We departed with Turangga Train at 8.00 pm. I sat with Arsent, Dhiya and Faqih. Before the train departed, we took some photos with our class or XI IPA 4.

When the train departed, we enjoyed Fried Rice and our foods. After 12 hours, finally we arrived at Gubeng Station at 8.00 am. We used bus to continue our trip. In the bus we played some songs and sang together. We had lunch in Probolinggo at 12.00 pm. After that, we continued our trip to Katapang Harbour in Banyuwangi. We took a ferry to Gilimanuk Harbour in Bali. It was so dark, we couldn't see anything. At 10.00 pm, we arrived at Gilimanuk Harbour and continued our trip Hotel Nirmala in Denpasar, Bali. It took 4 hours to the hotel, so we arrived at 2.00 am. We took a rest in the hotel. It was very tiring journey.

 The Turtle Island is a place to conserve turtle. There were a lot of turtles. After that, we went back to beach to had lunch and changed our clothes (shirt) with TURBUD shirt. Then, we continued our trip to Pudjamandala. It was a place that we can see 5 majority religions in Indonesia having their holy sites. It is the one and only in Indonesia. It reflects that tolerance is living in the middle of Bali's people. We hopes that this spirit can be applied in all regions in Indonesia, so we can be a better country. After that, we went to GWK. GWK is a abbreviation of Garuda Wisnu Kencana. It is statue complex that if all the statues is done, it will be the highest statue in the world. It is located in the Jimbaran Hills, so we can see the Aitport, and Denpasar City from there. In the place, there is a holy water source that if we drink them, our pray will be happened, but I didn't drink it, because I didn't believe it. The GWK project is have been long suspended because the 1998 financial crisis. But now, in some places there, the project continued again. After see the statue, we play a game. The task is to finding all clues and guessing what is that. Our class won and we got prize money. Then we took some pictures together.

Then, we continued to Jimbaran bay for had dinner together. There was a game named sing a song. We saw our friends performence there and we danced and jumped together while enjoying the song.
The second day, we went to Penglipuran Cultural Village. There we can see the ancient and traditional Bali Village. There are 2 different culture that lived in Bali, Bali Aga (known as old Bali) that lived only in some places like Penglipuran and Trunyan, and the others people called Bali Majapahit. Except Bali Aga people, we having a close relationship with java people because we are the remainders from Majapahit kingdom. After that, we went to Kintamani. There we only had a lunch, before had lunch we took some pictures together.

Then we went to Sukowati. Sukowati was the one of traditional market in Bali which sold a lot of art craft, clothes, and foods. I didn't buy anythings in that place. I just see what was on the market and went again to the bus. After that, we went back to the hotel and prepared for the last night event in Bali and we called 'Makrab' (malam keakraban). We saw some performences from our friends and 32015 award in Makrab 32015.

The last day, we went to Pandawa Beach. But, on the way there, we had an accident. Our bus is crashed with a motorbike. Then, we stopped the bus in gas station and joined with other XI IPA 2's bus to get there. Pandawa Beach is a new beach that previously blocked by hills. There we had tug of war game. Again, we won and got prize money. After that, we headed to Krisna. Krisna is a shopping store. I only bought pie susu there, and I went to the bus. Some of my friends including me want to go to Kuta Beach. We must ride a elf car to there because bus wasn't permitted to go there. There we having some beachwalk.
