Summary | I thought to go somewhere I have never been yet. However I knew the Weh Island, I have few imformation about the island. I checked imformations of diving centers, and found out several ones. And then I decided to go there. |
Itinerary | Weh Island is located north of the Sumatera Island. We need to take a ferry from Banda Aceh where is norther most tip of the Sumatera Island to the Weh Island. I chose Kuala Lumpur some of the layovers with the Air Asia. One night in each Kuala Lupur and Banda Aceh, diving for 3 days. Staying nowhere on the way back, killing time for 4 hours in the Kuala Lumpur Airport. |
Kuala Lumpur |
I usually use the Tune Hotel KLIA Aeropolis when it needs to stay one night
in Kuala Lumpur. I stayed in KL Central in this time, as I was able to go around in the morning. It was very cheap for MRY30 round trip between the airport and city center. |
I was wandering from the KL Central to North, and then near the Masjid
Jamek. I thought to go inside because for the first time in a while, but it was closed as friday. |
Banda Aceh | I went around the big mosque and the park near by. I had problems of booking hotel in a row with Agoda. Customer service by Agoda was getting worse than before. |
Weh Island |
Though I planned to take a ferry at 12:00, when I got to the port around
11:00 speed boat not departed. So I was able to go 3rd dive in arriving day. |

Huge numbers of damselfishes everywhere, and many scopionfishes, smell of sulfur on oversea at the Hot Spring site. |
Way Home |
There were many people on the way back to the port, they arranged taxis
for IDR75K a person. We departed 6:30 AM and arrived the port at 7:30, but speed boat at 8:00 was sold out. I got a big ferry it took two hours to Banda Aceh, actually it was even better than getting earlier. After arriving the port, I had lunch and headed to the airport. It seemed to held a domestic sport event in Banda Aceh, it was crowded in the airport with tracksuit people. I spent several hours in the Kuala Lumpur Airport, and arrived in Kansai Airport next morning. |
Kuala Lumpur Airport |
We are able to enter and exit at automatic gates just scanning a passport
in the Kuala Lumpur Airport, about 20 counties including Japan by application of website beforehand. |
