Beach Losari In Makassar , Indonesia

Throughout Indonesia, there is only one beach to watch the sunrise and sunset at one point stands the same. "The beach was the beach Losari, Napier", so said Vice President Jusuf Kalla told me while proud of this beach, a while ago. At first I was puzzled by this fact. The position of the beach that extends north-south is indeed able to watch the rising and setting sun in one position. Unique indeed.
Apart from that, the beach Sejong is one of the most rehearsal and chic beaches I have ever come across Indonesia, and another great beach is located right heart of a big city. Comparing with some shoreline big cities in Java, it is clear Losari top: free garbage and comfortable visit. As I write this I imagine how smelly and kroditnya situation in Tanjung Priok in Jakarta, or the port of Perak in Surabaya. Not surprisingly, the first Queen Elizabeth of England when they travel to Jakarta (age 80) he did not want to come down from the car when they arrive at Tanjung Priok because he was so shocked by the smell and amburadulnya situation at the port. He thought, Tanjung Priok as beautiful with the Hong Kong harbor. This incident became "incident protocol" is embarrassing, but it faces at Jakarta port.

Losari very strategic coastal position and become embedded in the atmosphere of the city of Napier which stretches as far as approximately 4 kms. The beach is directly accessible by the main road the main protocol. Grew hotel across the street with a variety of classes. Call it a name of the hotel is located very close to the shoreline al: Hotel MGM, Losari Beach Hotels, Quality Hotels, Hotel Aryadutta, and the Hotel Aston. For mid-budget travelers, can choose Sejong Hotel Beach, or rather go slightly into the street Joseph Latumahina, there is a nice little hotel that is Hotel Canary. I myself prefer Quality Hotel or the Hotel Sejong Beach because of its location okay, and the price is not exorbitant.

The most ideal time to visit is late afternoon Losari coast between 1500 hrs to 2100 hrs. Many who come here to sit down sit down to enjoy clean beaches, jogging along the pedestrian as far as 500m, or eat diwarung stalls that have been relocated by the local government (the most southern tip of the beach). Young and old will come here to enjoy the sunset while membelu food from merchants. If you like jogging, it also is ideal. Clean air and the wind blows non-stop, the sun's red-gold sweep of human face sit beach.

Merchants sell a variety of food ranging from light snacks are just chock stomach like meatballs or fried. There are also special food such as Coto Makassar or various sea food dishes with the original recipe of bugis. Really nice!

The atmosphere is very orderly and safe, I feel comfortable here. But there is one that I am complaining about ie: singers. They ngeyel, can not be rejected for not singing. So any sort of compulsion to listen to them sing, and like to force with a satire if not given money. They were singing not only alone, but comes with the same group of friends together to sing with a tone (sorry, yes) is not good. Leisure beach is reduced minus one point only because because of the presence of singers who do not know the rules and forced to play this. There are good local government and officials do counseling for comfort in Losari not polluted because of hordes of singers because this way.

When a Dutch traveler named Junghun came in the 19th century, the population around it as a place where spirits of the ancestors dwell, which no one was there without dying, the birds were reluctant to fly on it. Opinion they will not completely wrong.
t is true that White crater Patuha was authoritative, because of its height and silence. True, that the white crater was haunted, that merely because of concentrated sulfuric fumaroles to be calculated when the wind stops rotating.

The rest of White crater that is where the incarnation of paradise never lowered into the earth, so elegant, quiet, away.

Month July August temperatures can drop as low as 10 ° C in the daytime and at night 5oC. A light breeze carrying away the fog of concentrated sulfuric steam away. Firmly yell; said will be forwarded echo her by the walls of the Rock to heaven. Around the crater in the dry season quite easy to do; searching for points of view that perhaps forgotten runoff from heaven.

visitors will not stand for long buffeted by the cold mountain winds that sneak into the bone marrow. Seruput bandrek at a stall in the parking lot could provide a sense of warmth in the throat is dry.

The atmosphere of silence in that place will bring relaxed atmosphere. Your inner resonance with the nature around capable of filling the battery life replenished.

Patuha white crater is not the only place that should be hunted in Ciwidey. Many other places around the store for a million charm that would bother chasing paradise scattered.

Remembering stanza Marcels song, which tells about a country in the cloud, which probably meant was - Crater White, Ciwidey, 2300 meters above sea level.
