Holiday in Bali

We had a wonderful holiday in Bali. It was a really great place. The people were friendly, the
food was great, and the weather was a lot better than at home.

Most days were pretty. I swam at the beach two or three times a day, but my brother Fachri
just spent all his time lying on the beach with his eyes closed.

Last Saturday I got on the bus and went to the north of the island, It was much quieter there than
here-very beautiful, but no tourists. The next day we went across to the east coast to see some of
the old villages.

I learned Balinese I couldn’t say much, but it was fun to try. Fachri actually spoke it quite well,
but he was afraid to open his mouth, so I was the one who talked to people.
