Such beautiful scenery that makes dozens of people who are still in the dock the Port Waha-most travelers from Jakarta to lazy to leave home. They want to watch the seconds way back towards the horizon the sun.
It was a perfect evening. The sun appeared naked without strands of clouds that covered it. When the sun completely disappeared, people enjoy the traces of a red tinge in the sky blackened.
Romantic atmosphere that lasted about 30 minutes. After that, switch during the night. And, like the sun, the moon at night was perfect: round and red. That night was the night the 15 th in the dating system by month. The period when the full moon falls and distribute light.
In almost every night Tomea darkness because electricity is often dead, the moon is a light entertainment. At least, people do not need to use a torch when it passes through the dark streets.
That piece of the atmosphere in Tomea, a small group of islands that make up the Wakatobi-kependekatan of Wangi-Wangi Island, Kaledupa, Tomea, and Binongko-entering the region of Southeast Sulawesi province.
Districts designated as a national park was famous as a paradise dive sites in addition to Bunaken, North Sulawesi, and Raja Ampat, Papua. In the waters of national parks, according to dephut.go.id site, there are 25 clusters of coral reefs, 112 coral species from 13 families and 93 species of fish.
However, the beauty of Wakatobi not only exist in the water, but also on the mainland. One of them is in the village of Bukit Tomea Kahyanga, Tomea Island. Top of the hill is a vast green savanna. "In the dry season, savanna is reddish brown," said Saharuddin, Tomea population.
At the peak of Mount Tomea, we can also find fossilized giant clams and the cluster of rocks strewn everywhere. Chances are, the top of this hill was once the seabed.
We sat on a rock looking at the fossil Flores Sea is colored dark blue. From there, we enjoyed the sunset while enjoying a romantic nan kasuami parende and fried fish, typical meals at Wakatobi.
Kasuami is then steamed grated cassava. This is in addition to food staples of rice Wakatobi.
When it grew dark, we returned to the inn and spend the night in a quiet Tomea. Sound waves and the wind sounded like an orchestra vague nature.
Dolphins
How to reach Tomea? Plane from Jakarta to Makassar and continue the flight to the island of Wangi-Wangi, the capital of Wakatobi. At Wangi-Wangi, we must stay one day at a hotel or inn to wait for the ship quickly to Tomea next day.
The ship departed at 10:00 from the port in Wanci in the middle of Bajau tribe settlements. Tickets priced at Rp 100,000.
The journey lasted two-three hours of wading Banda Sea. If lucky, you'll find a flock of dolphins playing in the sea. In certain seasons, in fact, you could see the whales.
The ship arrived in Port Usuku at midday. Sometimes, the ship docked in the Port of Waha. At the port, the group pengojek and taxi drivers (public transportation) to welcome us. In addition, there are some women who offer distinctive woven fabric is light colored Tomea.
From the harbor, we went straight to the beach in the village Teetimu Kulati. It's clean white sandy beaches hidden between the valleys of the cliff. The atmosphere was rather quiet. There are only children who swim at the beach was quiet choppy and some fishermen who are looking for reef fish and clams.
They say the sea was a giant refrigerator. If they are hungry, they stayed away to the sea for menyomot some animals on the beach and ate them right then and there.
"Here's how to eat it," said a boy pulling a clam meat from shells. Then squeeze them and eat them raw. We tried it. It turned out nice too ....
Around the Village Kulati, there are several other beaches are no less beautiful. Waving palm trees, pure white sand, coral brown, blue sea toska, and the wind that feels fresh on us when it got there.
