Bali, The Land of God part 1

Last week, me and family took a vacation to the Land of God__BALI. It was a long weekend, so we can go a little further from Jakarta. The part one of my posts is about beach...!! They are so beautiful, the white sand, the blue sea...oh, I wish I have one for my own

Day 1

We woke up 5.30 am in the morning so we can watch the sun rise. FIY, we stayed at Novotel Hotel and Residences Nusa Dua, and it has a private beach. Unfortunately, there're too many clouds and windy that day, only the glimmer of the sun that we can watch..

Day 2

Today we went to Tanjung Benoa Beach, 10 minutes from Nusa Dua. The place that we can try all kind of water sport; parasailing, banana boat, flying fish, jet ski, diving, etc..
We choose diving experience...it's not really diving actually, because if you want to be a diver you have to take a course at least fourth time to get the license as a diver.
We only take a short course here, about how to breathe in the water, and to overcome the problem that often occurred..

Dreamland Beach
The way that we passing by to get to the beach.

The beach surrounded by coral cliff, makes it more beautiful..
...nice place for surfing also


I think it's a shell fossil..

what a beautiful sunset...

Day 3
Last day in Bali..we went to Padang-Padang Beach. We have to go down from a cliff and we have to walk between big rocks.

the 'tunnel'

Nice place to relaxing, because the beach is not as crowed as the other beach..

Hopefully you all guys enjoy this post... ;]
