A STORY ABOUT A HOLIDAY

Magical Bali Vacation : A Tale of Miracle and Discovery

The moment I was stepping out from the airplane at Bali, Indonesia cannot but feel in full excitement and amazement. My family has planned this trip for months now and here we are amidst all the greenish landscapes, pristine beaches, and activities of life that cultures have portrayed. We spent the first two days of it sunbathing on the resort’s beach basking in some rays, and ambling leisurely along the shore. Days passed, restlessness set in, and this was getting to be time to find out about that mythic treasure island buried underwater. We were at one of these days when we visited the Uluwatu Temple-the one precariously perched atop a cliff looking over the Indian Ocean. As we walk on the temple grounds, we are exposed to carvings, colors, and serenity. We may even halt there in order to marvel at how beautiful it has become because of sunset approaching the temple, which gives it a golden hue and in waters below.

The following day was spent going around the interior and visiting this small town called Ubud. Although very famous for art galleries, craft shops, and traditional markets, the following day was spent just walking round the streets for hours admiring paintings done by locals and sampling various street foods sold from stalls.
