Hellow Steemit Fellows😉
to the sun
This is a story of our third day in Special Region of Yogyakarta. The main mission had accomplished that sunday morning (2/9/2018), we have interviewed and record our source person for the documentary video. We supposed to go back to Pamulang, but it's been sometimes we've never visited the beach, so while waiting for the video transfers, we decided to find another hotel near to Malioboro Street and then going south😊
first stop is Depok Beach
It's sunday, what do you expect if you took a trip to a popular tourist destination? Traffic😂 an hour and half to reach the south part of Yogyakarta by car, I have my nap peacefully😊 but woke up when we reach the gates to pay for our entry tickets, 10k each head.
Depok Beach is a place where you can buy fishes and asked the seller to fry or grill the fishes on site, whether you eat it there or take it home. We're not allowed to swim at this place, it's to dangerous, the tide is high, besides.. we're not there to swim anyway. We want to enjoy the sound of the waves and the breeze.
fresh natural coconut's water is the best choice in the hot day at the beach, isn't it?
The coconuts we ordered are the biggest coconut I ever seen 😨 I think its contains more than 1000 ml😂 the taste is sweet and fresh without any sugar added or ice cube. It must be so strange that we ordered 2 coconuts 😂 and I love coconut's water so much, I drank it till drain but hubby gave up after some sips and asked me to pay then we left.
this beach is ready for visitors, if you can't swim then you still have many choices like having a picnic, shopping and taking selfie in many photo booths by paying 5k IDR
We continued our mission to reach Parangkusumo Beach, Agus our driver is a ver friendly, He told us all about alternatives tourism attraction that we can try to have fun😊 such as Sand Surfing or jeep adventure to Puncak Becici. No, we didn't attracted to that kind of adventure but... yeaah😂 Flower Garden in the middle of sand's piles more excited for me.
though it's only celosias, sunflowers and cosmos, attractive colours
Good news is you can buy seeds or flower plants if you want to and for sunflowers lover (me😊) and a dedicated gardener for his wife😄 we bought sunflowers seeds and celosias seeds as souvenirs.
I could spent the whole afternoon till sunset at the flower garden, but I remember our destination still the beach😁. So off we went, no more distraction and straight to the beach in 5 minutes.
* we choose a quite not too crowded part, near to the souvenirs market and enjoy the atmosphere*
This is my second time to be at the Parang Tritis Beach😊 my first visited was in 1994 with a group of Animal Husbandry Students from many universities all over Indonesia. The beach has its myths, you are not allowed to wear green clothes here😯 so I took off my outer green batik though it's not so green anymore but I just following my mind😆 that dress not really good on me 😂 and you can read more about parangtritis beach.
do you know what is that I point at?
What about swimming at the beach 😉 We'd better not do that when the sun is going to set soon😊 so, we just strolling around and taking picture of a daddy playing sand burial with her daughter, some people do meditation, friend taking picture of friend, lovers talking to each other, some people enjoy the horse cart riding, motor riding and fishing😂.
who left this on the beach?
Well.. parangtritis also popular for its supernatural issues, but we'd better not talking about it here. I spotted flowers bud along the parangkusumo beach part. Red roses and Cananga Ordata, empty perfume bottle, banana leaf and jelly fish!
look at the man who was fishing😎
What a lovely afternoon☺ aahh.. in case you take your child to the beach and hard to take care of them while swimming, don't worry. There's a pool for children near to the rest room.
heeyyyy.. the water is warm😉
The beach is open for 24 hours at the weekend, many hotels and homestay cottage available with affordable price too. But the sun is set and we need to go back to our hotel😊 I have an appoinment to meet a family of friend who have been living in Jogja for a year, the husband is taking his master degree at Gajah Mada University. So after taking more pictures and careless position to make a touching the sun photos😂😂 the phone was sucking the sand through its battery charging hole. We left the beach happily and satisfied. We have reached the south, east, west and north side of Jogja. Next mission is Shopping!
these are dead bamboos
the reason why my phone got in trouble😅
