Hummm, been long time not show up here and had bunch of spiders web all around my blog ahaha. Joke!
Did you know? I was travelling just alone! To another city! Anyer! Took 6 hours!
Oh, did I say that I live in city of Banten province? Yeah, actually I live here in South Tangerang, Banten Province. And Anyer in Banten Province as well.
Why did I say it from Jakarta and took 6 hours to get same Banten?
Hold up hold up....lemme tell ya.
I live in South Tangerang and it is practically exactly just seperated by a river from South Jakarta. Soooo, if I said I live in Jakarta or I live in Banten Province, I wasnt wrong haha.
This is the map if you dont believe me :p
Then, where my Alone Trip story?
Haha okay I just started up with the area definition.
Did you know why I travelled to Anyer, and alone?
Actually I wasn't take the trip with my own plan. But it was from Education Departemen of Province to held a Workshop for every Community Learning Centre in Banten Province each city. I chose from the one of them, but only one person of foundation who could attend it. So that I went just myslef. Believe or not, I took public transportation and just spent about Rp 50.000,- for the fare.
Strated with...Oh, to let you know, I just take public transportation to get Anyer from South Tangerang.
I went to a busses terminal in Kampung Rambutan (East Jakarta) by 510 from Ciputat or you can get the bus in Lebak Bulus Terminal, I paid Rp. 3.000,-. Here its look :

I went by that buss untill Terminal Kampung Rambutan, the busses stop.
After that I just need to choose any buss with destination to Merak, because I need to stop in Terminal Bayangan Cilegon. Just ask to the buss driver "Cilegon?" if he replies "Ya ya, lewat Cilegon" (Yes, yes, passes Cilegon). Kinda forgot which one I chose. Because too many busses with Merak destionation. I paid Rp. 23.000,-. Here the Kampung Rambutan Buss Terminal :
Busses come at this gate

Busses go out with this gate

In the buss, probably took 3 hours. Because passes many highway's gates. I spent with sleep and taking some moments of view outside. Unfortunately, the buss went fast so the picts are blured haha.
Dont forget to pay attention to the street signs! So you'll know what area that you've passed and you wouldnt be like me -_-
Here my sad story :
Every buss driver should has assistant to sell tickets to passengers and to hear any passenger needs. I gave him message to remind me in Cilegon when I pay the ticket he gave me. Then when it was in Cilegon the driver assistant said "Cilegon...Cilegon!". And you know what, I fell asleep!
No, I didn't hear that, Sir! I was fell asleep! W Y U NO WAKE ME UP!
Yeah readers, my bad. All I remember just when I woke up I saw the street sign that shows "Merak" with go straight symbol.
"Whaaaattt? I just missed Cilegon?!!" I was panicked like I'd never fulfill my duty or even come back to Jakarta and meet my family. Oh yes, it is hyperbole.
I asked the old guy behind my seat "Pak, Cilegon sudah lewat ya pak?" (Sir, did Cilegon has passed).
He replied "Iya, barusan aja lewat. Sekarang udah mau ke Pelabuhan Merak" (yes, just passed it. Now we are going to Merak harbor"
Harborrr???? Oh my God I didn't ever been to Harbour and dont know what I should I do now oh God T.T
Then I asked him again "Terus kalau mau ke Cilegon bagaimana Pak? Saya sebenernya mesti turun di Cilegon" (Then how to get back to Cilegon, Sir? Honestly I should stop in Cilegon).
"Ooh, nanti naik bis yang ke arah Jakarta aja lagi. Nanti juga lewat Cilegon lagi" (oh, later you just take the buss to Jakarta, it will pass in Cilegon as well).
After say thanks to him, I felt so relax.
The view was so beautiful. All along the way I saw are beautiful blue sea because of sunshine brightly and big ships that maybe for importing and exporting products. I astonished to saw all of the beautiful view until I get the Merak busses terminal. And it also an harbor.
I tried to ask how to get Anyer before I take the buss to Cilegon. I asked to a man who I assumed he is from this place and knows the way around terminal.
"Kang, ka Cilegon kumaha nya?" (Mr, how to get Cilegon?).
Oh, because there is people talk with Sundanese, so I also talk with the language. My mom is Sundanese and I am good at it hehe.
The man just replied "Oh, iya tau neng. Sini akang anter" (Oh, I know. Here I ride for you).
I didn't understand why he didn't just tell me how to get there. I walked little to follow him, he took his motorcycle. And I know, he is tukang ojek! (ojek man) it is same as taxi driver but they use motorcycle to carry the passengers. And the price is slightly different. Because using his own price. So you probably find different prices between one and another tukang ojek. We MUST to ask first before you take ojek. Dont pay after you get the destination. They will suck your blood!
And also one tip for yo, dont ask how to get a place to them if you prefer to take another cheaper public transportation. You can ask to police officer, or people who sells anything. Just people who doesnt have any business with transportation like drivers of taxi, ojek, becak, etc etc
Dang, that was my first word in my brain. Immediately I sad to him "Kok ojek? Saya cuma tanya jalan. Soalnya saya mau ke Anyer" (why ojek. I just asking a way. Because I wanna go to Anyer)
"kan gampangan pake ojek neng. Akang anter sampe cilegon. Nanti tinggal naik angkot arah Anyer" (using ojek is easier, isn't it. I'll carry you until cilegon. Then you just take public transportation to Anyer)
"Nteu ah Kang, nuhun" (Sorry I dont wanna, thankyou)
Then I walk a little more and find a man wears light green waistcoat with word POLISI (police). Yes, perfect person for asking. I came close to him and ask the way again.
"Neng naik angkot merah aja yang sebelah sana, nanti turun di simpang tiga, dari situ ada mobil silver sampe Anyer" his explaination. (You can take the red car overthere, stop in Simpang Tiga, then you take the silver car until Anyer)
After say thankyou I just go to find the red car. Not far I found it and of course dont forget to ask wether your destination is suitable with the car's direction destination.
"Simpang Tiga, Kang?" (Simpang Tiga, Sir?)
"Muhun, Neng" (Yes). With no more words, I get in it.
But... If you didnt have problem like mine, you can stop in Cilegon and take the cute purple color car. It looks like this:
With labels "Simpang - PCI"
But, because of I was lost and accidently passed Terminal Bayangan Cilegon, I took another car. It was red color with Simpang Tiga destination as well (thank God). Here its look :

Fifteen minutes later, the driver told me "Simpang, Neng" (Simpang, Miss)
"Oh, nuhun kang" (thankyou, Sir) I went out and paid Rp. 6.000,- to him.
Then I immediately found the silver car make a line along the road. To make sure again, I asked the driver "Ke Anyer Hotel Mambruk ya, Bang?" (To Anyer, Hotel Mambruk, isn't it?)
"Iya neng, Iya" (Yes, Miss. Yes)
I got in it and just sat down with many passengers in front of me the natives. They talk in Sundanese language but some of them speak Bahasa with sundanese accent.
This part is the longest trip by car. Because it goes to the road which has many holes and passes with many big cars such busses or trucks. All the road just dry sand and goes like smoke will make you coughing. Dont take it serious, if you arrived to the beach, you will see blue sea with calm waves, fresh air, village, and kinda silent place.
It took for about 1,5 hours from Simpang to Mambruk Hotel, Anyer. Place where I have duty and stay there for 3 days. Actually there are many hotels there because the beach is quite well-known by people to spend holiday at beach. Here are the fare of the car :
Simpang - Pasar Anyer Rp5.000,-
Simpang - Hotel Marbella (Anyer Beach) Rp10.000,-
Simpang - Pantai Carita Rp15.000,-
Simpang - Labuan Rp20.000,-
So I paid Rp. 10.000,-
Finally, lets count how much I pad for the fare..
Ciputat - Kp. Rambutan Rp. 3.000,-
Kp. Rambutan - Merak Rp. 23.000,-
Merak - Simpang Tiga Rp. 6.000,-
Simpang Tiga - Mambruk (Anyer) Rp. 10.000,-
Total : Rp. 52.000,- !!
But yeah, it was pretty hilarious experience I've ever done. It'd be easier and probably cheaper and more comfortable to use private car. But I liked to take trip by public transportation. The reasons are I was alone, and I cant drive a car :D
So thankyou so much for reading my experience of my trip to Anyer. I know it is boring for you. But this is the way I write maybe would help anybody who wants take a trip by public transportation too. I will post another thread which uploaded many photos in Anyer and my social activities there. Was excited because I met many people from education department, and I was the youngest! lol yeah.
Whoop! See you soon..... mwack! xx
