#summerdestinations Cafe hopping in summer holiday in Jayapura, I spent my time at this Yasbeer Cafe & Restaurant for sunset view. I am quite shocked that this cafe & restaurant is so pretty and beyond my expectation. What a thrill! It is not hard to get here, you can just ride a motorbike or drive a car for 20-30 minutes from the central of city. The price is so affordable for such a pretty cafe 🤩 The menu that you should try is Ikan Mujair, as this is the best fish in Jayapura. Ikan Mujair is well known as the iconic best fish in Danau Sentani which located in the same city Jayapura. The ambiance is warm and relaxing especially during sunset time. They have both indoor and outdoor area with beach sand surrounded. The staffs there are so friendly and polite, they will never let you down if it's come to hospitality 🥰 This is really suitable for family time, group gathering, celebrate party or anything that makes it comfortable!

#seascapes I was quite surprised by this Papua's beach as this Province of Indonesia is well known as its best mining. The moment I arrived at the Base-G beach, I first saw a clear blue sea water and white beach sand which has soft texture. I mean this is my bestest beach I have ever been to 😍 This beach is located at the northern of Jayapura city and easy to access. You could only ride a motorbike or drive a car to get there which only takes about 30-45 minutes from the central of the city. I strongly recommend you to visit this beach if you happened to stay at Jayapura city. 📍 Base-G beach, Jayapura, Indonesia #indonesia #beach #100WaysofTravel

#newyearnewtrip Danau Sentani is a large lake located in the Jayapura Regency of Papua, Indonesia. It is the largest lake in Papua and plays a significant cultural and ecological role in the region. The lake is surrounded by lush forests and mountains, and it is home to several indigenous communities. These communities rely on the lake for fishing and transportation, and the lake’s waters are rich in biodiversity. Danau Sentani is also known for its scenic beauty and attracts both tourists and researchers. The lake has a unique mix of freshwater and brackish waters, which supports a variety of fish species. The surrounding area is culturally significant, with traditional villages and ceremonies held by the local tribes. Visitors often explore the lake by boat or visit nearby attractions such as the Sentani Cultural Festival and the nearby Cyclops Mountains. The lake’s ecosystem, however, is facing threats from environmental pressures, including pollution and the impacts of human activities, which have raised concerns about its preservation. If you happened to visit Jayapura, Sentani Lake is one of the top notch visiting list. #lakes #nature #trip #indonesia

The plane landed on the shore of Sentani Lake, the same small airport, the same simple street, using the same method of "shared minibus" to the only IZY House, a big house that can be booked online, much warmer than imagined. There is a row of cabins in the yard. The manager is a little girl in her early 20s. Although English is not good, she is very polite. I put things into the reserved single room and asked her to go to the Sentani Lake. The way, then she found a motorcycle for me, the price of 1 hour 50,000 is not cheap, but it is also the only choice. I accidentally hit an abandoned Yier-16 transport plane next to the airport. Now it has become a playground for local residents. The children climbed in and out of the plane and looked at me curiously. Foreigners coming to the motorcycle. Then I parked the motorcycle, played with the locals, and slowly became familiar with a child, then he pointed to my motorcycle and then set me to his village. I saw more happy children and visited a very original vegetable market. I think that such unknown happiness may be the most wonderful moment in the trip.
