With the motor nebeng a friend who eventually I went from Syamsuddinoor service towards our camping spot located in Waduk Riam Kanan, Banjar (To read about the Riam Kanan dam can be opened here : Link).
there are seven people who went, and incidentally it is still one of my place in college campus, so although different forces but still know each other so it was not too hard to adjust to one another.

Time has showed nearly half past three in the afternoon, but two members of the group who had not yet arrived, the owner kelotok already getting nervous because our lives are awaited and it was getting late. I'm afraid he did not want to wait and leave us, and we had to hire kelotok own.
Because we are going to visit is the island that is passed by public transport, then we do not hire kelotok to save costs, but the consequences we have to follow the existing schedule, but her departure schedules of public transport in the Riam Kanan erratic alias waiting passenger then departed. We only pay Rp. 11,000 per person for once departed.

Finally awaited come too, we immediately set out with wooden kelotok become a major transportation community living around the reservoir Riam Kanan. The wind blowing pretty kecang so the waves slightly elevated, even local residents said there are usually around December waves are sometimes quite high so it feels like at sea.
After about a 45 minute journey across the water reservoir that looks greenish, finally we get off at the seaside our destination island, the local people call it the Gunung Batu. Not without reason any mention of this, it turns out most of the island is made up of rocks, when walking in grassland which dries we must be careful to choose the step so as not to stumble stones unpredictable emergence place.

Gunung batu is seemingly barren mountain, not many trees that grow, only weeds and grass that dominates the island's vegetation. But that is the point of this charming, expanse of grass that dries like savanna into a beautiful place to just take pictures, in the rainy season it will turn green grass, some trees into a fitting ornament to beautify the background photo.
After satisfied to take pictures and walk finally we decided to build a tent right under a tree, a rather tall grass cut forced us to our resting place of comfort, but still protruding rocks we can not cut, so we have to adjust the position of sleep.

Submissive actual experience of a friend who has been here, on this island we could watch the sunrise and sunrise. But apparently the fog blocking the sun to radiate beauty, the effects of smog was not just me feel when in Palangkaraya, but also to far to the Waduk Riam Kanan.
Night full of warmth we pass unnoticed by the chatter without a clear topic, a cup of hot coffee into complementary. Bright evening star (although fog) made me to decide to sleep outside, repose mat and sleeping bag is enough to dispel my miss to sleep in the open.
 |
Apparently sunrise we are still waiting for the same fate as the sunset the day before, shrouded in fog and clouds that appear on the eastern horizon. After breakfast we immediately packing remember the promise to be picked up at 8 am at the place we originally by kelotok that we were riding when departing. After making sure no rubbish is left behind and a small bonfire was extinguished completely, we stepped to the extraction point.
 |
But apparently when we still engrossed photographs kelotok owner came to us, he apparently came too quickly than promised, somewhat contrary to the public transport habits in Indonesia, even late.
Because it does not have time to bathe and swim in the Waduk Riam Kanan, we finally decided to Kambang dropped out in the river on the way home. Kambang river is rocky river and used as a place of recreation for local masyarakal. Maybe next time I will write specifically for this place..
