Morotai

My next trip is Morotai.Sebuah small island that became the target ally during World War II in order for territory Indonesia and the Philippines. An island that is able to make me like crazy just to be able to witness its beauty in person. Even General Douglas Mac Arthur really liked this small island that holds a million stories following historical relics and natural beauty.

But, why do I get all that with the attraction of this small island? I did not know because only with photos of white sandy beach which is the capital of my recklessness.

This is my 16th province that I would be explored. I can't wait for it. 

Morotai is a new administrative region in the province of North Maluku. Morotai Island is the name of an island as well as a definitive new district that is located in the island of Halmahera, Maluku Islands, Indonesia. As part of the North Maluku, it is one of the most northerly island in Indonesia.

Because Morotai Island was once a military base during World War II, so do not be surprised if around the island there are many war relics of the cave hideout, airstrip, and armored vehicles that are still intact. All of it is a silent witness how great the war. You will find these objects on the seabed. Go diving and you will see it.

One of the object of world war II like this. 

Travelling around Morotai which is a small town and you will enjoy its white sand while waiting for sunrise panorama, is a moment that will never be forgotten. 

in addition, the fountain monument in the city center Morotai and located on the seafront is luxury place that I like the most. Especially when the evening. Fountain decorated with colorful lights. Beautiful.

So, Anda tertarik ke Morotai ?

Have a great travelling and create your own journey.
