Because, to arrive at the Village Nembrala, a trip that must be long enough, ie, initially, the air must travel from Jakarta to Kupang. Then in the port of Kupang Tanau, we have to catch the ferry to the island of Rote. Fast ferry which takes two hours, will bring us to the District prior Ba'a until at Village Nembrala.

Arriving in District Ba'a, the trip continued with the use of the automobile for almost 1.5 hours. Throughout the trip, the scenery can be seen is the dry grasslands and the branches of leafless trees due to drought. There are distinct impression at the sight. Beautiful but melancholy.

Unfortunately, the access road into the village from the district Ba'a Nembrala less so fun when we are not explorers who used to do off road. In addition, the distance is far enough, the condition of the course are also corrupted and not yet paved.

However, when I arrived at the beach, the beauty Sugiarto told it did not seem excessive. Beach Nembrala satisfactory eye with the blue sea water swash pulled over to the long white sand beaches.

In addition to the above view, in the pouring sun in the afternoon, SP also seen some boat fishermen looked back on shore. Occasionally, the sound of cheerful young children who were enjoying the beach soaking in the silence of the sea.

That afternoon, while waiting for sunset, SP and friends decided to taste the typical dishes in a simple restaurant owned by a local inn. Not much different from other restaurants in the villages on the island of Rote, the restaurant also provides a fish sour soup, which is half-baked grouper cooked in boiling water and then boiled with water taste sour flavor that comes from, among others, tomato, kaffir lime leaves , stems lemongrass and basil.

Finally, the sun slowly began to sink on the horizon, casting fierce light remnants of a sweep of the orange tucked between small clumps of afternoon cloud gray. Breakeven with the beauty of this long journey that has taken to get to the place. [Christine Novita Nababan]
