On Sunday or Saturday, I used to go to the office as I don't know what else to do or where to go here in Manokwari, as my friends are limited to my colleagues at the office. But finally I met lot of new friends and the funny things is, I got to know my new friends in Manokwari through an email address given by my friend who currently living in other city in Papua. From one new friend, now expanded into one community group that usually gathered on the weekend and go from one beautiful place into another beautiful place. I feel so lucky that finally I could explore so many beautiful places which I don't think I will know the place if I go without them.

Last Saturday they asked me to join them exploring the mountainous area in Manokwari and to go there it needs considerably long hour-ride. So they pick me at 3 a.m and then touring the outskirts areas of Manokwari, from waiting sun rises at Warkapi, having breakfast at Oransbari village and still at Oransbari, we stopped at a small village caused we saw many lotus flower in a pond just on the side of the road and ended at Neney village to see the waterfall.
They didn't tell me that it took est. 1 hour walk to reach the waterfall, with the path is over looking the beautiful mountainous areas. Although it's very tiring walk, but when I saw the waterfall, all my tiredness gone! The water a bit cold but so refreshing....
During the walk to waterfall, I saw so many beautiful butterflies and many other creatures, including a blue bee! It is my first time saw a blue bee :D
After spending a few hour at the waterfall we decided to heading back to Manokwari. The rain started to fall when we walk back to where we park the car, which is another one hour walk :)
On the way back to Manokwari, the rain stopped and left the clear blue sky with moon hanging on the sky. We dediced to take a break and capturing the moon (actually I forced them to stop, so I could take a picture of the moon hehe...they were so kind, so they couldn't say no to my request....).
Finally, I get home at 8pm. It is a tiring day yet I am grateful to see many beautiful places at the remote areas of Manokwari. Hopefully they still want me to join them in their next trip exploring Manokwari...
