My friends Feabi told us at group chat that our tour package was cancelled because the travel agent already fully loaded for that days. We try to search new travel agent but most of them already full booked at the same date. Then we decided to not using travel agent but we try to rent car and stay at guest house/home stay. I try to Google it. And let Feabi called the contact person that I found at internet. On the afternoon she confirmed that the home stay already booked and rent car already had deal.

Our cars already ready for heading to Kiluan. From Tanung Karang to Kiluan it took 2 hours. The road condition to reach Kiluan not really good. There were some road really awful. You must be very careful when you drive.
At 8:30 am we already reached our home stay. Put our staff in the house and prepared our self for visited Pasir Putih
We back to home stay and wait for lunch which served by the wife of the home stay owner. We had delicious lunch :9
After lunch we headed to Pulau Kalapa. Island across the Kiluan. Our tour guide rent the life jacket and snorkel gear. That was my very first time had snorkel *um yeah..
And I was amaze... saw a lot of school fish down there.. Oh lovely. Totally envy with my friend who can swim without life jacket. Swim freely
After feel enough to snorkel, Koplak, we called our tour guide like that because he is ridiculous and silly, took us to Laguna to watched sunset. We had no idea where he will took us. But when there is a cliff.. about 7 meters, he said us the Laguna is behind the cliff. And I was shocked.. It was totally extreme cliff for me. I collected my gut to climb it. And when you reached the Laguna.. the view was breath taking.. wowww
We didn't get sunset because the cloud was dark.. so we decided to came back. But when we want to go home.. the rain come.. and when after dawn the rain already stop. When we back to home stay by the boat..it was dark and beside us the dark cloud and storm light with creepy wind. Also sometime our boat shaking because the wind. Oh god... super horror.
When we arrived.. our dinner almost ready. Cleaned up our self and had dinner.. after that we all felt sleepy...

Woke up early to saw dolphins....
our tour guide said yesterday the number of dolphins came out was enormous. And we all soooo excited to heard that. But based on what I read. Dolphin not really like to came out to sea when the wave is quite big. And last night we had rain. Myself lower expectation to saw the enormous dolphin.
We saw plenty dolphin.. and when we headed to dolphin usually came out.. the wave was big..
Not quiet happy and satisfied with the dolphin tour... we decided to water fall. Our tour guide said it must by motorcycle to reached it. Because the road condition super terrible. And YES it is. The road was steep and the condition of road not really good. We stopped at the nearest water fall. not to big.. but we were so happy to swim at there. The water is totally fresh.
That's the end of our trip.
I heard next week the electricity will came up to the village.. so perhaps next month the cellular signal at there will pretty good.
We had blank signal when at this trip.. but it was also good. No disturbing message..ait??
