Utflykt
Igår så hyrde vi vespa för första gången tillsammans med Ian och Simon och begav oss norr ut. Vi åkte först till Black sand beach som var lite av en besvikelse. Bilderna vi såg innan visade en svart sandstrand men när vi kom dit så såg den mest ut som en vanlig strand, fast smutsig. Vi stannade och åt vid Pantai kok som hade en jätte fin strand och maten var jätte bra. Därifrån så åkte vi sedan vidare mot en linbana som tar en 700 meter upp och med en helt oslagbar utsikt.
