Another experience that truly surprises us is how many funeral ceremonies and bike accidents that we bump into. We learned that Nias people love boars as we can see along the drive. Yenty, specifically, is very excited at how many boars she can see. Despite the pitiness and excitements toward the boars, we love to test one, but we don't have the chance.
When we arrive we visited the traditional houses and the famous stone. Taking some pictures and learning a bit of their culture make our long trip paid off.
Heading to beaches, finally! But we are quite disappointed to see how wasted the beautiful beach is. It has beautiful waves, I'm so sure people will come for surfing IF they provide good accommodations, transportations, facilities and service. We won't waste the time there with complaints, though. Got some beautiful pictures there.
Crabs' finger feet... :)Talking about accidents, we too experience one. During our late drive back to the city and glorious chat between the driver (Ko Joni, have I mention?) and Alvin, one motorbike from back tries to cut our lane, unfortunately there is a fast motorbike coming towards us from another lane. When three of us reach the same spot, the biker who tries to cut us loses his balance and is thrown in front of us. He is under our van for seconds until Ko Joni presses the brake. We can see the fire sparkles when the biker is under us. Luckily he can go out and stand up when people from nowhere come to see the incident. We are scared to be beaten up by them. Smartly Ko Joni explains shortly, goes back to van and drives away. If he doesn't do it, I don't think I will have this chance to write about the accident. What an experience huh?
