Dreaming A Dream

June 2009,

7 Top White Beaches 

1. Pulau Sikuai, Sumatera Barat
2. Tanjung Aan, Lombok, NTB
3. Pantai Nusa Dua, Bali
4. Pantai Batu Karas, Jawa Barat
5. Pantai Bintan Utara, Kepulauan Riau
6. Pantai Sundak, Yogyakarta
7. Pantai Lampuuk, Aceh

... so was Tamasya Magazine's version. I still don't know why, among all the seven beaches Tamasya described, I fell in love with Tanjung Aan, and was determined to go there ever since. The description itself was brief. There were 2 medium size photos. The first one had a grayish cloudy sky, although the half circle seashore was magnificent. The second one had a cyan sky which to me looked rather unnatural. In short, I wasn't tempted by the photos.

I started to search on how to get to Lombok. No Air Asia, unfortunately. Garuda Indonesia? Wow! Definitely can't afford that. Merpati? That's still pricey for me... except for the promotion fare.

Someone from Tamasyaclub mailing list told me that the only closest hotel to Tanjung Aan is Novotel Hotel. Wow! That's another pricey thing.
