Riding Gondola in the Middle of The Sea

Since the route to reach Pantai Timang / Timang Beach is long and fully off-roading, so that in order to arrive at this beach and going back, we need to ride a jeep. A jeep including a professional driver costs IDR 350,000. One jeep can be ridden by four person. It was a great experience and one of my favorite challenging activity. We have to try it during youth!

Riding gondola experience in the middle of the sea from Gondola Timang Beach. A traditional cable car that is driven on the rope, pulled manually by the local people. Riding gondola costs IDR 150,000 per person. The gondola connects Timang Beach to Panjang Island, and the other way. The length is for about 200 meter. Panjang Island is well-known as the best place for lobster hunting by the local fishermen.

Most of the visitor here are Malaysian and Singaporean. It was a great experience! I love the sea and wave, also the politeness from the local people.

Hi @Velvel ,

Wow that looks so much fun! I have never heard of anything like that, but I would definitely try this! Was it scary to cross the sea? Is this your first time experiencing the ride or have you tried it before?

Hi @DanniS yeah, you have to try this if you come to Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Actually, this was my first time trying this kind of gondola and that was not scary at all. It was fun and safe. When riding gondola, I really love the cool air and the sound of the sea.

Hi @ReemaGandhi that time when I came here, the weather was friendly. It was sunny, but not too hot, and of course it was windy.

哇,这次玩儿真有意思, @Velvel !你们坐这个缆车,不太确定Gondola是怎么翻译的,会不会累?这个缆车是自动的还是你们要骑?

你说🉐对,年轻的时候要多感受各种经验,不要怕什么,就要勇敢得去发现美丽的世界。

@TsekoV 好玩儿极了! 如果你来Yogyakarta,你一定要去这儿。Gondola我们也可以说"缆车"。这儿的缆车当然跟普通的像在中国的缆车不一样。这儿的很特别 :smile:

坐缆车不会累。大概只有2-3分种坐的,我们就到了。这个缆车我们不用自己骑的。那边儿的人们会用又大又长的绳子啦这个缆车。

@Velvel ,我从来没有坐过这种缆车,肯定是特别的!

你觉得来印尼Yogyakarta是必须要见到的寺庙,是吧?这离Bali岛算很远吗?如果安排两个星期时间会不会足够的?

@TsekoV Yogyakarta有很多寺庙。最有名像Borobudur和Prambanan你肯定要去看一看。又巨大又精彩! Yogyakarta的生活费也算很便宜哦 。

Yogyakarta离Bali岛不那么远,694公里左右。你可以坐巴士,但坐飞机会比较快。 哦,两个星期算够多了。你会觉得很满意! 可以去好多好多的地方。

@Velvel , 这是第一次我听到Prambanan!我之前在网上看过这个寺庙,但从来没有多关注。你都去过这些寺庙吗?

我朋友说Bali岛附近也有一个火山🌋可以去登。你知道吗?

@TsekoV Prambanan和Bali岛的火山我都没去过。

我也很想去Prambanan. 漂亮极了! 听说如果一双对象一起去Prambanan, 他们以后会分手 :open_mouth:。但我还不决定这个对不对。那时我们没去因为跟一双对象一起去的 :joy:

@Velvel , 哇!当地人也信这个吗?有任何原因吗?也许之前有过很多对象在那边分手的?:smiley:

无论怎么样我真想去了解这个地方。

@TsekoV 那。。我还不知道当地人想不相信这件事。

对,你一定要去。改天如果我不跟对象或不跟带对象的朋友,我一定要去 :smiley:
