3. MY HOLIDAY IN BALI
Last month, my cousins and I went to Bali. Before we went to Bali, we prepared
everything we needed. After that, we went to airport and fly with the plane to Bali. We arrived
at Bali two hours later. We went down from the plane and called a taxi to bring us to our hotel.
When we arrived at the hotel, we checked in and directly went to our room and slept.
The first day, we went to Kuta Beach and played in the water for a hour. I swam in the
water while my cousins built many sand castles. After we were tired playing in the beach, we
went to restaurants to eat seafood. One hour later, we went back to the hotel.
The second day, we visited many temples. I did not remeber their names, but they are so
amazing. We took many pictures in the temples. We also bought some miniatures of the
temples.
The last day, we went shopping at Jogger. We bought many clothes and souvenirs or our
family and friends at home. After we were tired shopping, we went back to the hotel and
packed our clothes. We went to the airport and flied ack to our city. We called a taxi to brought
us home.
I t was a very fantastic holidays for me and my cousins. We felt so happy and we would not
forget that holiday.
