Pangandaran March 14-17

So it's kinda late post, yeah. Things come up (like having a fight with ex and stuff) which made me sorts of unwilling to write this post, but here I am anyway. It will be a short post though, since we didn't do much, spent many hours of driving and getting lost.

March 14
Yogi's house was the starting point, we left at 11 PM.

March 15
Stopped by at rest area at around 1 or 2 AM. Ate a little (PopMie for me) and continuing journey. We (or should I say Yogi, as he is the driver) followed the direction told by Siri (yeah that iPhone girl one) and going through very dark and uneven roads. In the morning stopped by to pray, also stop by to eat porridge as breakfast (which tasted yuckkkks). Arrived at Green Canyon at.... 10 AM? I forgot. They said the water level was high because of the rain so we couldn't do body rafting. Continuing journey to Pangandaran, found a very cheap hotel. 450K for a night in a big room with 3 bed. Got breakfast for 6 person. There was also hot water and air-con. So we bath and went out. After not satisfying lunch we went to see beach with white sands and the national park(?) also has caves. Actually can do snorkeling there but we didn't bring spare clothes so we just played a bit. I took two shells, one of them is pink but seems has no effect in my love life lol (I read too much shoujo manga, it's just myth after all pffft). Then we went back and bath again and by night we are having dinner in seafood restaurant nearby. Around 300K for 7 people with 5 different dishes.

March 16
Bath. Breakfast. Check out. Going to Green Canyon again to do body rafting. The water was not green yet (rain effect), but we do it anyway. It was really fun. I jumped off twice (from 3m and 6m high), told Yogi to jump first though haha. The rest can't swim, and the water current is quite strong (the men who guide us said that was weak but we're not used to it so..). Suci and Betty cried lol. There's an awkward moment though, when we finished body rafting. So we had to use 2 boats to get to the front. While waiting for my boat with Betty and Irvan, she said to Irvan "Kok kamu ga lompat kayak Cae. Cae aja berani." and I was there and silenced and Irvan changed the subject lol. Good thing the boat arrived shortly after. After body rafting we supposed to leave to Garut and spend the night there but we took too long to finish the course (5 hours, it supposed to be 3-4 hours) and it's almost night. So we went to Batu Karas, another beach, near Green Canyon. For hotel, we spent 325K/night/room and we book 3 rooms. Not expensive actually, but for a fresh-graduate who don't have much money, it was quite much. Apparently that beach has high waves so many foreigners went there to surf. There is also a surfing lesson offered, but I don't know how much, would like to try if I have chance to go there again. Eat at another seafood restaurant, the price is around the same.

March 17
Trying to catch the sunrise but there's fog, so it wasn't clear. The beach is clean and many little crabs going around. After breakfast we check out. Going to Garut by trying to find a good road but end up taking a further route. Found out the river we used for body raft already green but of course, not doing it again. Body rafting was so exhausting, we felt all of our body is aching. Can't stand up from sitting without saying 'ouch' haha. So at Garut, stopped by to buy chocolates (not me) and ate at Sundanese restaurant. Then we went home, but trapped with flood on our way to highway so we have to go around and stuff. Finally arrived at Yogi's at 12AM. Too late to go back so we spent the night there, going home/work by next morning.

Not as short as I thought eh. Pardon my grammar u.u;;;
