It began in September 2019 when I with 3 of my friends (Sitorus, Jazuli, and ferdiyan) suddenly traveled to Lampung, one of provinces in Indonesia which is located in the western island of the country. A day before, we were talking through online media chatting application about releasing our stress by having some vacations. Sitorus proposed his taught to visit Lampung since the island provide some tourism destinations. Lampung also is well known by its beaches along with the mountainous places stretching along its coastal area yet the most interesting place that we wanted to visit was Kiluan Bay. Then, we all agreed with his suggestion. On the the day we had decided, we were riding our motorcycles from Serang, a city located in Banten Province, Indonesia, to Merak Port in order to get on the ferry boat to cross the ocean to Lampung. During the journey we worried about many things because we have no idea about the destination that we were heading of. However, we still enjoyed our long journey to the Lampung by throwing some jokes to one and another. At the midday, we finally arrived at the Lampung port. Luckily, we met a local people from lampung that gave a hand to us. His name is Ryan. He is a teacher in one of Junior High School in Lampung. He is a kind person although most of Indonesian citizens are very friendly. The man asked us about our plan in Lampung. Ferdiyan replied the man instantly by saying “having fun in Kiluan bay”. Hearing that from my friend, Ryan told us to follow him to his village because the bay is near his house. Lampung weather was quite hot at that time compared to other places in Sumatra Island which the city based on according to the weather application on my smartphone. We were riding the motorcycles approximately for 3 hours following Ryan’s vehicle.Eventually we made it to Ryan’s village, a very calm village which is located near the sea and under the mountainous areas. The village dwellers are so kind to us as well which resembled with what Ryan did to us. After having lunch together, we spent the night with ryan and his family in his home. We were talking randomly ranging from culture to private matters until late night. We found how warm they looked after us while we were in journey far from our home. They gave us a suitable room for rest, a delicious food to eat, and a family to home. The day after, they took us to the bay by walking together because the place is near enough to access. The bay looked so astonishing with the beautiful scenery. We spent whole day in the bay by doing some fun activities like picnic, where we enjoy the fresh fish that we caught, swimming and snorkeling. That was an unforgettable moment that I ever see in my life when having a vacation suddenly and making friend with stranger instantly.
