Pangandaran > West Java ~ Indonesia > Day 04 > 2014 May 18
There's an International Kite Festival at Pangandaran, and today is the final battle. So before we go home, we watch it first. But unfortunately, untill 10 o'clock, the festival hadn't started yet. Because we want to eat lunch at Sidareja which took 1 hour to 1.5 hours, so we cancelled our plan to watch the festival, and go home.

Pangandaran > West Java ~ Indonesia > Day 03 > 2014 May 17
Day 3 in Pangandaran, We have a sour body because of yesterday's body rafting. That's why we woke up late and missed the sunrise moment.
Today, we plan to explore the Recreation Park and Nature Reserve until the white sand beach then went back by boat. The entrance just right in the left of the hotel. But when we walk to there, there's a local people who rent boat, give us advance to enter the reserve from white sand beach because the difference cost. If we go to the Reserve first then ride the boat, the Reserve entrance ticket will cost IDR 7.000/person. But if we ride the boat first then entering the Reserve, the entrance ticket will cost only IDR 2.000/person.
So, we decided to ride the boat first. At the morning, the sea tide is high, and it reach out the beach. But the waves was so calm.
If you ride the boat at Pangandaran, the boat renter will always give you offer to do some activity, for example watch what inside the middle of sea, go to white sand beach, and also go surround the Reserve to see Japan Cave. My father said, he has gone surround the Reserve to see Japan cave before with his friends, and the wave was too high. Almost 1.5 metres.
We only ride the boat until the white sand beach, which cost IDR 50.000/boat. Then from there, we entering Nature Reserve.
There's so many monkey inside the Nature Reserve. Becareful with your belonging. Don't hold your fist, because it sign if you have any food. And the monkey will come to you to ask for food. Just open your hand, and show the monkey that you didn't have anything.
After walk around 5 minutes, there's a guard that sell the entrance ticket.
You can see the Japan cave inside the Reserve. I found two of them. I don't know how many of them inside there, but I'm sure it's a lot.
There's a bridge inside the Nature Reserve, which connect white sand beach area and Pangandaran beach. We can see the the River Mouth below the bridge.
It's kinday creepy, walking inside the Nature reserve, like walking in wild forest.. XD
After approximately 1 hour, we arrive at the west
entrance near our hotel. There's 2 entrance/exit, west entrance and east enrance. East entrance located near East Beach Pangandaran.
Then we walk back to hotel and prepare to eat lunch. After eat lunch, while on the way back to hotel, we see the fisherman started to pull the fish net. It's so fun to watch them. At first the will ride the boat to the middle of the ocean, to spread the fish net.
I don't know how long will they let the fish net inside the ocean. But after the time determine, they will pull it. At first, the will pull it from the two side.
Then until some point, they will put the fish net together, and pull it together.
After watch how fisherman pull their fish net, then we go back to Hotel. Me and my brother decided to ride Odong-Odong. You can rent it, there's so many of it in here.
We rent the one in front of our hotel.
It's fun, but tiring. 1 hour rent, cost IDR 50.000. We only rent it for 1 hour, because riding it was too tiring XD
After take a rest, then we go to the beach again. We eat coconut and enjoy the scene in the evening.
Then we rent surfboard, and play in the water.
It's fun, and tiring. At first, it's hard to using surfboard, but if you know how to used it, then you can surf smoothly. We really enjoy it.
At 17:00, we back to hotel and preparing for eat dinner.
After dinner, we walk around. The Odong-Odong, at night was full of light.
Then we go back to hotel to take a rest. Good Night.. :)

Pangandaran > West Java ~ Indonesia > Day 02 > 2014 May 16
Wake up at 04:00 to watch sunrise at East beach. Too bad, it's cloudy, and the sunrise didn't full.
The East beach side, there's so many stan. You can sit and enjoy the scene.
After the sun was rise, we go back to hotel to eat breakfast. Then at 9 o'clock, we went to Citumang Body Rafting. I heard this place a few times, and some of my father's friends have already went there and they said it's so fun.
Me and my brother has meet some agent in the east beach, they said it cost IDR 100.000 if they book from Pangandaran. But we decided to see the location first, and book in there.
The journey took about 30-45 minutes. Don't worry, there's the sign of the place while on road, so you won't get lost. The route was in the middle of the journey to Batu Hiu Beach.
Arrived there, there's 2 car parking. The first one is where we go. It's the finish point for the rafting. The 2nd one, is the start point. It cost IDR 75.000 if we directly book from the location. If your group less than 10 people, then they will give you 1 guide which also help you take picture. They are proffesional, I use my pocket camera which is not water resistant, but he can use it well without touch the water.
We have to walk approximately 1km barefoot. Then arrive at the 2nd car parking. There's a sign "Welcome to Citumang Body Rafting". Then we arrive at the cave. You can entering the cave, but it's dark. We didn't entering it, but only took picture in front of the cave.
The flow near the cave was really strong. They provided rope to help us.
The first obstacle is 3 meters waterfall. We have to jump in there. There's no other way. Don't worry, the buoy help you to floating. And the guide will take care of you.
There's 3 waterfall. The first one approximately 3 meters. The 2nd and 3rd, only 1/2 meters. It's fun, but after the 3rd waterfall, it started to boring. We only follow the flow until the irrigation part, then entering small river which there's a thousand of little crab. It's tickles. But it's fun, especially if you came here with large group.
After almost 1 hour, our rafting end. Then we went back to Pangandaran to eat lunch. After the activity, we really feel hungry.
Those are the fresh seafood that we choose, guess what will it become?
There's a famous dessert in Pangandaran, it's called Es Podeng.
Then we back to hotel for resting.
In the afternoon, we go to the beach.
After play a while at the beach, then at 17:00 we go back to hotel then go to dinner. There's a special fish in the restaurant. It shark.
But we didn't eat it. Our dinner:
After dinner, we stroll around to shopping, then back to hotel to sleep. Today is tiring day.
