A Trip to Borobudur Temple

Three years ago, my classmates and I visited Borobudur Temple. We went there by bus. We left our school at nine o’clock. It took us 24 hours to arrive there. We arrived there at nine o’clock the next day. Along the road, we saw many vehicles, unique houses, prominent buildings, and some tourists.

After we arrived at the Borobudur temple, one of my teachers went to buy tickets. After we waited for him for a moment we entered the temple area. Then we went up to the top of the temple.

Borobudur temple was built at Budur Village, Magelang, Central Java by Syailendra Dynasty. It is the biggest temple in the world. It has 504 statues and 1.400 reliefs. From the top of the temple we can see such beautiful scenery. My friends and I went around the temple together. Finally, after having some visits, we went to the hotel to stay and continued our tour the next day.

I went to Paradise Water boom last Sunday. I went there with my uncle, aunt and cousins Wendy and Andy. We left home at 7 a.m. It took an hour to get there. Well, it was not crowded when we arrived.

We went directly to the dressing room to change our clothes. My uncle, cousins and I went to the pool and dived together. We also competed; anyone who lost must serve us drinks and fried bananas, sweet potatoes or young corn. After that, we played games, such as a banana boat, water ball and spinning wheel. We did enjoy those games!

We spent three hours there. We left the place after having lunch at the cafeteria, near the pool.
