Have you ever revisited a destination more than once?

There are some places that I visited multiple times just because one visit isn’t enough. There are too many things to do, see, and experience in that particular place which is mostly the reason I am going there a couple of times. I can name a few islands, cities and places that I visited more than once and want to visit again. When I visit these places, I always get a new experience. So, let me know in the comment section if you have any destination that you love to visit more than once!

And last Saturday, I was visiting a bay called Prigi which boasts its sandy white beach along the southern coast of Java. Unlike its surrounding beach and bay, this one is unique as the others have darker sand with stronger waves whereas this one though quite rocky, has much calmer waves that enable anyone to swim and discover its lively underwater scene. You can also check out my visit to this place in September when it was misty and heavy rain was pouring down all over the area.

Reaching this place was quite a drive. It took around 5 hours from where I was to get into that place. It feels quite annoying that it’s such a beautiful day but anything that screams outdoor and natural activities are at least 4-7 hours away from me. I thought by going home, I would have an easier time finding anything natural and things to do which don't have anything to do with skyscrapers or urban activities . But alas, even Bangkok still offers more free greenery space than the place I am living.

Going on a Saturday was also a bad idea. I generally avoid going to places on the weekend because there are just too many people and I don’t like that. In retrospect, I don’t know why I went there on a Saturday when I could have waited for Monday or Tuesday when places are much calmer and less people are in the place. But anyhow, my goal at that time was to swim at the beach as it has been a while and at the same time, I need vitaminSea. So, maybe after all it wasn't a bad idea going on a Saturday.

After 5 hours inside the car going through damaged roads, I was slightly disappointed as all I saw was rocks and the tide was low. It was definitely once again not the perfect timing to come to this beach but knowing I paid the fees just to enjoy the beach, I have to make my money’s worth. On another note, I hate how everything in this country is extremely commercialized. You can’t really enjoy the beach, the mountain and even just some rice fields without paying. There are always ticketing fees and this wasn’t a thing in the past. Though in the end, I had a good time.

My mom and I walked through the rocky areas and we flipped rocks to find something beneath the rocks. We saw tiny colorful fishes as well as a lot of tropical mollusks, crabs and sea snails. There were plenty of boats from tourists to fishing boats. Some were docked but some were sailing with tourists on board. Since I already did the boat tour, I didn’t do it again. I also saw banana boats but since I was only with my mom, I reckon, it wasn't worth it nor really fun to do.

After walking through the rocky side, my mom and I walked further where we spotted some families swimming. I ended up swimming around with them and though it was less rocky, my toe kept hitting the beach rocks that were invisible to my eyes.

Then I heard an announcement that reminded us not to swim too far away as it could be dangerous. So I went back to the shore and just enjoyed the waves from there. It was really fun and changed my mood a little. My mom didn't swim but she walked around and collect rocks. She likes collecting rocks from the beach we visited as a memorabilia. I just let her do what she wanted while I am lounging waiting for the waves to drag me to the shore.

After a while, I ended up getting bored and walked through the rocky side again and flipped more rocks and found even more interesting sea creatures that I don’t know the name of. It looks pretty slimy and when you touch it, the slimy creatures squirm.
Let me know if you know the name of this sea creature!

In the end, we were happy that we got to see the beach again. It was also nice to experience the beach when it’s not raining outside and sunny out there. At least, I got refreshed and got to swim, as well as take pictures with my camera as it has been really a while. Sometimes, all you need is just a trip away to the beach, getting away from the exhausting and demanding city life.
