Hi my name is Jessica and I am 10years old from the central coast of NSW. I have just returned from Bali. We were there for over 3 weeks. At Sydney Airport I got to met the Central Mariners Soccer team and I got their autographs and a photo. I knew this was going to be a great holiday. We arrived in Bali on time and flew with Garuda I will not let mum fly with anyone else I love them. John from Brown Sugar Restaurant picked us up from the airport and took us back to the restaurant as thats where we were staying for a couple of nights, it was too hot so the next day I told I need air conditioning a pool. We stayed at Sinar Bali hotel for a few nights I like this hotel lots of shade around the pool nice room and great staff. Mum hired a car hire and we headed off to Alas Keraton the Monkey forest near Tabanan it was a fun day I brought a packet of chips there and as soon as I left the shop a cheeky monkey jumped down from a tree and stole them. After the monkey we decided to visit my grandparents in Tabanan when we arrived my grandmother saw me and started crying and she was speaking Indonesian really fast Mum come over to see what was wrong. My grandfather had just passed away. It was the worst day of my life. We went back to Legian I was so upset. After a couple of days Mum said we could go to Lovina for a couple of days. So in the car we jumped and off on a new adventure. It was good when we got in the mountains past Bedugal the weather was cool and we could wind the down. We arrived at the Melka Hotel. WOW this is heaven I thought. We were walking through the hotel then I spotted them DOLPHINS MUM I yelled. I want to be a Marine Bioligist so this was the best. I told Mum to go put the dolphin swimming on the bill and by the time she came I was in pool with 3 small dolphins they are still shy and do not swim to you but who cares I am in a pool with 3 dolphins. After swimming the trainee trainer said I could help to feed them life cannot get any better. I had been around the dolphins for about 2 hours when mum said we should look at the rest of the hotel. WOW again bears, deers, orang utan who is very cheeky and spits at you but he loves to be fed. I had to get back to dolphins so mum let me swim with the bigger dolphins. This was magical they swim up to put their nose on your face slide over the top of you and underneath. I was not allowed to swim with Johnny the dolphin because the trainer told mum all he wants to do is make babies with people well that cracked me up how can a dolphin and people make babies oh well I will find out when I am older. Mum met a lovely lady at the hotel her name was Helen she helps all the school children in Bali when I grow up I hope I can help like this she is a very special person. Mum and I want to talk to my school to see if we can set up a sister school program I think this would be good for my school and to help the kids in Bali.We spent a couple of days in Lovina before going back to Legian. This time we stayed at Camplung Mas hotel. It was ok the rooms are big but on the last the air con would not work as good as before. I visited family in Bangli they taught me how to ride a motorbike on the soccer field. I have wanted to do this for years but mum always said no. Well now I can ride a manual motorbike all by myself. I went to the waterbom park this is still the best place in the world and the boomerang rules. My mum and Nan did lots of shopping like always. I only wanted my PS2 games and a couple of dvd. It only rained a couple of nights and not for very long the weather was very hot. On our last week Mum and Nan starting talking to people about buidling a house. Oh well here we go again Mum wants to live in Bali. I think thats enough for now I will post some more later. I hope you all love Bali as much a as me and my family
