| KEDISAN - GETTING AWAY |
|
|
| |
For the lake trip, buy your tickets at the fixed-price ticket
office in Kedisan, near where the motorized kapal bot leave.
There are 82 boats in all. Standard price is Rp35,000 (maximum
seven people) for a two-hour tour of Trunyan, the hot springs
and back to Kedisan. It's slightly cheaper if you just go to
Trunyan and back (20-minute passage each way). This ferry is
only 500 meters from the Segara Homestay. If you like crowds,
Sunday is the best day. Beware of scalpers and independents
who try to con you into paying several times the official price.
Lying through their teeth, they'll tell you anything-that they're
cheaper, that the government boats no longer operate, and so
forth. They're also inclined to renegotiating the price halfway
across the lake or once they have you captive in Trunyan.
A self-propelled dugout canoe is probably not a viable alternative,
even though it's much cheaper at Rp10,000, unless you're prepared
to paddle a hell of a long way across water that could get very
rough should the wind come up. Don't try to paddle across unless
you're very strong and race kayaks for a living. No matter what
kind of boat you take or no matter when you leave, take jeans
and a jumper or freeze your ass off.
Yet another alternative involves no boat across to Trunyan-walk
it. Take a bemo (Rp500) or ride your motorbike from Penelokan
to Buahan; from there it's about a one-hour (seven-km) hike
along the well-maintained lakeshore path to Trunyan. A longer
hike runs from Kedisan north to Toya Mempeh, looping around
southeast to Songan, then back to Kedisan via Toya Bungkah.
