I vacationed in Pangandaran (people said tokyo in Indonesia) with my family and my cousin's family, all eight people. We are lucky to be able to book a beachfront inn on a school vacation. Usually, the accommodation is full.
From Bandung, the trip takes about 5½ hours. We left on Thursday afternoon so we wouldn't get stuck in traffic. The time shows at 12:00 a night when we arrived at the inn. Because we were tired, we went to bed.
On Friday, we woke up early to see the sunrise on the East Coast of Pangandaran. After that, we sat on the beach to enjoy the waves and the sea breeze while seeing fishermen looking for fish in the sea and returning to land carrying catches.

Because it was still early morning, we went to the Fish Auction Place on the East Coast. Here, traders sell fresh caught fish that day. After taking many photos, we rested for lunch at a seafood restaurant. We ordered grilled fish with sambal, lalaban and white rice. Very delicious.
On Saturday, the last day of our holiday, we went to a nature reserve where ancient Hindu kingdom ruins, temples and ancient tombs were built. Continue to go to the Japanese Cave and Panggung Cave to see the stalagnite. It was late afternoon when we had to go back to the inn.
Sunday, the last day to go home. Before going home, we bought handicrafts and typical Pangandaran food to take home
Finally, at 11:00 a.m., we returned to Bandung.
An impressive vacation.
