PREDIKSI SOAL MID SEMESTER DUA

KELAS VIII KTSP

There was so many places to see in Bali that I decided to join the tours to see as much as possible.
I stayed in Kuta on arrival. I spent first three days for swimming and surfing on Kuta Beach. I visited
some tour agents and selected two tours.

The first one was to singaraja, the second was to Ubud. On the day of the tour, I was ready. I and
my group drove on through mountains. Singaraja is a city of about 90 thousands people. It is a busy but
quite town. The street are lined with trees and there are many old Dutch houses. Then we returned very
late in the evening to Kuta.

The second tour to Ubud was very different tour. It was not to see the scenery but to see the art
and the craft of the island. The first stop was at Batu Bulan, a center of stone sculpture. There , I wathes
young boys were carving away at big block stone. The next stop was Celuk, a center of silversmiths and
goldensmiths. After that, I stopped for lunch at Sukawati.

My ten days stay ended very quickly. Beside my two tours, all my day was spent on the beach. I
went sailing and surfboarding every day. I was very satisfied.
