And Now,  Sunday,  29th of November 2015.  At 06:33 p.m in the morning, I with My friends (Abdul Halim, Efif, Yusuf Sunandar, Diki, Aden, Ika nurfitria, Ari rahmawati, Mhita Saputra,  Nuria,  Ayu Lestari,  Nunu and her sister) would  do a great trip to Kawah Ratu  in GSE  (Gunung Salak  Endah) Bogor. We never have experience of climb. This is our the first trip to  kawah ratu. Without guided by guide.

This Morning, we had  been together in the mhita’s house.  Kp.Sindang Pala Rt 01/04 Cibening  Pamijahan Bogor. And  Mhita is our kind friend. We would go to GSE by Angkot Car. The pace’s friends very look happy same as me. I felt happy and can’t wait to  begin climb to Kawah ratu.

At  07:26 p.m we arrived in front of  the gate climb, wahhh.... this morning I felt different morning. The dew dripping and mist still blanketing morning, fresh air calm felling and my mind. “ brrr.... So cool, calm my mind, like there’s no place the more fun  than this place. I Like this place, I love it.” I said in my heart, and smile.

Before climb, we would be check at the entrance.   At the time, I wrote process of registration, The paper written of name.

 I asked to my friends. “ Guys, what the name will we use for write the paper?”

Yusuf  answered  “ please write use name English education department”

 I said  “Ok”

And then I  read an address in the paper. Because I don’t know an address that would  I wrote. So, I asked again with my friends.

“Heyy.... What’s the address that will write?”

Aden Answered . “Write Pasar Ahad ”

I answered “ ohh Okay”

After I wrote,  we  managed the cost of ticket entry in.

Eiittzzz  before we begin the climb, we  prayed together to God the creator of nature by our leader,  he is Yusuf.  We prayed, wishes smooth trip,  far  from danger or jeopardy, the more gave be grateful by God when we saw the beautifull place, and we hope all could go home with  good without left one persone.

And finally yeahhhhhhhh ......

We could begine our trip and our climb.

“Come on guys” Said Diki shoat spirit

“Let’s go “ we all answered and walked follow Diki

“Oh my God, I am climbing” I don’t belief,  I stop walked, I saw all green in my around,  I was very  amazed. Because my childhood never saw this, My childhood live in Bekasi. So, I never felt very cool like this morning. And I am not a climb. Subhanallah seem if I have peaking of Kawah Ratu. I will  shout “heyyy... I was up” hahaha

Climbing  long  -+5 km with the track which very  difficult.  Two thirds from the trip by way of the river, so we must  brave cloth wrapped. And also the mud land and the mud  sulphur. Throught this lines, we walked  a footstep and the rocks. All trip felt damp and slippery,  maybe because the foggy lastnight and  the river water flowing. This walkways increasingly  uphill and must be careful.  But, we get the enjoy green trees, fresh air, and splash water from small rivers that accompanies all the way.  Once every  hour, we rested because we afraid with our condition the first time climbing

Still far away ? said me

Yusuf Answered “No, an hour again” 

They laught, because not an hour again, but three hours again.

On the way, we still by way of the walkway. The wishes there are big way paved, hehehe . . . we back walked form a line be carefully.

“wait, The leader must  gentelman, so please ladies in the middle”  Said Aden

And then Diki become a leader our climb.  But,  Diki  walked very fast, we left.

Halim shouted  “ Diki... please don’t walked very quickly, slow  down.”

But Diki doesn’t hear.  He  walked very quickly with Ika, Ari, Nuria and Ayu. So, we must hasten our  walked  for follow them.  After walking about two hours, we arrived in the forest.

After we arrived in the forest, we get the drying trees plus a small flow of sulphar river make the almosphere a bit mystical from the forest of death, it takes about one hour to reach the KAWAH RATU. Getting close the KAWAH RATU, sulfur smoke billowing above definitely look sincreasingly accompanied by the smell of growing intense. Because we won’t  overlook the beautiful place, so we must take fictures together

“Yah,, Rain ..” said nunu

“ we must continue our climb, let’s go” shouted yusuf

The rain dampen our body,  everybody walked very fast.  But Efif as photografer, ika and me keep selfy  in every step for take beautiful pictures, Hehe... because we exceedingly take pictures very much, we left by friends.  They had far and finally, Efif, ika and me follow them. But this so far, we don’t see  their step or  traces of climbers other.

“Haduhh... this way true or  false? We don’t see our friends or climbers other anywhere”  said Ika.

I answred “ keep walk, we’ll find them”

“ we misguided” Efif Said

Hear the word that we lost, I felt afraid, and we walked back  before. 

“Look.... there are climbers other” shoted Ika

“ come on guys, we must follow them” answered me,

We run follow them, and  apparently our mistake are not see  a sign of the arrow for turn right,  we wlked  straight without saw left and right.  Alhamdulillah we still  given  indication. Thanks my god, thanks Allah.

         

Finally, after we till in peak of  KAWAH RATU with  to hight 1500 m from  the surface of the sea, we  find our friends and we find natural wonderful view and very beautiful. But  the beauty of all trip exotic and mystical of KAWAH RATU , answered already exhausted that we feld before. This is the perfect place to enjoy nature. Leisure to natural attraction.

           

There we  search a place  rest, there are sitting, there are take pictures or selfie, there are also cooking water on crater and his name is Aden.  I  think  the water for what,  apparently the water for cooked some noodles. Oh my God ... He is very creative, and I not think there, hehe.  After the water ccoked, we ate a plate of  noodles together. Apparently yummy, the noodles made Aden. Hehe...

         

The rain again, the wind so quick, mist and  smoke of kawah ratu make me can not see. Our trip  not finished, we have to walked  go  home. The rain  dampen our body  again, the wind make us felt very cold and many mist make us must walked  bow. We very afraid, with the slippery, we fast walked and be carefully. On the way, we saw a write in memorian, that is the tombostone, Oh my God, I was very afraid and I pray to my God for the best.

The finally, the rain subsides. We had   by way of  crater and forest.  And we arrived in green grass, we all sat down to rest, remove soreness and tired.

This is the trip remarkable and very amazing hat is not easily forgotten.

Our  togetherness during climbing really  mean . we soluble  in prayer and thanks God.

 After that, we all go home to Aden’s house for rest.
