Kuta Bali Is Lashed By Heavy Rain, Tourists Still Flock To Come Before The New Year

BADUNG - Heavy rain and wind did not stop tourists from visiting Kuta Beach, Badung Regency, Bali, to just take a walk and wait for the turn of New Year's Eve.

Heavy rain and wind occurred around 16.20 WITA and only stopped at 18.26 WITA. Seen, many tourists running for shelter, and some tourists are having fun playing in the rain wearing a swimsuit.

Meanwhile, the traffic flow on the Kuta Beach highway is also jammed. However, traffic flow is not closed to vehicles like in previous years.

One of the domestic tourists named Lasyia Lukita from Tangerang, Banten, said she had just come to Bali this morning for the New Year's holiday.

"Yes, we are busy, that's why we came here and it was also close to the hotel while looking for food. We just arrived in Bali this morning", said Lasyia.

However, she was a little disappointed because it was raining and could not enjoy the atmosphere of Kuta Beach.

Lasyia admitted that she had only been to Kuta Beach twice. She also didn't know there was a rule in the Kuta area that it closed at 23:00 WITA.

"I don't know, but if there is a rule like that, it's already the new year at the hotel", she said.

Meanwhile, Putu Picky came all the way from Tabanan Regency, Bali also did not expect that it would be raining on Kuta Beach. However, she still chose Kuta Beach for New Year's Eve.

"Yes, I deliberately went to Kuta Beach because it is now the end of the year. I have always liked the atmosphere of Kuta Beach on New Year's Eve", he said.
