9.45 a.m. However, we could not go directly to Denpasar. Our plane had to stop at Jakarta, then we took
another plane to Denpasar. Actually, we could go through Surabaya which was closer to Denpasar.
However, my father could not get the tickets to Surabaya. That’s why we decided to go through Jakarta,

minibus and went to Tanjung Benoa harbour. From Tanjung Benoa, we took a boat to go to Nusa Penida

Balinese village life there. After that we snorkeled in the sea. Wow, the fish and coral were amazing! Late in
the evening we went back to our hotel in Denpasar.
We spent the third day by shopping in Sukowati. My mom bought a lot of Balinese clothing. I
bought a small painting for my room. My sister decided to buy some necklaces made of shells. She wanted
to share them with her friends. My father didn’t buy anything. Finally, we flew back to Semarang in the
afternoon.
