Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you are all right. Last month, I enjoyed a nice little vacation with my friends. I visited a beach located in Merak, Banten. Has this vacation been planned? Of course, this vacation was planned. But, because I went on a weekday, I had to bring my laptop to finish my work.
Because we were afraid to oversleep, we decided to stay at the house of our friend, Vivi Hardika—his house, is very close to train access. We were right at 05.00 am by train. The trip to the beach is about two hours. First, we have to use the commuter line. We continued our journey using the Banten local train.
During the trip, we enjoyed the scenery, took pictures, and told many stories. It's a great vacation even though I have to keep working. Oh yes, something is missing in my story, we also prepared provisions to go to the beach. We prepare kimbab, fried sausages, eggs, fruits, snacks, drinks, and more.
I will enter the story about this beach. The name of this beach is Pulau Merak Kecil which is in the waters of the Sunda Strait, Banten. This beach has beautiful white sand and lots of coral. You have to be careful if you want to swim at this beach. The water is also very clear. For me, this beach is still kept clean. You can swim to dive on this beach.
Even though the size of this island is quite small, you can rent a tent to spend the night on this island. Take it easy, on this island there are several food sales. To enter this tour, we only need to pay the island's levy fee. It's cheap enough for retribution, around IDR 2,000. The money collected is used for environmental maintenance. In total, I only spent IDR 50,000 for the trip.
Oh yeah, I forgot a bit. This island is uninhabited, it seems that it is deliberately made for tourism. Because the area is not the widest, only one hectare of this island. Although small, the white sand on this island is a tourist attraction. Oh yes, on this island there are several tropical trees. Starting from coconut island, Ketapang, and others. The trees perfect this island.
The waves in this place are not too high, I even think the waves here are quite calm. So, it is very safe for small children. I enjoy playing in the water on this beach. It feels like, if I need some peace, I'll visit this place myself. Oh yeah, for those of you who want to keep working, take it easy. The signal here is very good.
Oh yes, for clean water. It's quite difficult actually. Water for ablution is quite difficult. For bathing, even the water used is salty. To shower, you need to find an adequate toilet or bathroom. Here's my story about a short fun vacation. Are you interested in my story?
I am grateful, I can still enjoy the holidays amid my busy life. Thank you universe and everyone who has invited me for a vacation. See you in the next story. Don't forget to comment and vote. I look forward to the next holiday story.
