The view was so amazing. We then continued our trip to Art Center. We saw many beautiful paintings at that place. After that, we visited Hawai to shop. And then, we went to Pandawa beach. We enjoyed the beauty of the beach and took canoe over there.
We visited many beautiful places in Bali. The place for us to stay was Puri Dewa Bhrata hotel. The hotel was great but a bit creepy. Although we were a bit scared, we were so happy because we were gathered with many friends. We then went back home at 7 pm. We saw sunset first at Tanah Lot before going back to Java. It was a nice trip.
