Two friends and I spent our half term on the Indonesian island of Bali. It was a very beautiful place that I would recommend highly. We were staying in the beach resort of Sanur which was fairly quiet but the beach was gorgeous - long white sands stretching for miles punctuated by raised wooden platforms that looked like mini temples that you could lie on and soak up the extremely hot sun. Much of our time was spent by the pool and enjoying the massages offered by the spa at our hotel but we also visited some amazing places. We enjoyed sunset at Tanah Lot which is a temple right on the coast sat on an outcrop of rock. Another temple that we visited was Ulu Watu where we were treated to a traditional performance of the story of Rama and Sita by traditional Balinese dancers - it reminded me of doing a similar dance with my Year 4 class back home. We also rode horse through the surf on Kuta beach, had fresh seafood by candlelight on the beach and visited the rice paddy fields - a fantastic week. There are more pictures in the gallery.
