Dear Sally,
Last holiday, my friends and I visited Ponorogo in East Java. Ponorogo is a small city, but it is very

beach. We watched the amazing views of the sea and the white waves. We grilled fish and had “Nasi
Pecel” for lunch. On the second day, we visited “Dongko” mountain resort. There were a lot of plants,

and the prices are cheap.
