My Holiday

Last month, I went to Pari island with my big family. That was my second time to travel there. I did not remember my first time because I was still three years old.

Our boat departed from Muara Angke port to the island at 7 a.m. We arrived at Pari island in two hours. After that, we went to our guest house that we booked two months ago. When we got there, almost all family members were busy unpacking. I just sat in front of the guest house and did nothing. Then I realized that it was still 10 a.m. So, I went out to rent a bicycle. My brother did not want to join me because he went to sleep. He said that it was too shiny to do snorkeling.

We finally had lunch at 1 p.m. I was so hungry after cycling for about an hour, and did not have any snacks. After lunch, my brother said that he wanted to go snorkeling. But my parents said it was too hot. Well, it was 2 p.m. It turns out, they were right. It was still hot outside.

But my brother insisted on doing it. He then asked me and our cousin Dodi to join him to do the thing he really wanted to do by the time we arrived there. It was snorkeling. Dodi agreed and pushed me to join.

I did not know why I agreed to join them. When we went snorkeling, the fisherman who became our guide brought us to the beach far enough from our guest house. We went snorkeling there. The water was very clear. We could see groups of tiny fishes and beautiful coral under the sea. After snorkeling cheerfully for approximately three hours, we returned to our guest house.

When we were home, I realized that my back was so itchy. At first, I did understand why. After my mother found out, she started to nag at me. It was sunburnt. I did not enjoy the rest of the other days staying there.

In summary, my second trip to Pari island was not really better than my first. I would like to visit this place again together with my family in another chance. But, I would not do snorkeling at 2 a.m. for three hours anymore.
