EXPERIENCE 3

On 2 July 2008, we held a school holiday to Bali. We were ready to have a trip to the island of Bali . There are 4 buses filled with students. Each bus has 5 teachers as coordinator for the care of students . We went to the island by ferry. We arrived at the port of Gilimanuk an hour later. The journey continues to Tabanan. We reached Tabanan at 06:00. The teachers and students have the opportunity to pray Fajr. On the first day in Bali, we had breakfast and a shower in Kertalangu. After that we went shopping at Cahayu and Sukawati. Then we continued our tour to Tanjung Benoa and Garuda Wisnu Kencana ( GWK ). We watched the Kecak dance. We are very pleased to see them dance live strong. The second day we spent the morning at Sanur Beach. We plan to enjoy the sunrise. But unfortunately, the clouds blocked the sun. So we could not see the sunrise. We left Sanur and fell in Joger. Joger is a place that we can some famous souvenirs. Then we continued to enjoy Lake Beratan Bedugul. After that we spent the entire afternoon at Tanah Lot. But once again we were not disappointed. Clouds blocked the sun, so we could not see the sunset. Finally, we finished the tour. We returned to Jember on Saturday night. We were very tired but we were still quite happy because we enjoy the island without any disturbance.
