Dear Renita,
Last holiday, my friend and i visited Ponorogo in East Java. Ponorogo is a small
city, but it is very natural and beautiful. We spent the night at a villa in Jetis. On
the first day, we visited Prigi southern beach. We watched the amazing views of
the sea and the white waves. We grilled fish and had “Nasi Pecel” for lunch. On
the secobd day, we visited “Dongko” mountain resort. There were a lot of

pictures for you.
