My Holiday in Bali
When I was 2nd grade of senior high school, my friends and I went to Bali. We were there for three days. I had many impressive experiences during the vacation.
First day, we visited Sanur Beach in the morning. We saw the
beautiful sunrise together. It was a great scenery. Then, we checked in to the
hotel. After prepared our selves, we went to Tanah Lot. We met so many other
tourists there. They were not only domestic but also foreign tourists.
Second day, we enjoyed the day on Tanjung Benoa beach. We played
so many water sports such as banana boat, jetsky, speedboat etc. We also went
to Penyu island to see many unique animals. They were turtles, snakes, and sea
birds. We were very happy. In the afternoon, we went to Kuta Beach to see the
amazing sunset and enjoyed the beautiful wave.
The last day, we spent our time in Sangeh. We could enjoy the
green and shady forest. There were so many monkies. They were so tame but
sometimes they could be naughty. We could make a close interaction with them.
After that, we went to Sukowati market for shopping. That was my lovely time. I
bought some Bali T-Shirt and souvenirs.
In the evening, we had
to check out from the hotel. We went back home bringing so many amazing
memories of Bali.
