September 7th: We left Garut at 8:00 to visit Gunung Papandayan (2662M which is one of the most active volcanoes in West Java. The bubbling yellow crater (Kawah Papandayan) just below the peak is an impressive sight. Halfway between Garut and Tasikmalaya is Kampung Naga, Kampung Naga

September 8th:I reached the Pagandaran National Park through the coastline and bought a ticket for 1000 rp. I also bought a map but it wasn't clear so I joined two other Dutch tourists with a guide. We saw lots of monkeys and some other animals. In the afternoon I stayed on the beach and spent here some time and had a swim. In the evening I had dinner with the Dutch tourists who joined me on the trip from Bogor and had a good massage.

September 9th: I hired a bike in front of the hotel for 3000 rp and went for a ride along the coastline. Pangandaran
