Pangandaran

When we arrived at this beach resort we discovered we were staying at a good hotel complete with it's own pool for two days, so a chance to stay well clear of the bus for a whole 24 hours. Tropical storms in the distance gave entertaining early evening lightning shows and a walk in the local national park whiled away a morning. It was complete with monkeys, deer and....thankfully none of the little creatures beginning with the letter 'L'. As we wandered along the beach on our final evening we saw the local fishermen coming but with what looked like a disappointing catch. The immediate trade in their haul was interesting to witness nonetheless and later Helen sampled some of the fresh catch from a more successful fishing outing.
