Bali Holiday

I choose Bali as my holiday destination this time, Bali is one of more than 17000 islands of Indonesia, located between Java and Lombok makes Bali as an important gateway to Indonesia.

Here's my trip report

I flew from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport by using Boeing 737-900 ER of Lion Air, it was an on time flight.

(Lion Air, I used this plane when visiting Bali)

After I arrived to Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport I choose taxi to Kuta.

As a backpacker I choose an inn room at Kuta's poppies lane. Wow, here's so many backpackers, I could sharing with them, I had new friends from other countries to explore Bali.

After satisfied with my amazing Bali trip I went home by using Lion Air too, it's also an on time flight.
