Holiday in Pasir Kencana Beach
Last
week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we
rode our bikes to Pasir Kencana Beach, which is only five kilometres
from where I live. When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to
see there was hardly anyone there.
After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down the beach.
Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.
When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some good lessons that day.
Secara umum ciri-ciri recount sebagai berikut.
