experiences during the vacation.

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. Local people there were so polite and very
friendly, they were very talkative about their culture and custom.
Second day, we enjoyed the day on Tanjung Benoa beach. We played so many water sports such as banana
boat, jet sky, 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
monkeys. 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.
