5.Congratulations,,, you in Pari now. If you not have tour guide from the begining, dont worry,, First you have to find some one and show these messages. " permisi, bisa tolong saya?. Saya ingin bersepeda, ke pantai, snorkling dan kembali pulang siang ini . Berapa biaya nya?" . After that you can speak by tarzan language :D and calculator language for the price :D. I think the price is around 200.000 - 300000 rupiah. Make sure you bring cash money. No ATM in Pari.
You can go back jakarta by ferry at 1.00 . and if by boat you have to reservation the tiket when you just arrived in Pari so they can tell you when the boat arrives.
This island accesable for telecomuniation, internet so don't worry,,. How about the food?? there is ikan bakar/fish grill, nasi / rice, otak-otak, sayur asem. If you get confused about the food there is instant noodle with egg, indomie pake telor. :D
