Long journey

Long siren sounds are heard. The sign is soon the ship will arrive at the destination port. As he impatiently wanted to get down, everyone started to line up and one by one walked out when the ship had completely stopped. The clock was at 15:40 when we arrived. Soon we got off the ship and were instructed by the father of the office employee who accompanied us to get out of the port to the car that would take us to the hall. The air becomes hot, even though it is sotre, but the sun is still scorching.

Maybe because near the sea it gets hotter. We started out of the harbor and sure enough outside there were already a lot of open tub cars and private cars waiting for us. Large bags and boxes containing roomy goods and equipment immediately we raise to the open tub car.

Because not enough all enter a small car, then many boys who ride in a tub car while keeping our goods. This trip will take about 1.5 hours to arrive at the office of the hall. Because of the boisterous and the sheer number of people we didn't realize one of our friends was left behind in the harbor. We only realized it when we got to the office and counted, it turns out we were less than one person. Ah really troublesome. That's what came out of our mouths when we realized that. To save time, one of the officers brought a motorbike to pick him up at the port. He seemed to have missed when he went to the toilet.

This office building is larger than the first office where we checked health. At the front of the office building there is the inscription "Tagi Togumua" using the local language which means unlimited exploration. Well in this office it turns out not only we will do research in the forest. Two students from Tidore University will come with us. They are students who are PKL. In addition, there were 4 students who came from Bandung. They are doing PKL as well but it is almost done and they will soon return to Bandung. It's just that they're going with our group to camp tonight.

After dinner and prayers we began to prepare to return to continue the journey. This time our trip to the resort office and will be taken for 3 hours by car. But this time it is not an open tub car anymore that we will ride but a private car.Our luggage items have been brought first using a tub car and we followed behind him. It was unexpected, we who had thought this place was still left behind turned out to be wrong. There are already many cars here - good cars like the ones we ride now. Only the roads we passed were not all paved.

But still bring your own sensations during the trip. One car filled with 6 people.All the way I focus on the scenery around. Clove and coconut trees dominated the types of plants we passed along the way. One thing that makes us feel good is even on rocky roads or damaged roads even though our car does not care. Even these drivers say that they are used to this kind of thing, even they race. When one car starts to overtake then the other car will increase the speed to overtake each other as well. The winding, cobbled streets and we who were not used to a little shock. We started to feel nauseous and some even vomited.

It's getting night. We decided to rest for a while while waiting for friends who were removing their stomachs with vomiting. Indeed, this trip is a bit extreme.How can they race on this winding road plus street lighting was very minimal. Our first time was in shock. But there are also some people who seem to really enjoy their journey.

After a short rest, we continued our journey. The clock has shown at 19:00 and the road is getting darker. Our driver said we'd be there at about 8 p.m. Then it's still an hour away we'll be in this car and enjoying this crazy ride. My body feels tired, bones like broken every time a car passes through a rocky road. Not many residents are outside the house, said the driver at 8 pm residents in this village are no longer doing activities outside the home. The door of the house we passed was closed.

After a short break, a large truck came and stopped in the front yard of the office.It seems we will continue the rest of the journey with this truck.

Someone gave instructions that we would be leaving for the camp site soon. Many were lazing to stand from their lying position when the instructions came. I want to go to sleep because my body is very tired. But no one should be left behind like this afternoon.

Sure enough we were told to get on the truck. A plastic chair is used as a tool to make it easier for us to climb onto the tub of the truck.After it is ready, we go on a trip. This time the day was completely dark, and because the road we went through was quiet plus through the forest it was a little horrified. The sound of the night beast beast began to sound. He said we would arrive at the location at 10 pm.Hmmm the eyes have started to sleepy, but sleeping with a standing position in the truck plus a road that is not much different from the road to the resort office is not possible. Finally to get rid of the fear that began to attack, we decided to sing alone in the truck. Starting from Indian songs, pop songs and even Indonesia highway we sing in the truck, to repel fear.

Be careful in front of the tree branch, said a father who accompanied us. Those high-bodies are starting to get down. Sometimes at times like this I feel lucky also with my height is not how much. We who are short can take refuge among those whose bodies are towering.There are fortunately also short people, although often ridiculed, but in some situations it is lucky.
