My Holiday in Flores
I went to Flores last month. I went
there to visit Australian volunteer English
teacher in Maumere, Ende, and Bajawa. As a
result, I also enjoyed the beauty of the island.
I started my first day in Maumere with
Jo Keating. After visiting several schools in
the city, we took an amazing journey over
the mountains to the south coast. We visited
a new junior high school there. Then, I
traveled to Ende to meet Sharon Kidman.
Ende has a great market with a lovely
selection of traditional woman ikat cloth, and
great seafood.
My next trip was to Detosoko. It is a
mountain village. I went there with Ginny
Edwards. Detusoko is not far from Mount
Kelimutu. We woke up at 4 am to see the tree
different coloured lakes it dawn. It was truly
inspiring.
My final trip was to Bajava. It is small
town high in the mountains. It was a very
cold place. Yet my trip was fun and
memorable. I would like to go back to Flores
one day.

Holiday. Then, answer question.
My Holiday
Last week I went to Moutn Bromo. I
stayed at my friends house in Probolinggo, East
Java. The house has a big garden with colourful
flowers and a small pool.
In the morning, my friend and I saw
Mount Batok. The scenery was very beautiful.
We rode on horseback. It was scary, but it was
fun. Then, we went to get a closer look at the
mountains. We took pictures of the beautiful
scenery there. After that, we took a rest and
had lunch under a big tree. Before we got
home, we went to the zoo at Wonokromo. We
went home in the afternoon.
We were very tired. However, I think it
was really fun to have a holiday like this. I hope
my next holiday will be more interesting.
