So initially, I've long wanted to invite Jenna to the beach. Because all this time Jenna just see the beach from the storybooks alone or Youtube. Had not had time to succeed, it turns out that I was pregnant again, so had to delay my good intentions.
Entering the second semester of pregnancy, the desire to the beach increasingly become, either because of the influence of the prospective baby in the stomach or indeed innate just want to go for a walk. Or is this called cravings?
You see, the pregnant age-old first child I do not think feel cravings. Ah, I do not know. Anyway, before the birth of his sister, Jenna had to enjoy the beach! Because if you already have a baby, certainly not going to be able to walk away again his mother who can not
Finally, my browsing about holiday places in Indonesia, especially around the beaches around Jakarta and affordable by pregnant women. Had also browsing to HIS Travel Indonesia and other Domestic Tour Packages. And the choice fell on the Thousand Islands. But there I think-think again, later ride the boat nausea ya ya .. journey 3 hours so ... Jenna fussy yaa graduation on the ship, usually when going far true fuss stay invited muter-muter, lah, this if fussy on the ship want a muter-muter where? Plus the trip to Muara Angke far better ... can 1 1/2 hour alone. Not to mention when it was the rainy season Jakarta also, the issue of flooding is hot-hot it, right, not funny if not until we already drowning beach first on the road
Because of the various doubts that occurred in the heart, eventually moved the goal so ultimately to Ancol only. And, seeking a good day to go to Ancol, although in fact, this heart is still doubting. Sure enough, a few days before leaving, again I saw a friend's post that made want because he was on one of the beaches in Yogyakarta. Then (again) I changed my mind. Ideas for tourism to Yogyakarta seem more interesting. Because in addition to the beach, Jenna (and also I as his mother) can feel the long-distance train ride and the roads to other attractions are also there. Then I start browsing around holiday stories to Parangtritis Beach.
Finally that night I and my husband arranged an impromptu plan to go to Yogyakarta. Tomorrow morning straight order online train tickets, initially had tried to book a hotel there but finally decided not to stay at the hotel and contact the brother in Yogyakarta in order to ride stay for free (hehe ..). And lastly, take care of the leave letter to the office. Yes, I take a weekday vacation. Because in that month, the weekend is left by chance of a long weekend, and it is certain that all business and executive train tickets that fit the pockets have been booked out.
In short words and stories, I arrived in Yogyakarta on Sunday morning when the tourists who were there were already going home. So the state of Yogyakarta at that time was quite quiet. We headed straight to the residence of siblings in Sleman who are still amazed because suddenly the arrival of 6 months pregnant mother and her husband while carrying a toddler and want to go to the beach.
Again abbreviated, yes, the story. We decided to go to Parangtritis beach resort on Tuesday afternoon.
Why Parangtritis?
which notabene not much different from Ancol and not to lined coast of Gunung Kidul region which he said more attractive to and fro. The reason is simple. Distance. And this waist is not strong if over time motorcycle ride, so yes never mind, that is important to the beach ....
As a natural tourist attraction, the road to Parangtritis Beach was very smooth and quite easy to reach. Stay straight after following the main road. So, it is relatively safe and convenient to visit pregnant people who crave to the beach like me.
And, after passing about 30 km drive from Sleman for about 1 hour by using a stolen motor, eh, mean motor rental (where we rent a motorcycle with tariff Rp.60.000 / day), finally we arrived at the place that had been waiting for- later.
Due to my camera's front camera is not good results, so we use the camera from my husband's phone to selfie.
As expected, Jenna was so nervous about seeing the beach. Immediately he runs, jumps jubilantly, rolling and sand scratching. Paid already all tired to go through to get here as soon as she saw her smile.
Because it was not during the holidays, the condition of Parangtritis Beach is relatively empty. So make it easier for us to find a good spot to take pictures
We played there until 5 pm and decided to go home because the sky was already cloudy. On the beach, there are many bathrooms and toilets where we can clean the sand-sand that must be attached all over the body. The tariff was quite cheap, only 2000 rupiah per person. The trip today closed with a bowl of chicken soup worth Rp8000 that we bought among the row of restaurants that line along the road to Parangtritis Beach.
