When I was in grade 11, my school organized a school trip to Bali that was attended by all grade 11 students, we all felt happy and hoped that the day would come soon. Because for us being able to visit Bali was an opportunity that didn’t come twice A few months after the notice of the school trip, finally the long-awaited day had arrived, it was time for all of us to go to the place. We all headed to Bali by bus which at that time there were 18 buses, quite a lot for us and it was one of the fun things because it would be exciting if we could learn together
After traveling for almost 1 day where we also used transportation via sea, namely ships to cross the sea, we arrived on the island of Ball. At that time we arrived there at 5 in the morning and we stopped at a place like a rest area to clean up each other and then after we were all done, we moved to a place to eat, there we ate by looking at the beautiful scenery, under the restaurant there was a beautiful beach
Then my friends and I went to the beach after finishing the food, wow the beach is like a hidden beach because not many people know about it, who would have thought that in a place to eat there is a beautiful beach Like most other girls when they see a beautiful view they definitely take pictures or selfies, as well as us, we took a lot of photos together in that place which was also when it was still morning and the air was very fresh, making us linger on the beach until when the teacher called us to come back immediately, because the trip would continue The first tourist destination we visit is Tanah Lot, one of the places of worship for Hindus where there are two temples located on a large rock surrounded by the beautiful waves of the sea that make the attraction of tourists.
In Tanah Lot there is also a holy fresh water spring that flows, tourists can feel the water by washing hands, feet and face en given Bija on the forehead of the tourists and frangipani flowers tucked in the earlobe for the first time trying, the event was very amazing. In addition, Tanah Lot also has a snake called the holy snake, called the holy snake because according to local beliefs, this snake is the incarnation of the holy shawl owned by the priest Dang Hyang Nirartha, who is the founder of Tanah Lot Temple. The snake has black and white colors on its skin and has a flat tail instead of a blunt one. There we saw and were allowed to touch the snake but the body must be pure or not menstruating for women, if you want to see the snake, the snake can only be found in the cave at the Tanah Lot location, and there is a guard in front of the cave who will guide you to see it. We all felt very happy, we learned a lot of new culture here
After seeing around the temple, we did not forget to take a walk to see the surrounding scenery, see the temple from the top and take a break to sit on the chairs provided, while looking around, many foreign tourists visited the place, we also felt proud that Indonesia could be better known by foreigners
After visiting the temple, we visited the Krisna shopping and souvenir place, where my friends and I bought many souvenirs, and various kinds of goods. I bought some wallets and sandals, my friends also bought clothes and other accessories. We spent quite a long time looking at and circling all parts of the place until we felt exhausted. After visiting the shopping center, we ended up at the hotel that we will stay for the next 2 days, after waiting for a long time to get the room key we went straight to our room,
fyi one room is occupied by 4 people, and immediately we cleaned up our luggage and showered in turn, after that we were told by our teacher to take dinner on the first floor of our hotel, with enthusiasm we immediately took food and quickly the food ran out, we returned to the room and it was time to rest, but we were joking and laughing instead of resting. Because we were tired of joking around without a long time we were all fast asleep.
The sun has risen, and we were immediately told to get ready and take breakfast, the tourist destinations that we will visit today are Garuda Wisnu Kencana and Melasti Beach, we are all very excited to visit these places. We were already on the bus and this time we were on the way to GWK after arriving there we lined up to go inside and wow i was amazed, there were towering cliffs accompanied by the magnificent GWK statue, and of course we did not forget to capture the beauty of the trsebut with many photos, not only that, there we were treated to a kecak dance performance, this is also no less interesting, kecak dance is one of the dance pride of the Balinese people, this dance is very typical of its accompaniment, after finishing we went straight back into the bus and continued the journey to Melasti beach. Melasti Beach is very beautiful, the bloe water with white and clean sand is a strong attraction, the road to the beach is also no less beautiful. There we did not play water because it would be complicated to change clothes and would not have time because our time there was only brief, so there were only taking pictures and enjoying the view of the beach. After all the places visited. we returned to the hotel and rested because tomorrow was our last day in Bali
Finally we arrived on our last day in Bali, Today the tour we will visit is a souvenir place Cening Bagus and see the Barong Dance, we leave for the place not too early because after going to the place we will go straight home to our home place so we all have to clean up our stuff first. After cleaning up and showering we took breakfast first then headed to the bus to put our things and leave for the tourist attractions to be visited.
Arriving there we watched the Barong Dance first, we sat on the stands towatch it and the barong dance was very cool, the characters and stories were also interesting, so it didn’t make the audience bored, we all really enjoyed the dance. After that, we were directed to go directly to the Cening Bagus souvenir place, because the souvenir place and seeing the dance were in one place so it didn’t take long to travel, at the souvenir place we bought a lot of goods, because the prices there were cheaper. I bought 3 clothes for souvenirs and some accessories.
Finished from both places, we immediately got into the bus for the trip home, we all went home with a happy feeling but also a little tired, after a few hours through the land roule, then we will cross the sea by ship just like when we left. After returning to the land route, we continued our journey until we arrived at the starting point of our departure, namely at our school, all students immediately got off the bus and headed to their respective pick-ups, we had completed our 3-day trip well and smoothly and retumed home in good health.
