2nd
March 2014
Hi Tiara,
How are things? I’m very glad to read yourlast
letter telling me that you spent your holiday in Manado.
Now I would like to tell you about my holiday too.
It was an exciting holiday. I spent the holiday
with my family. We went to Raja Ampat, Puncak Jaya
and Jayapura. We chose those places since the climate
and the tourist spots are much different from the others.
In Raja Ampat, the climate is hot and muggy
because it is on the coast. Completely different with
Raja Ampat, Puncak Jaya has cold climate. It is the
highest volcano in Indonesia and its peak is covered with
ice. While in Jayapura, the climate is between the two.
For the tourist objects, Puncak Jaya and
Jayapura have fewer interesting places to attract tourists
compared to Raja Ampat. We visited many beautiful
places like volcanoes, museum, holiday resort etc. We
took flight to Sorong from Jayapura and rented a boat
from Sorong to Raja Ampat. This place is gorgeous.
There are four beautiful islands with untouched white
sand beaches. We enjoyed snorkeling in the striking
colors of near shore pristine nautical habitat, diving into
exotic reefs, sailing and fishing among surreal limestone
cliffs, exploring pearls of paradise archipelagos and of
course took pictures of various breathtaking scenes,both
above and underwater.
I hope we can visit them togetheron our next
holiday.
Miss you much
Aida
