Halo... it's been a while since my latest post. My days were full of to-do tasks so that, I didn't have an enough time to write any post.
In this AOE, I'm gonna tell you about the experience of touring to Pangandaran beach, Batu Karas beach, and Curug Ciwatin (waterfall).
Our touring began from me and my friend who had an idea of having a cheap traveling in spending our holiday. Our first plan was to travel to Semarang by bike in 1 week, but due to our time limit, we changed it to having a trip to Pangandaran by bike in 3 days. The crew consisted of me, my colleagues; Yosep, Ama, and Santi (2 boys and 2 girls).
Began at 25th of May 2014 from Bandung, we planned to departure on 5 a.m to Pangandaran but it didn't happen as one of us woke up late. Ama woke up on 6 a.m which later made her embarass for herself. Although it's something that could mess our plan up, we didn't really take that seriously. At last we had our departure happily. We didn't go through an ordinary way but passed through South-beach way which is a suburb district.

Extraordinary girls haha..
Pray is a must everywhere we go
We went through some various extreme weathers from freakin' hot to the rain. Bring some raincoats and sandals is a must when you have some traveling or touring. When you are tired of riding a bike, switch your position with your friend or get some rest. We had a lunch and got few hours rest at Yosep's home which is in Sodong, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya. We continued our journey to Pangandaran after that.
Arrived in Pangandaran on 9 p.m, we searched for a bungalow to stay and got a Rp.200.000 bungalow per night after bargaining. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 living rooms plus TV, 1 kitchen, and 1 bathroom. All those things were just ignored as we were dying due to our 15 hours-tired-trip. (Note: Pangandaran entrance fee is Rp.15.000 per bike)
Finally, We arrived here

Rent this 4-driver-bicycle to ride around Pangandaran for Rp.20.000 an hour

We just spent a short time in Pangandaran beaches. At 26th of May 2014, 11 a.m, we went away from Pangandaran and planned to visit "Green Canyon", a place where we can see a great nature view from boat. Unfortunately, the river just turned too muddy due to a big rain at the previous night and it cancelled our plan. So, we just moved forward to a real-wonderful-beach I've ever seen in Java island called Batu Karas beach. (Note: Common entrance fee is Rp.7.500 per bike but we bargained it like Rp.10.000 per 2 bikes.)

After had a great time at Batu Karas beach, we headed to Santi's house at Cikatomas, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya to spend a night there. We had to pass through an ugly track before arrive there. That's an awesome touring experience I have.

We ended our touring at 27th of May 2014 in Bandung. It was such a great-short-holiday for us. We just spent like approximately Rp.200.000 for each person including transport fee, bungalow fee, food and drink, entrance fees, and so on; and also thanks to Yosep and Santi's family who gave us some accommodations. Actually, there were still some more experience that I haven't mentioned yet such as We had to find a periphery road to avoid a police operation due to lack of our friend's drive license, we planned to visit "Kampung Naga" (a traditional place without modernization), and many more.
That's all of my touring story to Pangandaran, Batu Karas, and Curug Ciwatin. I hope you'all enjoy it. Thank you.
