Vacation With My Beloved Family

The last holiday was a funny day for us because I and my family visited a beautiful beach. The name of the beach is Nampu beach. It is located on South of Wonogiri. It is about 80 kilometers from the down town.

Before we started to go there, we prepared many things in the morning. We brought some foods and beverages, such as fried rice, omelet, fried chicken, chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice. We didn’t forget about the swimsuit, umbrella, and fishing rod. Before going to the beach, I ask my friends, Doni and Budi, to join us going to the beach. At 7.30 a.m. we started to go to the beach. We went there by car. It needs about 1,5 hours to reach it. When we were already 15 minutes journey, my mother remembered something. She forgot to bring her pocket that prepared before. So, my father came back to the house to take the pocket and the journey was continued. On the way to reached there, I, my brother, and my friends sang a songs and my mother was fast asleep. After the 60 minutes journey, we felt some shocks caused by the broke down of the road. So, my father slowed down the car’s speed. It was need 45 minutes longer to reach the location.

At 9.45 a.m. we arrived in the location. Then, we bought tickets in the entrance the beach. When we entered on the shore, we interested to see the panoramas around it. The sea looked blue combine with green from the coconut trees along the coastline made us overawed (kagum). After we were finished to enjoy the panoramas, we prepare our tools that used to do some activities on there. I and my friends wanted to swimming.  Before swimming, we changed our clothes first. Besides that, my parent was sunbathing in the shore and my brother fishing near the rock bound. When I and my friends swum, we saw the ship throws away the waste from the factory. It caused the water color turn into dark brown. It was also caused the stench around the sea. So, we decided to swim on the other place of the beach. At 11 a.m. we felt so hungry, so, we decided to eat the foods that we had brought before. After we finished our lunch, we decided to go home. So, I and my friends took a bath to clean our body, while my parents and my brother packed many things that we brought before. When we finished cleaning our body, we went to the parking area as soon as possible to find the car. On the way home, we slept because of the tiredness. We arrived at home at 5 o’clock.

That was a very exhausting day, but I felt so happy that I could have a holiday with my family and my friends.

My Beautiful Garden

In my backyard, there is a beautiful place to see. It is my lovely garden. The location of the garden is between my house and my field. Actually this garden is not too large. It is about 40 meters square.

In my garden, there are so many plants lived on there. Sri Rejeki, Frangipani, and some kinds of Anthurium are placed on the coloring pots because when I am looking at these plants, they look so fresh in my eyes. The pots are arranged so well so they look beautiful. Besides that, the green from the leaves mixed with coloring pot will make good impression for someone who seen my garden. Some other plants such as ferns and orchids are placed on the black rough wall. They look so interesting and make natural impression. The colour of the orchid flowers are also fresh my mind if I am feeling so tired.

On the other side, there is a medium pond on the center of my garden. This pond is not so deep so we can see many bream such as Koi and Goldfish swim hither and thither. In the middle of the pond, there is a small fountain coloured white. I usually clean the pond once a week in order to keep the water clean (ini kayak report gak ??.nek iya d hpus n dig anti aj). Around of the pond, some beautiful grasses lived. This grass can’t grow tall therefore these grasses look neat.

On the top of the pond, there is a little bridge that connects one side of the pond to another. This bridge is made from bamboo and is arranged neatly with the rattan. Although it is made from bamboo, it is sturdily built. We also can see the fishes in the pond with the other view. It is also nice to take a photograph scene because the background will support the photos.

The garden has a special place which is used for getting together with my family. The place looks like a hut with some simple ornaments around them. The name of this place is Gazebo. I and my family usually sit together on Sunday morning after work. The air around the gazebo is cool and fresh so it will erase tired and recharge our energy. The plant from around of gazebo also makes the feeling better and brings the spirit back to face the days.
