Friday, 30th December 2016. My friends and I went to Leuwi Panjang Bus Station at around 8 p.m. we went there by a car. Then, we get in the Arimbi Bus which is the one of a few buses that are headed to Merak Port. It cost Rp. 85.000, it's around $ 6.36. In that night, I feel so nervous, because it was my first time to go far away from home for a few days just with my two friend. It feels so hard to leave Bandung, although I knew that I will come back. But it's okay, I can handle it then.

And then the bus depart right at 9 p.m. I sat on a couple seat in front of the corner seat, and I sat next to one of my friend, while my other friend sat across us, because the bus seat is formed 2-2. At previous, I have prepared many things that I brought for the trip, many things are foods. On the bus we was just talking and joking to make our mood feels good. After that I was listening musics, but a few hours later my phone lost its signal. So, I couldn't streaming musics anymore. I just daydreaming until I felt sleepy, then I slept around 11 p.m.

The trip took very long time. Because at that time, buses couldn't go through the highway, because of the refinement of Cisomang Bridge. So, big vehicles couldn't go through there. They past to the alternative road, which is through Purwakarta. It make longer time for a long trip. And finally, we arrive at Simpang Cilegon around 3 a.m, we got off the bus and we got in angkot to continue the trip. But we have to wait until the angkot is full of passengers. After an half hour, it has been full of passengers. Then we can go.

I just knew that Cilegon has many big industries. They emits very bright light around their area. About 45 minutes on the way, we arrived in our destination which is my friend's grand parent's house in a village named Tawing. We picked up by my friend's uncle. Finally, we arrived at the house at 4.30 a.m. Because we felt really tired, so we slept again and woke up at 10 a.m.

I didn't realize previous that the temperature in there is a bit hot. So different than in my city which has cool temperature. Then we had breakfast. After that, one of my friends took us to the garden behind house to pick some coconuts on its tree. My friend were trying to climb, but it's too high. So, he was try to hit it by a long stick. And he got one, but it's broken out, so he failed. Then I wanted to try hit it too. But I couldn't get it, it's so hard. Then we gave up. So my friend call his uncle to ask him for pick coconuts. And then, he ask a climber, so we got many coconuts. There's nothing better than fresh coconut water.

In the afternoon, we were going to the beach. There was many people, we were just sitting and chillin' on beach sand. We were waiting for the sunset. Then the sunset has begin, it was cloudy but still wonderful.

After that, we went to my friend's uncle's house. We were waiting for my friend's parents. Then they came, so we accompany them to the grand parent's house. After a while, my friend's mother invite us to buy some fish for make a grilled fish. Then we went to the market to find fishes. We got 2 big fish, and some medium fish. When we were on our way, there was a durian shop at the roadside. Then we bought some durian. We back to the house and ate durians.

Because that night is a new year night, so we went to a hotel which have a fireworks party. Anyone should pay if they want to join the party, but we got in there helped by my friend's uncle, so we haven't to pay. So we got in and enjoyed the party. Actually, it is the best fireworks party I've ever felt. There are hundreds of formed fireworks. There are also music performances. It was really a great night. After all over, we back to house and sleep.

In the next day, we had a breakfast, and then we went to the beach about 9 a.m. We were swimming and taking many photos. And then we went back to house. Surprisingly, there were some grilled fish for lunch. It was very delicious lunch. After we ate, we took a rest.

In the afternoon at 4 p.m, we went to a place named Karang Bolong. People said that Karang Bolong is the best place to see the sunset in Anyer Beach, and that's really true. It is the magnificent sunset, with the cool wind blows. It is the best feeling, especially with listening to bossa nova jazz songs. I suggest you to listen to bossa nova jazz songs if you are watching sunset, it is the most suitable song.


And we back home at the night, we were very satisfied. After we back home, we had dinner with grilled fish again. I couldn't describe, but it is one of the best day.

In the next day, we woke up earlier, we prepare our things, and packed it. Then we had our last breakfast there. And finally we went back to Simpang Cilegon by a car, and got in the bus which is headed to Bandung. Finally we arrived in Bandung at 9 p.m and I arrived at my home at 10 p.m. It will be my memorable trip.
