Haloo, this is my very late post about visited Taman Nasional Baluran. I went there when I was in third semester. Its about 6 months ago. Well, I write this because I really miss to go to someplace-like-this now. Fresh air, please.
Taman Nasional Baluran is located in Banyuwangi. If we go there by car, it takes about 7 hours from Surabaya. My sister, Amelia, invited me to join her vacation with her best friends. My sister has four bestfriend who one of them is her boyfriend too. At the same time, I think they are more look like "geng penguasa kampus" hehehe..

Mas Adrian's house was the meeting point. Actually the first plan was Kawah Ijen. But unfortunately, the weather was not good in there. There was storm and the blue fire was not seen at all. So we turned into plan B, Taman Nasional Baluran.
At about 5 p.m. we arrived in Banyuwangi. We stopped in warkop and ngopi-ngopi before going to homestay that we've already reserved before. There were a lot of homestay near Baluran. We have to pay about 75-150 rupiah for a night. We can also request for breakfast or dinner with term and condition. After taking a bath, we had dinner. The boys planned to ngopi-ngopi outside. But I and mbak Amel prefer to sleep because tommorrow we have to get up so early.
We got up at 4. After taking a bath and praying Subuh, we went to Baluran. I'm very excited because this is my first time across the forest before sunrise. It was little bit scary because the road was so dark. Although we didn't walk on foot hehe. We stopped in Bakol and parked our car here. In Bakol there were so many monkey. Don't try to bring food if you don't like monkey starring at you and then try to own your food. In Bakol there was Pos Pantau. In here, we can see Baluran at the best view. The were savana, trees, fresh air and (this is my favourite).. Bama beach!

Bama beach is about 3 kilometers far from Pos Pantau. We can go there by car, but I, mbak Amel, mas Lukman dan mas Amik prefer to go there on foot. Why? Because the view was too beautiful and we could take a lot of photos hehe. We were so lucky. We met some buffallo, rangkong, deer, and ayam hutan. It was tiring but so fun! And also the weather was so nice. Romantis-romantis gimana gitu..
In Bama we made some noodles for recharge our energy. Actually there were a canteen in Bama which is sale some food and drink. But we prefer to make noodles by ourselves in case to catch the feeling of nature wkwk :p After having lunch, finally...... beach!
