For those of you who lived in Jakarta or at least been to Jakarta before, must have been familiar to hear the name of this area, Muara Angke. What is interesting about this place? Well, let us take you there...
Besides as one of Fishing Center in Indonesia in manage, organize, maintain fishing harbors and also the fish auction plus fish landing bases...Muara Angke is utilized for housing fishermen with pond of brackish water for aquaculture trials, mangrove forest park, etc. A really cool place to hanging out.

On one side this place is beautiful and attractive but on the other side this place is bit disgusting because of the garbage that floats on the waters edge. Still this place looks very unique to us, that is why we keep this sightseeing journey on.
We started it from the Pluit Beach, driving to Pluit Harbor but we did not enter the harbor, we just return direction of our car when we saw more piles of trash in front of the gate (look miserable).
We continuing our journey to Fishermen Village, passing through streets with all modest houses on our left-right side. There are local transportation, Bajaj, passing by. We did not seen many vehicles pass through this area (which is good for us), then we parked the car and started to walking, looking for a small alley and entering the village--watching fishermen activities.

Don't forget to wear comfortable clothes and not excessive, we recommend wear sandals and a cap. The weather was so hot and a bit dry, just drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration :-). Many things that we could enjoyed here. Watching fishermen sewing their nets, fisherman's wife open the clam shells or seeing fish being dried. Oh yeah, by the time we entered the village we love the sounds of our footsteps walking on seashells. Lovely!.
And finally...just enjoy the atmosphere here through our pictures.
