Temanggung trip>> Pikatan Waterpark

PIKATAN WATERPARK

                Hai guys! I would like to share my experience in Temanggung. This is different with my experience that I wrote before. Here, I’ll show you into a waterpark that well-known in Temanggung. It named “Pikatan Waterpark”. Pikatan waterpark is located at Komplek Pikatan Water Park RT 05/ RW 05, Jl. Raya Pikatan, Mudal, Temanggung, Temanggung Subdistrict, Temanggung Regency, Central Java, Indonesia.

                I spent my long holiday with my bestfriends. So, we travelled to many places. One of them was Pikatan waterpark. I went there with my bestfriends, Agit and Javin. They are my bestfriends since I was elementary school. Beside that, they also my neighbour and 2 boys who have been being believed by my parents. This was our quality time, because we would be apart.

                We went there at afternoon. This was a refreshing day for Agit and me, but Javin had another intend. Javin went to swimming pool to trained his body before he entered to a cruise school. We decided to Pikatan because Pikatan had better facility than other. When we arrived to Pikatan’s parking place, our helmet were asked by an officer and we had to pay for parking, it was about Rp 4000,- including helmet’s storage place. Accidently, Pikatan was crowded because this was holiday. There were so much family who chose this place as a destination when holiday came. We had thought if ticket’s prize would be higher than usually. And we were right. We must pay Rp 20.000,-/person.  

                When we entered there, I felt doubt to swim. I thought that this swimming pool too crowded. There were 4 swimming pools that still active to used. 3 swimming pools were crowded because they were used for general, there were a short pool and 2 middle pools that had depth for about 1,2 meters. While the biggest pool was used for competition, it also the deepest pool and the quiet one among others. Suddenly, Javin invited us (Agit and me) to swim into competition’s pool. I never went there before, because it was too deep for me. I had realized that I had a short body.

                Then we changed our clothes. Agit and Javin went to men’s toilet, and certainly I went to women’s toilet. After I changed my clothes, I went back to the pool, but I couldn’t find them because I didn’t use my glasses. With a blurry eyes, I saw a group of hands that waved into me. But, I thought I saw 4 persons who waved their hands into me. I tried to closer. I would so shy if they weren’t my friends. Alhamdulillah… they were Agit and Javin, but they sat with 2 boys. We looked each other and laughed together. I knew them. They were my neighbours too, but we never met for a long time. One of them was Angga, he was my senior and he were a student of a cruise school. He went to Pikatan since 10.00 a.m. with Fajar, he was my kindergarten’s friend who would enter a cruise school as Javin. I felt shy because I was the one girl among them. Oh noo!! Fortunately, Fajar went to his coach to trained his swimming’s skill. Angga went to other corner to swam alone, because he was the most skilled among us. Finally, we backed into 3 persons anymore. :D

                1,3 meters depth was placed in the left and right side of the pool. 2 meters depth was placed in the middle 1,3 meters depth. We chose 1,3 meters. Javin entered the pool directly. Agit was looked doubt, including me. Agit’s reason was because the water too cold. And my reason was because I had a short body. Javin tried to convicing us. I entered the pool slowly, really slowly with shouted to javin to hold me. I was afraid if I sink into the pool. I wasn’t a skilled swimmer. Apparently, I didn’t sinked, but I had to stand on tiptoes. When Javin let his hand from me, I just hold the stair tightly. Although I was scared in the pool, I challenged Agit to entered the pool. He was doubt at first, then he entered into the pool. He just stayed in the water for about 10 minutes. He said that he felt so cold and went up from the pool. I remembered that he got fever the day before. Then, I let him to went up. After went up, he took his camera and took our pictures. After a few minutes, I successed to adaptation. I tried to swam as usually. I was amazed by 2 little girls who looked skilled to swam. They swam with a cool moved and some types of swimming. Suddenly, Angga came and taught me how to make a long glide. Yeah, I thought that he successed to be my coach. Javin, Angga, and me were in the water for a long time. We talked about so many things around us, especially about cruise school. 

                Javin and Angga went up first, but I prefer to stayed under the cold water. We continued our talking about cruise school then. After that, I went up to the side of the pool. I felt really cold at that moment. However, we sat at the stand of the swimming pool. We took a rest for a few minutes. after we felt enough, we changed our clothes. We came back together at 05.00 pm. There was a habit after we swam. It was eating. Swimming was a tiring activity that made us hungry. Then, we went to Kranggan. There was a meatball store that well-known. That was “Sampoerna”. It served a delicious meatball and many kinds of drinks. I liked ice young coconut or we called es kelapa muda. We ate together and I was the slowest one to eat. Finally, we went back home, but they had to bring me back to my house first. And that day was our last trip as closing trip before we had to be apart.
