I am awake and I am still feeling sleepy because of the airsickness
but lucky me. I stay in nice hotel. The hotel names is Olive Tree Hotel. I will

Park in Penang? Wow, I can not wait to see some nice spots there. It so
fantastic when I get an opportinity to discover Penang for a few days with
different and nice spot every day.
Before talking about Penang National Park. I want to say Thank You for
the Tourism Malaysia who invite me as one of participants from Indonesia. This
event called Mega Fam Trip 2018 with the subject themes “Eco Fam Trip 2018 Penang/
Kedah/ Kuala Lumpur.” I meet many people and most of them so awesome and
fantastic from Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Philipna and Singapore. Thank you for

From Ollive Tree Hotel Penang to get to Penang National Park need estimate time an hour. No worry, the group already prepare and the bus goes in time. The way to get there so fantastic and I love it. Nice weather, sun light come to my window and I feel so good because I need sun light in morning time. It’s good for our health, am I right? The way to get there I guess has two ways but today we go there with the village road so I can see the best view from my window bus. I see many trees and best view including the bus passed to some nice spot and make my eyes is getting big and make sleepy gone suddenly.

Emm... I will not to make you bored, so let’s get fun
here like me when I visit Penang National Park. Do you want to know what I do
in this National Park at Penang Island? Before boat go to the Keracut beach,
the participants should get information about this park. So, friends and I go
to a room and hear about history in the National Park with nice slide and
information, of course. Holiday is not the only get fun but also knowledge that
is perfect adventure at all. After hearing about National Park information then
time to discover and adventure together.
The first, friends and I go to the Pantai Kerachut (Kerachut beach) or local people said Turtles Beach because this beach has conservation centre about turtles and a lot of turtles lay eggs in this beach. The reason because this sands so different style. The sands is not sticky in turtle body and I am trying to touch the sands and that is right. The sands shape is little bigger then the other kind of sands in the beach. So, lay down in this sand beach, it will not make you dirty because the sands easy to remove from our body and dress.
There are two species of turtles, the green turtle and Olive Ridley turtle and the one of the world’s smallest species of sea turtles are regular visitors to Kerachut beach to lay their eggs. Even this beach has camping camp but the rule is very strong which around 06.00 pm You can not close on the beach because sometimes in the that time some turtles wants to lay eggs.
No fire in the beach because it will make turtles stress and afraid. The most unique this beach has nice view but You and I can not swim there because of forbidden. What! Going to the beach without playing on sea water! It’s crazy, is that right? That is any reason about it because the beach a lot of jelly fish and it so danger for You and I. So, better just enjoy the beach from the ocean without swimming but You can do trek in this area.
Trek in this location around one kilo meter so You can
find new sensation to do it. This area also has more than 1,000 species of
flora and 271 species of wildlife so You can get a lot of photograp if You love
to take photo as your hobby. I do it and I have a lot of photos but I just keep
it in my laptop hahaha. O.K many things You can do, if you love to camp, this
Keruchut beach the best part to do it! The most is nice this place has few camp
sites are available around the Keruchut beach (because the National Park at
Penang so big has a few spot to camp, there are Sungai Tukun and Teluk Kampi)
but this time I just discover Kerachut beach. This place has camp and kitchen
area so You can enjoy camp in here. No worry if you are small group and You
want to enjoy on this camp, You still can do it as long as You already register
to the officer Penang National Park.
The most I love to explore Keruchut beach because in
this place has meromictic lake. Do you know what is mean meromictic beach? Let’s
ask Mr Wiki. What Mr Wiki said: A meromictic
lake has layers of water that do not intermix. In ordinary,
"holomictic" lakes, at least once each year, there is a physical
mixing of the surface and the deep waters.The term "meromictic" was
coined by the Austrian Ingo Findenegg in 1935, apparently based on the older
word "holomictic". The concepts and terminology used in describing
meromictic lakes were essentially complete following some additions by G. Evelyn
Hutchinson in 1937. Typical mixing
pattern for a dimictic lake. This does not occur in meromictic lakes. Most
lakes are holomictic; that is, at least once per year, physical mixing occurs
between the surface and the deep waters. In so-called monomictic lakes, the
mixing occurs once per year; in dimictic lakes, the mixing occurs twice a year
(typically spring and autumn), and in polymictic lakes, the mixing occurs
several times a year. In meromictic lakes, however, the layers of the lake
water can remain unmixed for years, decades, or centuries.** wikipedia
Because when I visit this area on dry season so the
lake is dry but this lake is unique every season the shape of lake so
different. So let’s discover this place and You will feel so awesome. Even the
sun hit You but You still can hiding under the trees. The most I love when I
see some kind of turtles in the conservation centre. You can learn about
turtles, plus, I get best experience when I am making a baby turtle (the ages
around a week) goes to the beach for the first time. It so fantastic and I am
so exciting to do in Kerachut beach. Even this is not the first experience on
me because in Bintan sometimes we do it but You will love it! See how the cute
baby turtle try to find the way to escape to the beach.
