Last week, I and my colleagues went to Bali for three days. We left Soekarno-Hatta airport for Bali by plane. It took one hout forty minute by Merpati airline. One the first day, we visited SMP 1 Denpasar for a comparative study. After lunch we went by bus to Legian beach. There we had boat ride visiting 'Penyu' bay. We saw some big green turtle and some other animals there. In the afternoon we visited Garuda Wisnu Kencana complex in Jimbaran. We enjoyed the giant statue of Wisnu, one of the god in Hindhuism, and a giant bird statue Garuda. The statue supposed to be taller than the Liberty statue in the US. Our first day was ended with dinner by the Jimbaran beach and enjoying the sunset, then we spent the night at Fourteen Roses hotel in Legian. On the second day we had some shopping for souvenir to Sukowati traditional market, visited Kedaton forest in Tabanan, and enjoyed sunset in Tanah Lot. On the way back to the hotel, we had our last dinner in Bali at a Sundanese restaurant. The last day of our visit in Bali, we visited 'Jogger', the Bali iconic T-shirt producer. I bought three T-shirt there then I enjoyed the morning walk at Kuta beach. We did not visit Sanur beach but after all our trip to Bali was unforgettable.
