hayhayahaayyyyy. today i want to tell you about my wonderful overland trip
soo, in the middle of march, i went to bali-java with all my classmates and it was totally awesome. how cant?!
FIRST DAY
i woke up at 3 (i actually didnt sleep) and took a bath and went over
to my school. and 2 bus were waiting us. after waiting for
another-things-which-are-not-useful,we finally departed from our lovely
hideous school (lol) to go to the God’s island, Bali. *yeay*
we arrived there on the next day and as you read, yes. we slept in
the bus on our way to Bali. interesting isnt it? and as you know we went
there by bus. yes, we crossed the sea to bali by a ferry. and it was
terribly cool.
SECOND DAY
CROSSING TIMEEEEE!!! the ferry is waiting for us. (and the bus
actually). we went into the ferry and we just came out from the bus and
go to the deck to see the beautiful scenery and yes, it’s so beautifully
gorgeous.
after we crossed the the strait, yeah. we finally arrived in
BALI. it’s dark already and we continue our trip to the hotel and we
finally arrived at the hotel at 8 p.m and had a dinner immediately.
after that, we went in to find our room. my room is 305 which is the
best room ever. i mean, it’s not really small, pretty cool and it’s not
too far because it’s located in the middle of the corridor. so i liked
it so much.
THIRD DAY
we started our trip to GALUH. it is a souvenir shop and it has a
traditional balinese house inside. we went there guided by balinese
people and my guide was Bli Agus (Bli means Mr.). he told us about
Balinese house in general and about Barong dance which is really
awesome. after seeing such a good stuff in Galuh, we went to another
section to watch Barong dance. and unluckily, there were another
students and they will watch Barong dance too. well, it was actually
great tht we met them, but i thought it was too crowd. having 3
different schools with us and we were like, “oh hello there” but they
were like “hi, but i dont care” and yeah. i didn’t like that one. after
watching a beautiful attraction, we continued our trip to go to…..i
forgot. oh, we went to KINTAMANI HILLS for lunch! and it was soooo
amazing.

see? told you so. we had a spooky lunch here but it was great. after
lunch, we were allowed to take some pics and then the rain ruined it
all. and then we got into the bus and continued to Tirta Empul Temple.
here, in tirta empul, you’ll find 13 little waterfall, it’s not a
waterfall actually, it looked like…a stream. buit not like a stream,
like a shower. lets just say it was looked like a shower. you’re not
allowed to got into this temple if you’re on your period, or your one of
your relaitive was dead for about 2 weeks ago, or if you had a 3months
baby. i don’t know the exact reason, but as i heard, Bali, as you know
is a God’s island so its place is full of spirit and Gods who will
protect and stay in that place. and temples, as you know, are God’s
house and we have to be clean to get into this kind of place.
so, that was the “shower” i said before. at least it looked like a shower.
you were allowed to washed your hair, face and drink the water. if
you washed your face 3 times, washed your hair once and drink it 3
times, you’ll probably get the youth essence but not directly after you
finished the rituals. i drank it 3 times and it was so fresh. and tasted
really good.
after having such an awesome and fresh experience, we continued our
trip to Sukowati public market and it was soooooo crowded. many sellers
forced the visitors to buy some souvenirs from their shop. they forced
too much (i thought so). so, if you want to go to Bali, you have to be
careful. just like in Kintamani, there were some forcing sellers.
they’ll come to you and offering their stuff and they’ll force you to
buy it with kindness. they’ll give you some great offers. but once you
were asked and offered, they’ll follow you. i mean, if you left they’ll
keep forcing you, following wherever you go (but still in that place).
so yeah, i explained it too much lol.
i bought 3 clothes as souvenirs and it was pretty cheap. lol. you can
get a tee for only $2. such an amazing place to shop. haha.
aaaand then, we went over to another place to watch Kecak Dance. it
was pretty cool. and i met a girl from california named Amy, and she’s
absolutely beautiful.
that was kecak dance looked like. i enjoyed it.
FOURTH DAY
BEACH TIMEEEE! we started this day with watching the sunrise in Sanur beach.
it was a beautiful morning. and we continued it to Bali Monument
this is us!!
it was soooooo hot. the heat was like up to 99
degree celcius. and after that, we headed to Garuda Wisnu Kencana, a
place full of amazing huge statues and cliff and yeah, such an amazing
place to take pictures.
see? so beautiful right?
aaaand FINALLY, we gotta see the precious sunset in KUTA BEACH.
unspeakably beautiful. i was satisfied with that. i missed it too much :(
and after seeing such a beautiful scene, we went to
KRISNA, the most popular souvenir shop in Bali and we also had a dinner
here. and then we headed back to our hotel. and this what i bought in
Bali
i bought too many things for my family and friends
and for myself of course. i also bought a milk pie it’s balinese
traditional food and they were so damn delicious. i bought 5 or 6 pack
because i loved it sooo much!!
it was our last night in Bali and everyone ran over
the corridor because we had to do our task. the tasks is to find out
the information about the tourist objects we have visited in Bali and
per group had 6 people in it and yeah, we did it with too much laughs
and jokes. why not? it was our last night in bali and we weren’t sleepy
enough and we actually didn’t want this end quickly. we spent that night
with such a delightful face and we wouldn’t be able to forget that
night.
FIFTH DAY
this is our last day in Bali. everyone has their
things packed up and they were too lazy i saw it on their face while
they were having breakfast. not because we had a sleepless night. but
because we wouldn’t leave Bali and we wanted more funs here. but what
can we do then?
we started our last day with a visit to SANGEH. it
was a little village with many monkeys. a legend said those monkeys were
kingdom’s soldiers. and if one of the monkeys got up to you without you
forcing it, it means you’ll get a luckiness.
but unfortunately, i didn’t go into the forest
because i was on my period. (on-period girls are not allowed to get into
the forest). so i stayed in the car park and walked around the park.
but you can still see the monkeys.
after our visit to sangeh, we went to Bedugul Lake for lunch. we had a pretty amazing lunch view.
and after that, we continued our trip to Tanah Lot. and this place is SO DAMN AMAZING.
and Tanah Lot was the last place we visit in Bali
and after that we headed to Java island and forced ourselves to say good
bye to Bali. and just like the first day, yes. we slept on our way to
Java island. and we crossed the strait at midnight and we were sooooo
TIRED x_x
SIXTH DAY
WELCOME BACK TO JAVA!! we were in Blitar and we’ll
visit the most insiprational person’s graveyard, Mr. SOEKARNO!
Indonesia’s first president!
beautiful right?
at night, we finally arrived at Ros-in hotel, a
four star hotel in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. it was really calm and relax
and we enjoyed our time there spent the night with resting from such a
long tired trip.
SEVENTH DAY
it’s not over yet!! LOL we went to Prambanan
Temples in the morning and yeah, as you know it was really adorable in
the morning. and continued to the Yogya’s Keraton (such a palace, a
javanese palace). and after that we went shopping to Malioboro street
and after shopping we headed back to the hotel for Table Manner program.
the hotel.
after finished the program, well it was midnight
already and someone’s head just got hit so he had to go to hospital
accompanied by some teachers which means we have a freedom here in the
hotel. so played all night long and slept for 2-3 hours only.
EIGHTH DAY a.k.a THE LAST DAY
IT WAS OUR LAST DAY AND WE WOULDN’T GO BACK
QUICKLY. we had breakfast in the hotel and after having breakfast, we
went to Borobudur Temple and took some pictures.
and after lunch we continued our way back home and
we finally arrived at school at midnight and then go back to each house
with a tired face and sleepy head and yeah, as you know. a sad heart.
i really missed this trip. the moment i spent with
my friends, the laughter and stories…..i just couldn’t forget this
precious moment. XOXO❤
