Bantimurung, get rid off your bad luck







During our stay in Makassar, we had a chance to go to Bantimurung. It is said that Bantimurung (like it is named) is a place where you get rid off all your bad luck or sadness. So people come to Bantimurung have to swim in the waterfall so by the time the leave Bantimurung, all the sadness and bad luck are washed away. I did not swim in Bantimurung though.
We just visited a cave, very big and dark. There are also a lot of butterflies in Bantimurung.

Wakatobi Underwater








It seemed not complete if you go to Wakatobi but do not go for diving. It is said that Wakatobi is the center of coral triangle, where there are 750 species out 850 coral species in the world.
So as soon as we arrived at Wakatobi, we were on the go to the diving spot. we got 1 diving that afternoon and continued with the whole day diving in the next day. It was really fun and the underwater world in Wakatobi is amazing. it is just like you are in a jungle, corals are so healthy. We found a lot of sea creatures. Visibility was very clear but current was quite strong. We will be back to Wakatobi someday, because we have to see all the other 3 islands: Kaledupa, Tomia and Binongko.
Here are some Wakatobi underwater pictures.
