Holiday in Pasir Kencana Beach

Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes
to Pasir Kencana Beach, which is only five kilometers from where I live. When we arrived at the
beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.

After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there
were not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we bought some hot chips at the
takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of
the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down the
beach.

Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while,
and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly
dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.

When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned
some good lessons that day.

 My Holiday in Bali

When I was 2nd grade of senior high school, my friends and I went to Bali. We were there for
three days. I had many impressive experiences during the vacation.

First day, we visited Sanur Beach in the morning. We saw the beautiful sunrise together. It was a
great scenery. Then, we checked in to the hotel. After prepared ourselves, we went to Tanah Lot.
We met so many other tourists there. They were not only domestic but also foreign tourists.

Second day, we enjoyed the day on Tanjung Benoa beach. We played so many water sports such
as banana boat, jet sky, speedboat etc. We also went to Penyu island to see many unique animals.
They were turtles, snakes, and sea birds. We were very happy. In the afternoon, we went to Kuta
Beach to see the amazing sunset and enjoyed the beautiful wave.

The last day, we spent our time in Sangeh. We could enjoy the green and shady forest. There
were so many monkeys. They were so tame but sometimes they could be naughty. We could
make a close interaction with them. After that, we went to Sukowati market for shopping. That
was my lovely time. I bought some Bali T-Shirt and souvenirs.

In the evening, we had to check out from the hotel. We went back home bringing so many
amazing memories of Bali.

 Camping

Last holiday, my friends and I went camping on the mountain. We went to Guci, Tegal. The spot
is near from our town. It is about 2 hours to get there. We choose Guci because it is not too far
from settlement.

We prepared everything before going on camping. The boys prepared the tents, the girls prepared
the food, and I checked the accommodations. We brought cooking utensils and the food from
home, clothes, camera, guitar, etc. We went there by a car and a motorcycle for unwanted
condition. We went there in the sunny morning and hoped no rain during camping.

On the first day, we sat up the tent on the spot near waterfall. The girls made the fence of the
area but the boys took a bath on the river. Then, we cooked the food for the lunch, had lunch
together, tried to fish in the river but we got a sandal.

On the second day, we had some activities. We went on hiking up the mountain, took some
pictures in tea garden, and picked strawberry. The last night of our camping was so cold, we
made a campfire, sang song together and told spooky stories which made us fear.

We had camping for about three days. On the last day, we packed everything we bought. we
cleaned the area and made sure there was nothing left except our footprint. We didn’t took
anything except took photos, we remembered that we must keep the nature, friendly with them
and they will be friendly with us. We made a memory by taking photos together in front of a
waterfall and then went home happily. We felt very tired.
