Pacitan












Pacitan has been quite a place to getaway for many people at the work. They’ve always talked about it and shared how beautiful this little coastal town is. These frequent stories had become some sort of irony because although I love the beach and the fact that I’ve visited to many beaches in Indonesia, I’ve never been to Pacitan.

Well, after some long thoughts and planning, me and my 10 other friends finally made the way there. The road to Pacitan was not as bad as I thought, in fact it was a short-four-hours-trip. My eyes were feasted with the beautiful view of the southern part of Java landscape with its hills, valleys, woods and rivers.

Pacitan have several different beaches. During our three days visit, we stayed at the main and the longest beach called Teleng Ria. The beach and the waves at Teleng Ria remind me a lot about Bali, sort of. We also visited the other beach which is 30 minutes away from the main one. It was called Srau or the shell beach as what people called. We were surprised and in awe when we got there to see the stunning view in front of our eyes. The white sand, coral, beautiful cliff, blue ocean, it was another feast for the eyes. 

I've put some pictures on this part but I must agree with my friend that sometimes a picture can't describe the beauty of God's creation such as this.
