Our Trip to Cilegon

Last Wednesday (28/09/16) was very exciting! Because we had a trip to Cilegon. Where is Cilegon? Cilegon is a city in Banten. There, we visited Mrs. Moi’s house. We also went to a harbor, which was called Merak (Merak means peacock in Indonesia). Cilegon is very close to the ocean, so the breeze is really fresh there.

The day before, mom told us (Me and my brothers) to wake up early. Since we were going to somewhere far away. So I woke up at 5, took a shower, ate breakfast, get the bags ready, and went inside the car. There was a total of 9 people in the car, so it wasn’t really comfortable. We didn’t go directly to Mrs. Moi’s house. Our first meeting point is at Green Pramuka Apartment. We met about 5 other families, who were also going to Cilegon. And so we used a position tracking app, to see where everybody is.

We reached Mrs. Moi’s house about an hour after. Our group, was there first. But since there were also other families, we can’t go to the harbor right away. After waiting for a few minutes, i get to play with my friends. We explored the neighborhood there. It was quiet, but interesting. When we got inside the house again, there were much more people there. We were also told that everybody is here, so we can go to the harbor. We had to ride the car, but I didn’t ride the same car as before. I went there with Syifa, riding Syifa’s car. Inside the car there were also Hanin, Kayyisha, and Kiran.

When we reached Merak harbor, we met a guide who guided us around the harbor. We first saw a ship that was being loaded with cars and trucks. I was almost speechless, since the trucks loaded there were very large. I saw more than 10 trucks went inside. There was actually a schedule there. It wasn’t about how full the ship was. It was about time, a new ship comes and goes every one hour. After the ship we saw went away, another ship came right away. We went inside this ship.

When we were inside the ship, the guide explained about what we can do when there is an emergency. He showed us where the life-jacket was. He also said that the light on the life-jacket was for rescuing people when it’s dark. We finished the tour with a thank-you to the guides. When we got back to the previous place (Parking Lot) we opened a large mat and had a picnic-lunch there. After that’s done, we went to our homes.
