What looks like an absolutely ordinary place somewhere along the South-Coast of Java there you will find a very curious hotel, belonging to the concatenation of the famous Hotel Indonesia International. The name of the first President Sukarno is involved with the SAMUDRA BEACH HOTEL, Pelabuhan Ratu.... the "Harbour of the Queen". There is a mysterious room, permanently reserved, arranged and furnished for the Spirit-Queen Of The Segara Kidul/Southern Ocean. You will find a small apartment, well-fitted up as a little salon with a boudoir. A heavy shade of incense and flowers do welcome you and you could go for a meditation, pray for help, relief, succour, remedy, advice, welfare ...orjust to pay a visit! The Juru-kunci/spiritual doorman PAK ACIL could help you to get a closer contact with the Spirit-Queen... When you take a look out for the beautifull panorama of Kamar 308/Room 308 you'll find the special KETAPANG-tree. This used to be the place where the President Sukarno used to meditate before he build the hotel. It is told he created on this exact spot an intimate relation with the heavenly Queen Of The Segara Kidul... GUSTI KANJENG RATU KIDUL |
