It was a four-day trip, and a lot happened during those few days.
On the first day, when I was flying to Padang, my plane entered a thundercloud. I was so nervous because I kept thinking about what would happen if lightning struck the plane. Inside the thundercloud, I saw something I had never seen before.
After arriving on the island, I met my guide, whose name was James. He is a local resident there. After he took me to my resort and I put down my luggage, we started my first journey.
Our first destination was Hoping Island. We took a boat and arrived at two islands. I tried snorkeling there. The underwater view was so beautiful, and the sunset on the horizon was amazing.
On the second day, we went to the southern part of the island. There were some resorts still under construction, but the scenery there was much more beautiful than in the northern part of the island.
On the third day, my last activity was surfing. It was the most exciting activity of the trip. I am good at skiing and skateboarding, so I thought I would be able to handle this sport too. However, I was hungry at that moment, and my body was trembling, so I didn’t surf for very long and went back for lunch.
In the afternoon, I was supposed to arrive at the port at 2:30 PM, but I lost track of time, and then heavy rain started. In the end, I chose to run through the rain to catch the last boat. James and I were in the rain for about ten minutes. I could hardly even open my eyes in the heavy rain. Fortunately, luck was on my side, and I caught the last boat.
