Judul: My Trip to Bali
Orientation:
Last summer, my family and I went on a trip to Bali. We had been planning this vacation for months and were excited to finally experience the beautiful beaches and rich culture of the island.
Events:
On the first day, we arrived in Bali and checked into our hotel. The next morning, we woke up early to explore the famous Tanah Lot temple. The view of the temple against the backdrop of the ocean was breathtaking.
After visiting Tanah Lot, we spent the afternoon relaxing on Kuta Beach, where we enjoyed swimming and sunbathing. In the evening, we went to a traditional Balinese dance performance, which was mesmerizing.
The following days were filled with more adventures, from exploring Ubud’s rice terraces to snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of Nusa Penida. Every moment was filled with excitement and wonder.
Re-orientation:
Looking back on our trip, I feel incredibly grateful for the memories we made together as a family. Bali exceeded all our expectations, and I can’t wait to return someday to explore more of its beauty.
