My brother, sisters and I want to spend our holiday in Bali. We had a planning of this trip since last week of August 2008. On holiday, It was the last week of December 2008. We started the trip. Each of us drove the car at least three hours. We Left Solo on Saturday afternoon. We also didn’t forget to bring our camera. On Sunday morning we arrived in Gilimanuk. We would take a rest at my uncle’s house for one day. We could see a monkey in my uncle’s house, he liked take care of monkey. He also had some rabbits and hamsters. When we arrived at his house, my uncle’s family had prepared breakfast. We had rice and “Ayam Betutu”; really It was very hot but delicious.

In Monday we went to Denpasar. First we visited “Sanur” beach. As it was still early in the morning we could see the sunrise. We also prayed some moment on the  sand then we looked for a hotel because we have no relative who stayed there.

On that day we also visited “Kuta” beach, “Garuda Wisnu Kencana” and also “Sukawati” market. We had our lunch on the way when we felt hungry. At night we also enjoyed “Barong” dance. Something that we never forgot was taking pictures at any tourist resort.

On the last day we visited “Sangeh”, where we could see many monkeys. Many of them are still wild and they sometimes bite visitor, from here we went straight to “Bedugul” lake, we went around it by a small boat to see some temples at the other side. Unfortunately, it was raining so hard that we all so wet. We changed our clothes there because we could also buy clothes at WHT shop near the lake. Really it was so wonderful that I promise I want to visit Bali again next time.
