I visited Bali because of a study tour one year ago, precisely in March 2018. I was in Bali with the 11th grade of Mathematics and Sciences 1. The best class I ever had during high school, because of our solidarity and cohesiveness. At that time we stayed eight days in Bali, two days for departure and two days for return.

We arrived at Gilimanuk Bali at 2 am. Then, we went to the transit hotel before moving to the main hotel. The first day in Bali was very special because we were served satay lilit to breakfast, which is a typical Balinese food. The first destination we visited Panglipuran village. Honestly, the air of Panglipuran village is very cool and the environment is clean. I bought souvenirs in the form of wooden miniature cars there. The price is IDR. 30,000. The price is very cheap when viewed from a complicated manufacturing method.
After that, we went to Lake Bedugul. After arriving there, it rained. So we only enjoyed the beauty of the lake for a while eating meatballs. At 5 pm we returned to the hotel to rest before continuing with dinner. the atmosphere of dinner there is very different. we spend the night having fun, like singing together and playing games.

We were lucky besause went to go to Bali in March because we presented with a custom view/ceremony that we will not see anywhere and the weather is not too hot.

Pandawa Beach

When we visited Bali, it coincided with the Melasti ceremony. FYI Melasti ceremony is a ceremony which is held three or four days before Nyepi Day. I saw Hindus doing the procession on the beach in traditional clothing and bringing offerings. I was very impressed to saw the procession even though it made a little traffic jam, hehehe.

We also saw Ogoh-ogoh in front of people's homes. Unfortunately, I didn't took some photos.

There are several destinations we visited:

1. Tanjung Benoa

2. Panglipuran Village

3. Bajrasandhi Monument

4. Pandawa Beach

5. Joger Shop

6. Lake Bedugul

7. Tanah Lot

8. Cening Bagus

9. Barong Batubulan Dance Performance

Last day in Bali we visited Tanah Lot. We saw the blue sea of Bali there. I saw many foreign tourists who are enjoying the beauty of Tanah Lot. we only briefly there. after 1 pm we returned to the bus to go to the port.

Panglipuran Village

After our four days in Bali, we finally returned to D-1 before Nyepi because if Nyepi Day, all activities were stopped including transportation. We arrived at school in the afternoon. No regrets in my heart taking a study tour in Bali because the destinations are very cool, there is also a culture that is very maintained by residents so that it becomes a special attraction for tourists. Bali is very memorable for me because Bali makes people feel they don't want to go home. The cultural riches that I saw are Kecak dance, traditional clothing, and Balinese specialties.The pictures below are one of the destinations we visited.
