1. TANJUNG JABUNG TIMUR II, Nipah Panjang


Pohon pisang dan buahnya...nikmat!

Banana trees with fruits in them...delicious!











Dari Jambi 4 jam ke arah Suaka Kandis. Beli tiket di sana dan naik kapal kecil ke arah Nipah Panjang dan Tanjung Jabung Ujung seberang pulau Berhala.

From Jambi around 3 hrs drive with the car arrived at Suaka Kandis near a river.
Bought tickets there to go to Nipah Panjang
and Tanjung Jabung Ujung with a small boat. It is a seashore across Pulau Berhala (Berhala Island)

Sampai dengan selamat setelah menempuh 4 jam pulang pergi, perjalanan kapal kecil, sempit. sempat seperti jongkok

Praise God, safe and sound back on the shore.. after 4 hours trip on a small boat, squatting position....for someone who can't swim this is a suicide mission...but by God's grace he made it all the way...MIRACLE!! <><
