MY LAST HOLIDAY IN lombok

          I spent my last holiday with my family in Lombok . It may not be as popular as Bali, but it offers visitors so much to see and experience. During our seven-day  trip , all members of my family had a great time.

            Our exciting adventure began after we landed at selaparang airport , mataram. We headed northwest by cab along a stretch of white sandy beach to a hotel in sengingi area. As soon as we checked lisa and my brother dhandhe took a stroll along the gorgeus beach. Then they signed up for a snorkeling trip.  Both of them spent most of our two days in sengingi doing water sports. Soon they got tanned. My father kept himself busy taking a traditional class. He is in the restaurant business and is always into learning new recipes.

            On the third day , we checked out of the hotel. We continued our adventureto the southern part of the island. We visited Banyumelek village. It is well known for its pottery craft. My mother and I eargly joined a pottery class. At first , the others were not interested in getting their hands dirty. But they changed their minds after they saw the beautiful shapes and patterns of the pottery. We were all extremely proud of our own creations.

            The next day we went to sukaraja village. It is famous for its woven handicraft. There were no weaving classes for visitors but we got to try to their looms. Though only for a few hours it was a very rewarding experience.

            And finally my trip is over. It was hard for us to say goodbye to Lombok . it is too bad that we did not have a chance to explore the northern part of the island. But each of us definitely had a wonderful time. Lombok is certainly everyone’s dreamland
