My Holiday in Bali

Last holiday, I went to Bali with my family. We went there by plane. It was my first time flying, and I was so excited. When we arrived, we went straight to Kuta Beach. The beach was very beautiful, and we played in the water.

The next day, we visited Tanah Lot. The temple was amazing, and we took many pictures. In the afternoon, we tried some Balinese food. I really loved the satay lilit. It was so delicious!

On the last day, we bought some souvenirs before going to the airport. I was very happy with this trip, and I hope to visit Bali again someday.
