Marifi Я бронировал комнату в Marifi guesthouse на три дня, но в итоге прожил восемь: сказалась расслабляющая атмосфера индонезийской деревни, а также завязавшееся знакомство с другим русскоговорящим туристом. Однако, чем дольше я там находился, тем больше раздражали негативные стороны пребывания в этом месте. Гестхаус расположен в нетуристической части острова. С одной стороны - это плюс: меньше приезжих, почти пустой пляж и, казалось бы, более низкие цены. Но минус - отсутствие минимальной инфраструктуры, необходимой для отдыха - пожалуй, перевешивает. По пляжу бродят коровы, всюду оставляя следы своего пребывания; довольно много мусора... А две главные проблемы: еда и собственно море. Нормально поесть там да и в соседней деревне, по сути, невозможно: в местных варунгах даже куриного мяса не встретишь: рис, лапша, миниатюрные рыбки. При этом цены - от 15 до 30 тысяч рупий. Фрукты, к сожелению, здесь тоже не продаются, за исключением бананов и чумпо. Поплавать в море, увы, тоже можно далеко не всегда: большую часть дня глубина - чуть выше колена. Купаться предпочтительно в тапочках, чтобы не поранить ноги о кораллы. Ещё один минус пляжа Pantai Pasir Putih - песчаные мухи. В принципе, все эти проблемы можно обойти, арендовав мотобайк (100000 IDR) и путешествуя по всему острову, останавливаясь на других пляжах. Это так, но зачем тогда жить в Marifi? Может, гестхаус так хорош, что другие аспекты отдыха там выглядят незначительными? Мне кажется, что это не так. Двухэтажное здание гестхауса расположено на маленькой деревенской улочке, поэтому шум, издаваемый мотобайками, петухами, козами, цесарками разбудит уже вскоре после рассвета. Около 7 утра хозяин гестхауса заведет свой автомобиль, и это заменит будильник. Я жил на первом этаже, и эти звуки мне особенно досаждали. В комнате временами было душно, но дверь открывать не хотелось: лёжа на кровати можно видеть людей во дворе дома напротив, ну и наоборот: постель перед ними, как на ладони. Хозяевам следовало бы подумать о чем-то типа занавески. В ванной комнате меня удивило отсутствие раковины. Видимо, поэтому и мыло не положили - зачем? Простыню или одеяло пришлось просить у жены хозяина. В комнате две розетки, но их расположение таково, что вентилятор или не обдувает кровать, или стоит вплотную к изголовью, но на минимальную скорость не включается. Кондиционера не было. Встретили меня в гестхаусе очень сдержанно: вручили ключ от номера, и все. Только потом я узнал про второй этаж, где есть общая веранда с местом для барбекю, а также устройством, предназначенном для кипячения и охлаждения воды. Однако, электрический провод был обрезан, и можно было лишь налить воду комнатной температуры в тех случаях, когда она была. По моему мнению, наличие бесплатного Wi-Fi обязательно для современного отеля или гестхауса, но в Marifi такая услуга не предоставляется. Когда я уже собрался уезжать, выяснилось, что стоимость трансфера на автомобиле до паромного причала, предлагаемого хозяином, 100000 рупий, и это, по его словам, минимально возможная цена, независимо от вида транспорта. Это оказалось ложью, или мне повезло: меня отвезли на мотоцикле за 25000. Надо отметить, что отношение хозяев к отдыхавшим одновременно со мной французам и индонезийцам было более заботливым, чем ко мне и американцу русского происхождения, с которым у него был конфликт. Стремление максимально сэкономить на предоставляемых услугах и получить побольше за дополнительные услуги - вот что бросается в глаза. До приезда в Marifi я провел 8 дней в гестхаусе Olala, в поселке Iboih, и остался очень доволен: в первую очередь морем и подводными красотами, да и размещение было хорошим. Туда я и вернусь в...
