the example of recount text

I spent my last holiday in Karimunjawa, Central Java with my friends.

On the first day, I arrived at Karimunjawa Harbor at 10.00 after a 12 hour trip with a bus and ferry boat. After I arrived, I decided to take a shower and rest for a while.

Then, I followed a trip with our guide to explore a few islands around Karimunjawa.

On the next morning, we went snorkeling and explore more islands.

We had fun, we also ate good food. On the last day, I went shopping for some souvenirs.

After that, I went to the harbor at 11.00. We arrived in Bandung at 23.00.

I had a wonderful experience in Karimunjawa.

It was the best trip of my life.
