On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is not far from Malioboro.

On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and Syiwa temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.

On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur gate would be closed.

In the evening we left for Jakarta by wisata bus.

Vacation to Indrayanti Beach

Last weekend, I and my family went to Indrayanti Beach to spend our holiday. We went there with our own car.

The route to Indrayanti Beach is very zigzagged and its very quiet in the middle of the night. I and my family almost got lost since we had never been there before, but eventually we got there safely. We nearly couldn’t get a room to stay overnight because it was a long weekend and it was not easy to find available rooms. We got up early in the morning so that we could enjoy the sunrise landscape by the beach. My brother was playing with white sand with my sister while I took their picture.

A day at Indrayati Beach felt so short, we were quite tired from playing for a whole day, but we were very happy.

Last week, l went to the lake for fishing. It was the suitable time for fishing because I had nothing to do. I went there with my friends.

Arriving at the lake, I directly went to the best spot to get a giant fish. It was under the big tree at the bank of the lake. I threw my hook as far as I could then I waited for the fish eating my bait. It had been 15 minutes and I finally saw the sign that there was a fish eating my bait. I tried to pull it up and I succeeded. I got a three kilogram fish.

I got so many fish that day even though I was so tired. I was so excited. I think I will visit the spot again in the next holiday.

We had a wonderful holiday in Bali.

It was a really great place. The people were friendly, the food was great, and the weather was a lot better than at home.

Most days were pretty. I swam two or three times a day, but my brother Fachri just spent all his time lying on the beach with his eyes closed.

Last Saturday I got on the bus and went to the north of the island, It was much quieter there than here–very beautiful, but no tourists. The next day we went across to

the east coast to see some of the old villages.

I learned Balinese–I couldn’t say much, but it was fun to try.

I cannot forget it because that’s unforgettable experience for me.
