Vacation To Santolo Beach

When Idul Fitri holiday, after visiting my parents at Pameungpeuk, Garut, I and my family went to
Santolo Beach to refresh our mind after the long time of work. It’s rarely to take a vacation because
I’m very busy.
The way to Santolo beach is quite good, and the view is really beautiful. On our left and right is full of
rice fields and many coconut trees along the way. But when we nearly arrived, there was a long
traffic jam so we hardly to get in into the beach. I guess this was because of the Idul Fitri holiday, so
people want to go to beach too. Then we just take a walk to the beach because it was not far.
Fortunately the weather was not too hot on that day.

After we arrived, the beach was so crowded. But we still enjoyed the time by took pictures,
swimming, playing sand, and go around the beach by boat. We stay overnight in the inn that we
have rent before.

We got up so early in the morning that we could enjoy sunrise landscape at the beach. My cousin
playing with white sand and I took a picture of him.

A day at Santolo beach felt so short, we were quite tired for playing a whole day, but we were very
happy.

Terjemahannya:

Liburan ke Pantai Santolo

Ketika libur lebaran, setelah mengunjungi orang tua saya di Pameungpeuk, Garut, saya dan keluarga
saya pergi ke Pantai Santolo untuk menyegarkan pikiran kita setelah lama bekerja. Ini jarang untuk
berlibur karena saya sangat sibuk.

Jalan ke Pantai Santolo pantai cukup bagus, dan pemandangan benar-benar indah. Pada kiri dan
kanan kami penuh sawah dan pohon kelapa banyak di sepanjang jalan. Tapi ketika kita hampir tiba,
ada kemacetan panjang sehingga kita hampir tidak bisa masuk ke pantai. Saya kira ini adalah karena
libur lebaran, sehingga orang-orang ingin pergi ke pantai juga. Akhirnya kita berjalan ke pantai
Karena itu tidak jauh. Untungnya cuaca tidak terlalu panas pada hari itu.

Setelah kami tiba, pantai itu begitu penuh sesak. Tapi kami masih menikmati waktu dengan
mengambil gambar, berenang, bermain pasir, dan pergi di sekitar pantai dengan perahu. Kami
menginap di penginapan yang kita miliki sewa sebelumnya.

Kami bangun pagi sehingga kita bisa menikmati pemandangan matahari terbit di pantai. Sepupu saya
bermain dengan pasir putih dan saya mengambil foto dirinya.

Sehari di pantai Santolo rasanya begitu singkat, kami cukup lelah untuk bermain sepanjang hari, tapi
kami sangat senang.

Visiting My Village

Last month, I and my family went to Banyumas which was located in Central Java, Indonesia. We
drove a car. I enjoyed the journey all day long although it took 2 days to get there. We were fun, my
brother made some jokes all day. My father told us some stories on the way. My mother slept on the
back seat.

My first day in my village, I visited my siblings and friends. We are welcomed by happiness. When I
saw my parents, they cried because they looked so happy to meet up their families. The next day, I,
my brother, my cousin and my nephew went to a popular place in Purwokerto. It was called
“Baturaden”. That was a favorite spot in Purwokerto. We enjoyed local specialty food as culinary. I
was satisfied and so were they. Next, I took a photo with traditional music musicians.

My brother, my cousin and my nephew enjoy the view with other visitors. They took a photo with
their style like I did. In the evening, we were back home. And did other private activities, such as
made a conversation, told the story and made a joke.

The day after tomorrow, my cousin had a ceremony to say thanks to God for blessing their son. It
was called “Nazar”. When the parents had a promise for something and it was realized. They had to
make a traditional ceremony. I watched that traditional ceremony and took their photograph.

For the last show, we were entertained by “Ebeg”. It was traditional art. The player danced through
the traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It was scary, but it was fun and entertain.

Time run so fast because the next day was our last day in the village. So I took the last photo to bring
it home. They were my family and still family until the last breath in this world.

Finally, we had to go home and brought a love experience from family. Yaps… that was the hardest
part.
