holiday season might be passed, and we all back again to real life, back to work. Honestly I didin't have time to have an holiday in the end of last year, what apitty me!!! but long before desember, i had my holiday in september of 2013. it was all day long vacation. we went to cingkuak island where is still in Painan, west sumatera. We arrived at Painan at 11 o'clock, the weather was good, and we went directly to cingkuak island by boat. i was affraid because that was my first time to ride a boat. The boat was not allowed to be loaded more than 15 people including the driver.

it was less than 10 minutes to get to cingkuak island cerocok beach Painan, I liked the scene from the boat, also the weather was so amazing that day. From the boat i could see indian ocean at my right side  and hills at my left side. the lanscape

The view from Langkisau, Painan West Sumatera

On December last year, I had a chance to come to Painan, is in south coast of West Sumatera. We came there to attend West Sumatra’s exhibition of international literacy day for 4 days. At First day we came we were just busy preparing our booth, and attended the opening ceremony, Painan’s regent said in his welcoming speech that there are few natural attraction in Painan, which were Carocok Beach, Langkisau Hill and Jembatan Aka ( The Root Bridge). But because of we had to attend several event at day one, so we barely had time to visit those place.

But We had that chance on day 3. The first destination was Langkisau, because its location quite close to the location where the even was held. It is a hill, maybe it is medium size of hill, but to reach the top of the hill, we must go through a fairly sharp ascent. Along the way, we can see beautiful views of both sides of the hill, south-west is the ocean and the east is the city. The day was cloudy, so we only got the cloudy pictures

Those a very nice view, I think this experience i won't forget, even stiil in the same province, I barely had a chance to come here again.
