My Unforgettable Holiday
Last year, I had an unforgettable holiday with my family. We went to Bali
for five days. It was my first time visiting the island, and I was so excited to
explore its beauty.
On the first day, we visited Kuta Beach. The white sand and the blue
ocean were stunning. I tried surfing for the first time, and although I fell
many times, it was an amazing experience. In the evening, we enjoyed a
beautiful sunset while eating seafood at a beachside restaurant.
The next day, we visited Ubud to see the rice terraces and monkey
forest. The view of the rice fields was breathtaking, and I loved the peaceful
atmosphere there. We also bought some traditional souvenirs at the local
market.
On the third day, we went to Tanah Lot, a famous temple on a rock by
the sea. The scenery was incredible, and I took lots of pictures. The waves
crashing against the rocks made the view even more dramatic.
Our holiday ended too quickly, but it was an experience I will always
treasure. Bali is truly a wonderful place, and I hope to visit it again someday.
