Traveling with friends are the things you can't do everyday. Cause you are had busy time like working schedule, family, and your personal life.

Along getting older, hangout with friends are the rare things. So if you have time to do that, do it! Before your time with your friends disappear.

That's why I and my friends doing vacation. That day was our first vacation after know each other. We took a One Day Trip to the Seribu island. Seribu means Thousand in Bahasa). We have no many time so we do one day trip in sunday cause we have to work tomorrow.

The first island we visited was Kelor Island, which I knew earlier from TV because it was used as the wedding venue for Rio Dewanto and Atiqah Hasiholan, Indonesian actors at the back then. Since then I interested with this island, and when I arrived in Jakarta in 2016, I visit Kelor Island as my first destination.

And I never get bored if that about Kelor Island.

I and my friends, they are @devyswan1 and @tinaagustina set our schedule to do holiday together. At that time, there's no Coronavirus, so we freely to go everywhere.

It's taking about 30 minutes from Muara Kamal Harbor. I and devy go together by busway. We went at 05.00 am, cause our home far from Muara Kamal Harbor so we prepare ourselves early morning. Tina was bad about wake up early and she's kinda late. Tina miss the first boat. Fortunately, there's 2 boat that's leaves, so Tina overtake by second boat.

Finally I can see for myself how beautiful this island known as Kerkhof Island is.

Among the many islands in the Seribu Island cluster, Kelor Island is a very small island, only covering an area of ​​28 hectares. This island is known as an island that holds a lot of history during the Dutch colonial era where this island was used as a tomb for warriors who rebelled during the Dutch colonialism.

Martelo Fort, one of the historical relics that has become an icon of the island of Kelor. This 360 degree circular fort was built by the VOC in the 17th century and still stands firmly today. The red bricks that are the raw material for this fort look good and amazing even though they were hit by a tsunami caused by the eruption of Mount Krakatau in 1883 year.

When you arrived in Kelor Island, you will be treated by super extraordinarily beautiful beach. The sand is pure white and the water is very, very blue. Many beautiful coral reefs are scattered around the coast. The manager seems to really take care of the cleanliness and beauty of this island. No wonder this place is often used as a prewed photo shoot location for many millennials.

Even though Kelor Island is a former tomb of warriors, I don't feel any mystical atmosphere. In fact, I really enjoy playing there, not like onrust island where the mystical atmosphere is 'a bit' strong.
