From Pangkalanbun airport, we, six people altogether, were taken directly to Kumai Port by taxi for about 15 minutes. While waiting for the guide to take care of our tickets, we directly went to a boat called “klotok”. The naming of klotok is based on the noise that sounds coming out from the boat, “tok … tok … tok”. The klotok we would take was a medium-sized one with two storeys. The lower storey was driver’s room, while the upper one was for cooking, bathing, sleeping and other relaxing activities.
Around 11:00, we were driven from the harbor to the first camp of Tanjung Harapan. In Tanjung Harapan, Bang Zulham, our guide, asked us to get ready for a walk into the forest to the feeding station. The track is quite light with flat roads and peat soil. In feeding station, we had an outstanding view of 4 orangutans enjoying fruits that had been prepared by the ranger for their lunch.
Konflik
Cerita yang menarik adalah cerita yang memiliki konflik. Dengan adanya konflik, cerita tidak akan menjadi membosankan. Konflik bisa dibangun dari adanya permasalahan yang terjadi, atau adanya pertentangan antara kenyataan yang sangat jauh dari harapan penulis. (Baca: Contoh Kalimat Past Perfect Tense)
Suddenly, there was a huge orangutan coming and approaching us. Bang Zulham asked us to squat. I felt my heart beating so hard. My hands were trembling so bad. The huge orangutan was approaching me and smelling me out. He opened my backpack, then took my bread, and something else that I did not know. I was too afraid to see it. Not far from my position, somebody took a picture on me with the orangutan. The orangutan looked surprised, and then he ran away leaving us. I took a relieved sigh. I checked my bag, and … damn!!! I couldn’t find my phone. I could not stop cursing the human-like ape. Everyone laughed at my bad luck, excluding me.
Solusi
Setelah adanya konflik, biasanya akan ada solusi atau penyelesaian. Solusi tidak selalu berhasil menyelesaikan masalah, namun bisa juga hanya dengan menurunkan kadar intensitas konflik. Masalah yang terjadi bisa ditutup dengan sesuatu yang baik atau buruk, atau bahkan tanpa penyelesaian sama sekali.

Our last night at Tanjung Puting was served with hundreds or maybe thousands of fireflies showing off the lights in front of us. The fireflies, we called oh were so close that I could hold and stick to the skin. The fireflies which beautified the night flew around me as if they had tried to entertain me and asked me not to think about my bad luck on the day before. While enjoying the fireflies, Bang Zulham was approaching me. He gave a very unique bracelet. He said that it was handmade by Bang Zulham himself. He also promised to find my phone and would send it to me. I just smiled and say thank you.
Penutup
Dalam penutup, penulis menceritakan bagaimana perjalanan tersebut berakhir. Juga dijelaskan bagaimana kesan atau pelajaran yang didapat dari pengalaman tersebut. Dalam penutup, penulis bisa juga memberikan rekomendasi atau saran kepada pembaca mengenai liburan yang dialaminya.
Upon completion, we were returned back to the airport for chasing the plane with a departure at 1:15 p.m. It was at this airport, and I was ready to end my 3-day and 2-night trip. Before I stepped out to the gate, Bang Zulham gave a photograph. I was so surprised. It was me and the orangutan. It was a rare chance to have a picture like this. I could not say anything.
