Ujung Kulon National Park

It was on August 10, 11 and 12, 2007 we went to Ujung Kulon National Park. It took us 5 hours from Marina Carita to Ujung Kulon. Ujung Kulon National Park is the home of the Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) or one-horned rhinoceros. On the way, the sea was inhospitable even though the weather was great. We stay, eat and sleep on board Stella just on the straits of Peucang Island. On one evening we just came back from Karang Copong by foot and we stopped by a big tree and took the picture there. The tree is so big we can not see the left or right side of it on the picture. It was so dark and we could see the eyes of deers and boars. The Peucang Island inhabited by lots of deers, boars, monkeys and many types of birds including peacocks and hornbills. In Handeleum we found dozens of wild ox grassing on the open space near the river. We were five of us, I (holding a stick), Amir (grey hair on the back), Chandra (black tank top), Edo (white tank top), and James (green T-shirt). Edo and James are friends of Chandra.
