It was a sunny day and looked promising. With all our equipments and food, we departed from the Navy base in Muara using army long boats. It was a rather exciting experience for me since it was an opportunity of a lifetime and that I have never ever been to Pelumpong island before. The journey did not take long, and we eventually reached the island. The beach is clean, the water greenish blue and the air fresh.
We unloaded our equipments, then started to set up camp, bbq area and so on. The afternoon was spent with doing group activities (Thank goodness, no swimming this time, haha), mingling and eating. We stayed until 7pm, before heading back to the base. It started raining on our way back to base and no one was spared from getting wet haha. The last day was bittersweet with everyone promising to keep in touch and a possibility of a reunion in the new future. I am rather sad to see the course ends as I have been enjoying the course and everyone's company for the past 2 weeks.
