernah terjadi kebakaran ditahun 2007, oleh karena itu pemadam kebakaran selalu siap sedia. Tak terasa waktu berjalan dengan cepatnya. Jam empat sore harus sudah kembali kekapal untuk melanjutkan perjalanannya ke Ensenada, Mexico.

Semoga liputan jalan2 di pulau Catalina ini bisa memberikan masukan bagi Kokiers dan Kokoers yang sedang berkunjung ke Los Angeles,kalau ada waktu bisa memanfaatkan mampir ke Catalina Island.

Soqotra Island, Island of the World's Strangest


When I first read the article about Soqotra Island I was very stunned admiration. The island is located in the territory of Yemen is a desert island inhabited around 40,000 people. Soqotra name itself derived from Sanskrit which means 'Island of Happiness'. So what does that make me impressed with this island?! When viewed through the beach does not have an odd glance. White sand, coral rock, crystal clear sea water, rich beaches in Indonesia is also not less interesting to the beach on the island of Soqotra. But .. liat deh first trees and plants that exist on this island .. Huaaaaaa .. Weird!

Clay rich taste of plant from another planet! No wonder hell .. Because many trees and plants on the island is included in the category of endemic flora, which means there will never be found anywhere else in the world except the island of Soqotra. There are even some varieties that had been predicted to reach age 20 million years louh! Hueeew ..

We see more closely at some examples of plants that were there .. staying add the same chair underneath the table can make the lives ya add the seat cafe at a table directly beneath it can make ya cafe

Well, this is the first. Trees with a very odd shape and we certainly will never temuin in the yard next door neighbor, her name is Dragon Blood tree or dracaena cinnabari. The shape is weird right?! Similar to the spacecraft or the like mushrooms if diliat from above. This tree, by local residents, commonly used as sources of drugs 'all sorts' type of disease. It is said that this tree is also used as ingredients for magic rituals in medieval times. And this certainly would be my favorite trees for background images if someday I get to Soqotra xD

Ever heard about Adenium plant? It's like there are tables of plants in pots that looks rich but flowering taro bogor .. Well, if ordinary Adenium hell, we've often rich clay. But deh Adenium clay in the island of Socotra. Adenium obesium or Latin name is also called Desert Rose. Adenium this type of wealth would not fit deh kalo placed at the pot. Gede really great But these plants do not need soil rich deh. enough taro aja on the rocks and he became this big.

SoqotraKalo of this he said, still a family together cucumber tree. socotranum dendrosicyos name. I myself still do not ever see the name cucumber tree, but my feeling says that the tree cucumber in Indonesia will look much different than this one

When I showed these pictures to one of my friends and expressed a desire to go to Socotra, he just thinks I'm weird. Because he made the plants that give effect to an unpleasant taste. Kind of 'ticklish' he said.

Maybe people's perceptions are different. But I myself still consider it admirable Although I would probably rethink my desire to go to the Island of Soqotra because some of these facts:

* Soqotra Soqotra Island is an island that has a tropical climate of the desert. The heat can reach 40 degrees Celsius. - 22 years living in tropical countries, if a vacation to a hot place too rich not seruuu deh
* Because the Island is an island protected Soqotra sustainability there is almost no roads built. The only road that was there, just built about 2 years ago. It was a tough agreement between the Government of Yemen and UNESCO. - Heuuu, can be imagined if want to tour around the island, maybe we should bring personal camel.
* In order not to many tourists who come to the island Soqotra and for naturalness of Soqotra island was still awake so do not expect to find a hotel or a resort there, - please bring own tent if you want to visit.


Finally, perhaps the island is not a tourist destination Soqotra appropriate and comfortable. After all much better if the island is not too much touched by humans, that there'll reduce habitat damage. we simply admire the oddity of this island through the pictures.

phillip island


Along with the long holiday week-end Australia Day January 26 yesterday me and my family managed to escape from the hot summer weather sting in Melbourne. The purpose of this breakout is Phillip Island, an island in the southeastern city of Melbourne. This island is quite complete and is full of entertainment. That is not any kind of entertainment available on the island which is about 2 hours overland journey from Melbourne. Nothing wrong, if the local government referred to it as Phillip Island Nature Park & ​​Real Entertainment in official tourist brochures are available free at information centers.

To go to Phillip Island is much faster when the main road through highway lines M1 (City-Dandenong), after that take the route Gippsland Freeway Road, Bass Freeway Road before finally arriving at the magnificent bridge linking the mainland (state of Victoria) with Phillip Island. Waow ... from the bridge aja already seen the phenomenal beauty of Phillip Island penguins parade will show her that.

Penguins at Phillip IslandTak knew it was love! Let's eat our first acquaintance at the island area of ​​+ - 1805 hectares. The island is now developed into a tourist nature of this park consists of part-2 like the beach (coastline), Hinterland (plantations), swamps (wetlands), woodlands, and of course walking tracks (to the rower bicycle and pedestrian). Historically Phillip Island was formed from the volcano eruption about 65 million years ago. Slowly-2 island grow and become attractive tourist spots with the landscape as mentioned above.

What is available in super large playground this? If you have a lot of time was able to visit all the attractions / sights are printed in the brochure or the Internet. But if not, we can follow a variety of tour options available or create their own tour according to ability and interest in our pockets. So that tour we planned, it is better to visit the official website or www.penguins.org.au www.visitphillipisland.com Phillip Island and make reservations at the same time booking a ticket. Usually when we booked tickets several tourist attractions as well as the costs will be cheaper than buying a ticket on the day of his.

Well because I carry a small child so I chose a place about two matches with him that basically all happy, like a park, a playground and educate (there is an element edukasinya). So the choice fell to third place following, Churchill Island, Koala Conservation and Penguin Parade. Though there are many places to be visited, such as visiting various beaches, indoor and out door games, walking tracks along the valley and the coast, vineyards (vineyard), swim in the Aquatic Centre and visit the chocolate factory! What this section is well suited for fans of chocolate because in addition to knowing how to manufacture chocolate can also be icip-icip free!

Penguins at Phillip IslandSeperti listed in the brochure, Churchill Island is a fun place for family picnics (which is also courting many of hell hi hi). The small island covering about 55 hectares of this is on the north Phillip Island and can be taken about 15 minutes by car. Many visitors who picnic here. As he held a mat and eat dishes from homes that had been prepared, indeed mingle comfortably once there, under the shady trees. If lazy picnic, available restaurant with delicious food and souvenir shops that sell souvenirs typical Phillip Island (various dolls, wall hangings, magnetic souvenirs, knitting, book-2, postcard, etc.).

After having lunch with the family, as well as to reduce the fat in the body engga no harm in choosing the activity-2 pulled down the object that is on this island. While that is like walking around the island can track along the 5 km for 1.5 hours, looking at monuments, studying the fauna / flora of local and visiting observation deck.

Penguins at Phillip IslandLalu for choosing to visit Churchill Island Heritage Farm, can start their adventure with meyinggahi home / cottage of John Rogers and Samuel Amess (the first European settlers arrived in this island.) Rogers mansion complex and Amess are complete for its time. Victorian stone-walled house is indeed stately and ancient though impressed Antic. We can learn and know the history of social / community life was simple with all the technology in everyday life.

Almost in every room laid out as closely as possible with the current era (1880s). How is the trend at that time, presented in the way they dress, food and furnishings and decorations stored in glass cabinets / hanging on the wall. We also know how they preserve food / beverages stay cold / fresh after a view of the basement to store food / drink that era now referred to as a refrigerator / freezer. Guides are also trained at Churchill Island, also demonstrates how they meet their daily needs-2 by way of gardening, make a variety of simple furniture to raising chickens, sheep, beri-2, cows (Scotland) and horses.

Penguins at Phillip IslandPetualangan history that afternoon ended with a show dog shows, how a dog guard the wily help farmers drive their animals to eat or go back to the stable. Really interesting things that should be known by us all.

Following from Churchill Island, Koala Conservation we head which is about 10 km. Like other conservation place, here visitors can adjacent to the famous animal imutnya it and like to sleep! It is said that for 24 hours, koalas spent about 20 hours to sleep, remember they have to conserve energy because of affairs 'diet'. Yup, the koala is a marsupial species that only eat the leaves-2an (type of eucalyptus). No wonder arrival there, I can only capture a variety of styles / positions they sleep very meggemaskan!


Finally, even before the afternoon, we arrived at last and at the same time favorites, penguins parade. Location of penguins parade at the southwestern tip of Phillip Island. At this location was built luxury building where ticket sales, restaurant, souvenir shop and mini museum to know penguins. Just felt in the small mall deh.

Penguins at Phillip IslandKami arrived around 8 pm (somewhat earlier), as suggested reservation clerk at the information center. Probably because a lot of vacation time will eat Visitors should arrive earlier than the hour show (when the penguins start the action). And sure enough, got there, 've a lot of people coming. According to information I read, penguins-2 that will bring themselves in groups after the sun sets on the western horizon at about 8.30-9 pm). Cute little creature and was rushing-2 emerged from the cold ocean after a day looking for fish to return to the nest (to meet their child-2) in the vicinity of the beach.

Unfortunately for reasons of public order and conservation of penguins, visitors are not allowed to perpetuate the penguins when they appeared on the beach. Visitors must also be willing to cold (due to a gust of wind from the ocean, although longer summer) and patiently waited for the arrival of funny animals-2 terebut.

Penguins at Phillip IslandDan my patience finally paid off, too, when sunset came, around at 9:30 tonight, one by one penguins come to shore with the street style and sound that is not foreign. The audience was stunned, crying-2 with joy because finally able to see first hand the extraordinary natural phenomenon that. Boisterous voice of the child's great-great-cuit penguins and birds also Seagull give special nuance that will be remembered for all time by the visitors.

Here I attach a photo-2 from their official site (photo penguins) and photo-2 results 'colongan' me to record the beautiful moments (the photo on the penguins parade atmosphere), before ya sorry!

Island of Capri, Naples Bay


There are three small islands across the Bay of Naples. However, Capri might be the right choice, a tiny island with its beauty was legendary. Nothing wrong with that island is only about 700 thousand inhabitants, offers a million charm. The clear turquoise sea, reefs or white sandy beaches, underwater caves to house relics of the ruins of the Roman Empire.

No wonder when the Capri is considered as one of the best resort in the world. And do not be surprised if the international celebrities make the Capri as one of the favorite places plesirannya.

Long before these Hollywood stars flashed on Capri, the world's superrich men, have often visited Capri. Tiberius, a Roman emperor, even made the Capri as well as his home office. Averse Tiberius lives in Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire. From the Villa Jovis, his private home in Capri, Tiberius ruled the Roman Empire.

Queen Elizabeth also had a private house on the island, although this time the former home of one of Britain's elite has been razed to the ground. Meanwhile, a Swedish doctor, Axel Munthe, build a small kingdom on the hill ini.Jadi island, do not be too surprised if the prices are always perched high on Capri. In fact, sometimes absurd

Prices of food or any other service, is also quite expensive. But, that's Capri. Though expensive, every day, the island was flooded with 5000 visitors. Last summer, visits per day can exceed the local population. And do not be surprised if it should ngantre for some public facilities in this tiny island.

Island of Capri looks solid, though smaller. Cliffs visible reflective waves and seagull chases after fish. Once Caremar, our ferry, docked at Marina Grande, the island's main dock, the smell was so stinging tourism. Berjejeran souvenir shops, the boats - from the simple to the most luxurious though - crammed into the dock. Tourists are milling about everywhere.

One of the natural beauty was named Grotta Azzura. do not be surprised if you hear this phrase, because it looks like one of the late Sutan novel Fate Alisyabanah (STA). Yes. But on this island, Grotta Azzura (blue cave) is not a novel title. However, a cave behind the sea cliff edge so amazing beauty. Indeed there are many caves in the cliffs around the island. But the most fascinating Grotta Azzura.

The mouth of the cave was located in a steep rugged rock coast. To achieve this, of course must use the boat. Do not ask how the beauty in it. Crystal clear blue sea, the cave ceiling is sturdy, as well as reflections of white sand in it, so amazing. Kinclong deh anyway.

The island is small, so it could one day surround all edges. However, it turns out we will need the 3 days and two nights to enjoy it. Nothing, it seems unfortunately miss this island so fascinating day. Moreover, if you do not want to be like tourists paketan: come, see and then go

One that is so fascinating is the house of eccentric Swedish doctor, Axel Munthe. Munthe built his villa with a mix of ancient objects into relics of the emperor Tiberius had his palatial home. The gardens are beautifully decorated with marble Roman statues in it, as well as views to the sea is so fascinating, making this villa is very special.

Moreover, until now the villa is still intact and well maintained. Unlike the former villa of Tiberius Caesar who lives mere rubble. In addition to the beautiful sea views, the former villa of the emperor Tiberius only worn debris.

You also have the opportunity utnuk barrier reef surrounds the island, and you will feel very amazed looking at the boundary between the sea and the island, looks so beautiful. Not surprisingly, every day there is always a cruise ship docked.

While the town of Capri itself, is also unique. There is a main road, but not a few small roads winding. Maybe if in Jakarta just called the gang, because no more than a meter wide. But this only made the streets more and more unique. Only a tiny battery-powered car can go. The rest, yes pedestrians. And once again you do not have to wonder if the hotel you will tujupun through alley way like this. But, that's Capri. Every day, no matter how expensive, tourists continue to flood. (Rn)

Maldives Island


Enchantment has to offer Maldives. Nature is beautiful with the sea is very clear and blue. First I got an offer project in Maldives, I still do not know where the location of this country, so I look on the internet. It turned out that the Republic of Maldives is located in the Indian Ocean, under Sri Lanka. In 2004, several islands in the Maldives was hit by the tsunami. From Singapore, there are daily flights to the Maldives 08:30 ETD and eta 22:30 (Maldives time 2 hours later than Jakarta, with a flying time of about 4.5 hours). Male Airport, very simple.

Only consists of 2 parts, namely ordinary airport runway and the airport with water for seaplane. The airport is situated on the island Hulule, about 2 km from the capital Jakarta Male.Bila out our airport taxi, so here we have to ride dhonny, motor boat to cross to Male.

After arriving at the new Jetty no taxis, no metered, so drop MRF 15, - (Rufiyaa currency, of which USD 1.00 = 12.75 MRF), that night or any baggage MRF 20, -.

Male city streets are very narrow and a lot of motors, because the island is only about quite small with a population of nearly 150,000 people. The population in the Maldives alone around 300,000 people.

I tried around the island along the coast, only takes about 2 hours, it was with the nyantai streets.

Maldives consists of atoll islands which lie about 800km from north to south. Most consist of the resort, around the 80s, which is managed by international hotel chains such as Hilton, Fourseason and others.

Maldives beach sea view and very beautiful, clear blue sea and a few places we could see the seabed and the fish. For those who like diving, snorkelling, fishing, maybe this is an interesting place. I once asked diving package with a yacht, for a week around USD 1800-USD 3000.00 depending on the type of yacht and service (but I have not been able to bag!)

Food here is much influenced India, such as curry. They used to eat with rotti (like parata, martabak thin) and tuna fish. Tuna fish and big fish are the main food.

Uniquely, they just take the meat. Meanwhile, the bone and its contents discarded. Similarly, chicken, without bones. Only small fish used as bait fishing or maybe in the resort. If anyone could possibly make pempek Kilkenny skin ....

In my job, I've been to the island Villifushi, about 130 NM from Male. I get there by seaplane. It's also an interesting experience in which the aircraft taking off and landing on water. Small aircraft with 15-17 passenger and pilot, co pilot and water attendent very relaxed, they just wear shorts and nyeker (without shoes) or just with sandals.

From the plane, visible group of atolls is very beautiful. The plane landed at the resort area and the aircraft tethered in small pooton. Dhonny and speed boat from the resort will pick up guests.

I myself, speed boat ride again about 2 hours to the island of fishermen and Dhaaru Villifushi. Villifushi is a low island hit by the tsunami in 2004 and is currently being rebuilt as a new permunkinan for the people of Maldives, with funding from the Netherlands and the UN.

Although the weather was very hot, but perfect for fishing. For beginners like me, though home to put fishing line, can get fish for snapper. So, every day I eat fresh fish. But, because it is not good at cooking, most frying aja cuman.

I myself live in Dhaaru, with a population of around 1,500 people, but have a school, Puskemas quite good and clean. Interestingly, the house where I lived under construction. The bathroom was very luxurious, with Bathtube and, jacuzzi.

Well, it turns out the new rich people here affected by the western lifestyle as well. At dinner, we were treated to a rather wet rice, and tuna fish pieces cooked without skin and bones and is only eaten with fresh chilli (chilli round here are small but very spicy) and orange juice. Well, can I swallow too with the help of Coca-cola.

At other times, I went to the northern islands, named Dhuaafaruu, this is also the island that is being rebuilt by the contractor Singapore, ex tsunami. I live on the island Ongoofaaru, about 10-15 minutes by boat motors.

When you ride a boat, fishing boat crew will be pulled out with feathers all the way and can get 3-5 fish of 20-30 cm. Easy, right?

When going back from here, I have difficulty in meeting places in the seaplane, because they give priority to the tourist. Meanwhile, a very expensive speed boat ride. Finally, I ride dhonny with a small engine with a travel time of about about 12 hours.

Well, the scary is that, once separated from the atoll, look no further islands and mobile phones also no signal. The visible, is just blue water and occasionally dolphins appear beside the boat

The crew of the ship while the ship went up briefly to see whether there was a visible island. Just a small navigation tool compass heading south. Finally, we arrived at Male.Leganya hearts.

Truly, an experience menarik.Untung, then April. Because, if May or June, big waves and can reach 2-4 meters. Definitely, I will not have the courage to sail with a traditional boat.

Ok, while it had a bit of Maldives. Next time I will be a story about the lives of the Maldives and so forth.
