I remember during my job interview, my boss mentioned that Papua has more public holidays than Jakarta. I never think about that, until last Friday, my colleague asked about my plan for the long weekend.
'Long weekend? What long weekend?' I said.
'Sunday is the 1st day of Pantekosta, and Monday is the 2nd day. All schools and government offices are closed. People go to church and attend mass.' She explained.
The good thing of having a surfer boss is, he always wants to check the tide whenever possible.
So knowing Monday is holiday, he took me to the beach again.
This time, we went to to Pasir Dua Beach.
Took us 10 minutes from Angkasa to get there.
Basically, Pasir Dua is located next to Base G. Then next to Pasir Dua is Pasir Tiga; that is next to Pasir Empat. Right next to Pasir Empat is Pasir Lima; which is of course, next to Pasir Enam. You see, all of these beaches set on one long coastline. People divided them into several and gave each different name.
Same as Skouw, Pasir Dua is located next to a local village. There's no charge applied for entering the beach, but a friendly greet to the locals is advised, as you may park your car at their backyard.
Pasir Dua us a quiet, yet very pretty place. You'll find yourself at peace seeing the pristine white sand beaches, clear blue water and magnificent sky.
