My Holiday with My Friends at Pangandaran Beach
Last month was the New Year holiday. I and my friends went to Pangandaran Beach for
a vacation. We took a tourist bus to go there. We left at 07.00 a.m. The trip took about four
hours and we arrived at around 11.00 am.
As we arrived there, I walked down to the beach. It was a nice sunny day with a blue sky
and a gentle breeze. I saw some seagulls flew around hunting for fish.
The waves there were suitable for swimming, but I didn’t swim because I couldn’t swim
and only played with the water in the shallow part. We also didn’t miss our opportunity here
to take some pictures with the background of scenic Pangandaran Beach.
Before we went home, I looked for beautiful souvenirs at the nearby shop. Eventually,
we went home at about 05.00 pm. It was a memorable experience for me with my friends.
