Bali Journal

Hey man, here i am back in this blog to share something. And now i'm gonna tell you about my school trip or likely called as TOUR BUDAYA (turbud). Its like the best moment that you have in high school man. Its what all of us waiting for. And this is the story of us!

Finally, the day has come! I’m so excited, I think not only me, but also every single man of us. We went to Surabaya by train. First, we were gathered at Kebon Kawung Station at about 4.30 pm. Because I am a crew of turbud so I should have briefing first. We left Bandung at about 8pm. In the train, me and my classmates play a card games with tour leaders, it’s such a funny games.

After that, we continued the trip,  and then went to Ketapang harbour. In the way to Ketapang, we saw the biggest electricity source for Java and Bali in Paiton, Banyuwangi. We didn’t think if that place were not function well, Java and Bali would be dark at night,and we couldn’t use electricity anymore. And we arrived at Gilimanuk Harbour, then we went to hotel nirmala denpasar and arrived at about 2 a.m WITA.

Tanjung Benoa was the first place that we visit. There were many water sport offered. Mostly, the group went to Pulau Penyu, we went there by boat and cost Rp50.000 each member. The journey to pulau penyu was about 20 minutes, on the way to pulau penyu , we saw mangrove and many garbage. I hated to see garbage in such the beautiful vacation destination. And also, enjoying a ball of a coconut.

After we have lunch at Tanjung Benoa, we went to Pudjamandala. Pudjamandala is places of worship, there’s 5 different religion there. We went there for praying. Now we’re going to Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK), my team has prepared a game for the participants, it called ‘Instant Cash’. It involved a class to win this game, they should find 6 clues and figured that out to a sentences. We gave 60 minutes to play and the winner were able to figured the answer out in 30 minutes. After running out that game, all of us took a picture. And each class did it too. Then there was 20 minutes free time before we watched ‘Tari Kecak.’ In 6 p.m we moved to saw ‘Tari Kecak.’

Our dinner was some great Jimbaran seafood. Despite being a night, it was really crowded. We had to wait a bit for our food but the wait was worth it. The barbecued fish, clams and shrimp, and sambal kang kong were delicious. Another thing - the restaurant was not too honest, they overweight the seafood. It made us upset for a while but the delicious seafood had somehow comforted Then, we had a karaoke time! All of us come to the front approaching the stage. Karaoke, Dance, and I think it was happiest night ever.

Second day in Bali! This day, not too much places we visit. First, we went to Desa Adat Penglipuran, it’s not a long time we spent there, we just took some picture there. Then we have lunch at Puncak Batur Kintamani, it’s very beautiful place, we can see beautiful scenery there. After that, we went to Sukowati, there we can buy some souvenir, then we went back to hotel to prepare for the night because there would be MAKRAB32015! Finally, Makrab started at 7p.m. there’s some performance there.

Last days, we went to Pandawa Beach. I was very impressed, there were no trash, no traders, it was very clean. With blue ocean, canoes, it was the best beach I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, we just had 30 minutes there, because we get a quick flight schedule and we still have to go shopping in Khrisna to buy souvenirs for family and friends. And after that, we went to the airport.

And its all over, thanks for 2015 to give such a beautiful vacation at bali. thats all from me, thank you.
