This is my umpteenth trip to Pulo Aceh. Every time a friend invites me to go there, I feel hypnotized so I can't refuse at all. Just like a few days ago, during the long year-end holiday. Without thinking, I said yes to the invitation, and the next day, Friday, December 27, I was already on a passenger boat that pulled anchor at 2:30 PM.
After more than two hours at sea, I arrived at Breuh Island, the largest island in the group of islands that are part of the administrative area of Pulo Aceh District. This area is one of the districts in Aceh Besar Regency, located at the tip of Sumatra Island, a close neighbor of Banda Aceh City.

The boat I was on docked at the small port of Seurapong, and I found that this place that I never get tired of visiting hadn't changed much from the last time I visited. The coffee shop at the port was still manned by the same people. The smiles of the people were still there because of the friendliness that was not fake, except from genuine sincerity.
From there, after shopping for some necessities, I headed to Lambaro Beach, where I would be staying for the next few days. So this is where I was for the last two days of New Year. Walking around, grilling fish, lazing around, waking up late and then jumping into the sea, waiting for the sunset were days that felt fun, and unfortunately, I had to go back to my work routine yesterday afternoon.
So that you guys are jealous of my end of year and New Year celebrations yesterday, here I post some photos.

Another view in Pulo Aceh, Rinon is the name of the village
This is William Torrent lighthouse, was built around 1875 by the Dutch colonial, located in Meulingge Village--next, I will write specifically about this place.

The atmosphere of Seurapong in the afternoon, a village with a dock--across from there is Nasi Island, one of the islands that are no less exotic in the Pulo Aceh area.
Small activities at Seurapong dock
Fishing boats--it is from their voyages that Tuna fish is exported so you can eat sushi.

And this is a bonus.😆 Warm greetings to all of you, guys. Wassalamu...
