The longer the ship’s speed more added, until the passengers who were in it was rocked and rocked.

Wanting more freedom to enjoy its beautiful island, we decided to circle the Angel Island without using a guide. ‘ve Already available also a fairly comprehensive brochure which contains the island. Counterclockwise around the island clockwise direction, we crossed the bungalows are not so great, but looks shady and beautiful. Because almost every corner of this island continent Garden grow trees and a few other trees that look very fertile. Continue to walk into the castle we will find which been damaged, but still visible remnants of power. The building that served as the control tower and the castle on Angel Island this circular with diameters of 23 meters in 2.50 meter thick walls. On the walls there are rows of large windows and small. On the inside of this building there are seven ground floor rooms are separated by brick walls skater.
One room serves as a closed that storage of ammunition. In the middle there is a wall of another circle that serves as water storage for drinking and cooking for the soldiers on guard. Before the archaeological excavations carried out, building watchtowers on Angel Island is not seen his form because the entire surface of the building were covered by debris and covered by huge trees and weeds. But after thorough research and excavations by the Department of Museums and History of DKI Jakarta, finally can be shown to form from the remnants of the tower building. This watchtower two-story, this is evidenced by the holes in the floor block buffer. The rooms on the second floor there are seven pieces. Possible second floor of this room serves as a sleeping room and place surveillance.
The shape of this tower building in Europe better known as the Martello Tower. First introduced by the French, or rather d island of Corsica in the 18th century. When an uprising on the island in 1794, they requested assistance to help attack the British. But to conquer Corsica, England overwhelmed citadel Point Martello tower in guarding the entrance to the bay Fiorenzo. The fort was quite powerful in defense, so his return from the war, the British set up the same building in the country. Later this building was not only copied by the British but Dutch. No wonder the Dutch are the Martello tower built in the colonial countries like Indonesia as part of its defense system. And one of them was founded on Angel Island that marks can still see today. Besides, there is a castle with Martello with same located north of Angel Island. Can be reached by boat about ten minutes.
On the north side of the fort is the north Coast of Angel Island as the limit of the northern part. The beach looked much cleaner and more transparent than the south coast side. This is because the north shore is not directly facing the bay of Jakarta’s many contaminated. Several small seating available overlooking the beach side of the beach. Sit on chair while at the sight of blue sea, the sea breeze breeze is very pleasant. Once satisfied around the island, happy, fresh, and tired and hunger mixed into one. Therefore be prepared to enjoy a meal provided by the restaurant to exchange the vouchers that we get when buying the boat ticket. The menu is not fancy, but also cannot simply say, rice and side dishes and desserts complete actually be therapeutic hunger there.
Because the restaurant is directly opposite the beach, fantastic foods, looking at the sea, hear the waves lilting. Not feel time pass so fast when he was in this island, the ship was ready to pick up at the dock, one by one passenger up and we returned to the dock 17.
