Catching sun rises in Manokwari

Got invitation from some friends here in Manokwari, if I want to join them hunting for sunrise. Despite my laziness of getting up early, who could refuse the offer when they said they will pick me up at home (they certainly knows that I couldn't get ojek/motorbike taxi at 4.30am). Sadly today they texted me again to see sunrise from another place, but apparently I was still enjoying my dream, so I didn't hear them until I got up at 6am :D

So here are some of the picture that I managed to capture the last 2 days becoming an early riser, at Abasi beach and Aipiri beach, Manokwari.

Holiday destination - where do you want to go?

“Are you a beach or mountain person?”

Have you ever been asked this kind of question? I do....many times... :D Particularly when discussing with friends for the places that we'd like to visit.

Well..it’s hard for me to categorize myself as one of it. I like to go to the beach and I also enjoy to go to mountain. Each place has its different charm.  I love to see trees, greenery, blue sky and clear mountain air. I love warm white sand or cold black sand, the horizon, the color of the sea, the wave and the hot sun. I couldn’t decide which one I like best.

 

So....which one is interest you the most? the beach or the mountain?
