MY EXPERIENCE

Last semester, my school held an excursion to explore Labuan Bajo. It was a full day trip. Labuan Bajo is a hidden paradise situated in eastern Indonesia.We departed from school early in the morning so we could do many activities.

The first place we visited was Wae Rana beach. It is a small beach, located betweenBinongko beach and Wae Cecu beach. We enjoyed the sunrise there. Too bad,people were not aware of the cleanliness. Litter was everywhere. The sunrise was beautiful, though. After enjoying the sunrise, we had breakfast. After we finished our breakfast, we went shark diving. It was the first time for me to see sharks of all kinds. We could also see the underwater creatures, like bright coral, manta rays, turtles, seahorses, and fish.

In the afternoon, we had lunch . The food was delicious. We had our free time after lunch. Some of us took some rest, some others explored the place.

Our next activity was going to Rangko Cave. There, we had nature and wildlife tours . We enjoyed the beautiful cave shaped by nature. We also swam in the pool inside the cave. The water was so clear that you could see the rocks under water.

Before we went home, we went to Padar Island. We wanted to see the landscape in panoramic view, so we hiked for about 30 minutes to reach the peak. It was tiring, but the view was breathtaking. Padar Island is unique because it has several beaches with different colors.

Exploring Labuan Bajo with all the activities made me realize that our country is “a country of treasures”. I felt so happy that I could enjoy all the activities that the package offered.

Then we gave her all gifts we have prepared before, led her blowing the candles on the birthday cake with a wish that she could surprise my best friend on her special day, although she successfully surprised me even more.
