Yeap! I am here again! Continuing
my DAY 03 @
BALI
. Watch Out this is going to
be Super LoSo! If u r busy, come back next time. Haha!!!
Actually i’m currently preparing the tour to HK. Dear friends, don’t think i am
showing off here.. its just "addicted" to travel liao. I’m in big
trouble now, why? my savings getting less and less. So my HK trip shall be very
tight budget, sorry if i dun get u any souvenir! 
lame excuse..
Day 03, it begins! So in Day2, we went to so many places, if u can’t recall, u
r always welcome to read back. Our 4d3n trip is actually quite short. However,
we managed to go most of the "important places". Day 03 trips feels
like more interesting. In our itinerary, we are supposed to visit 3 temples!
Hehe… I know you surely "FROWN" your brows, cos temple normally for
those superstitious or elderly. But you are wrong, temples in
BALI
are all very nice, nice with the landscape, nice with the weather and nice with
the antique buildings.
Begins from our hotel. I guess u
haven’t have a look of the view of our hotel.
Yes
our hotel is very near to the beach. It’s a beach resort. Its wonderful to stay
here although it looks quite old. But you are on vacation only, short term, so
don’t be so choosy as long as its convenient, clean and tidy
Today our first visit goes to
Uluwatu
Temple
. Suppose we were arranged to go
on Day 01 but too bad, our flight arrives at nite, a lot of things we’ve
missed. The temple is located at the level 250 feet’s above the sea level on
the cliff of southern point of Pura Luhur.
NOTE:: So if u r going
BALI
, make sure
your flight arrives in the day time. Be wiser oh!
Pak Satria, our tour guide, insist
saying that there were a lot of Monkeys in Uluwatu, and the monkeys are all
very aggressive. He warned us not to wear any accessories or glasses, just
incase the monkey snatch it. Well, I was so tension when I heard tat. Will the
monkey come and snatch my camera?? Sounds so serious o!??
From
the outlook of this temple , i can only define it as ‘ old ‘ . Cos it wasn’t decorated
like any other temple. We have to walk and climb stair case to reach the cliff.
Took around 2 mins walk and we saw the beautiful scene. Satria told us the
higher we go, the scene looks nicer. Tat’s true! We took a lot of picture there. The origin of Uluwatu =ulu -hujung, the end. Watu-batu
means rock. Yeap we r up at the rocky ends. Looking down from there, we sea the
indian ocean. It’s really a beautiful view.
And why I din mentioned about
monkey? Where are all the monkey gone? The monkeys were still sleeping around
10am. Too early to wake up. That’s why not much coming out. Since ntg fun with
monkey, so we just left the temple after the cycloramic view of
Uluwatu
Temple
. It’s a worth visit!
From uluwatu to Nusa Dua
takes around 40 minutes, due to all the roads in
Bali
are small and narrow, we can’t drive fast. What’s more we are in a traveler’s
bus. We reach tg. Benoa to meet up the other members of our tour. Tg. Benoa is
a beach that is popular for water sport activities. All around Tg. Benoa are
surrounded by 5 stars hotel or resorts. A lot of tourists stay here for
vacation. Talk about Nusa Dua , its actually a bit slightly different from
other places in kuta. This is a very clean and peaceful place. Government
convention centre also took place here.
They went to Coral Island and play water sports at BMR. While waiting for other members
to finish their water sport activities, we take sometime enjoy at the beach. We
took pictures, and even pretend we took part with the water sport, such as jet
ski and flying jet. The flying jet is very expensive, which is available only
at
Bali
. (but I heard
Sabah
also got) So if you like, you can try. But all these water sport are not cheap.
Prepare few hundreds ringgit for it!
Under the bright sunny day, i
went to do hairstyling. Due to curiosity laR! Supposedly the ‘tie-ing’ or “bang bian zhi”
will look nice. But mine not so good… I paid rp25000, =rm 10 only. And all
were done by old lady, they treat my head like coconut, simply pull simply tie,
it hurts!! Better do it at the town, more professional hair stylist o! But also
more expensive lar~
Next destination, time for lunch.
But we r going to a very far place, need to go up a very high mountain.Takes 2 hours to reach there. Pak Satria bought us some snacks to eat , that’s Babi Guling. You must try, its roasted pork with Belacan. Taste so good. Its available along the road side, at those small warung. You will notice the signboard along the roadside.
On the way up to the mountain, we pass by a lot of Padi field.. I think its also available in Malaysia.
The restaurant is just opposite
the lake. Its buffet style again. Up on the mountain the air is fresh &
cool. The weather are just fine, we don’t feel hot. After lunch, we quickly
take a chance to the opposite lake and took pictures. Satria keep telling us,
the next destination will be nicer. Told us to be patient. Haiya we are just so
“
sakai
”
lar.. Go to where, capture to where..
Temple
of the
lake – I actually not very sure the exact name of this lake. The tourist told
us “bedugul” tats in Indo accents. However in our list, its written
Beratan
Lake
Temple
.
Wat ever, as long as u say temple of the lake, there’s only 1 in
Bali
, I think. The lake up on a mountain. Strange?? Tat’s why it attracted so many tourist to visit. The
temple is located in beside the lake. When the water is low tide, they can walk
through it otherwise they might need to swim over, I think?
I feel very peaceful when we
reach this temple. By the way, talk about temple again, In
Bali
,
90% are Hinduism. Somehow, bear in your mind; temple must be a very holy place.
Places for the believers to pray. In
Bali
,
their temples are designated more like a park. It surrounded by beautiful
scenery, such as sea, mountain or lake. You wont feel scary even if u r not
their believers. Trust Me!
We were given 1 hour at this place.
But the scene is just too nice, we are so busy taking photos. Mr. Poh even run ,
too excited I guess. At the entrance there were a small market selling goodies,
to travelers. Food, clothes and more on souvenirs, are all available here. We
start Go! Go! Go! after photo takings. We bought so many things. But they told
us, there are even more at Tanah Lot.–> next destination. Ok.. So we
controlled. And wait till Tanah Lot. :O
Takes another 2 hours to reach
Tanah Lot. It seems so far, as we were up on the mountain, and now go down to
the beach. Finally, we reach a temple which is perched on a rocky
outcrop in the sea located at the west coasts of
Bali
.
That’s Tanah LOT.
In the previous destination, tourists seem not
tat much. But when we reach here, the tourist seems 10x more. Tanah Lots really
attract a lot of tourist. While u can enjoy with the beautiful scene, the other
side you can enjoy shopping. If going to Bali, and never been to Tanah Lot,
means you never been to
BALI
. No regret o!
Now
the temple is by the seaside. The waves are strong, and we took picture near to
the waves. Its actually quite danger to so, therefore there will be lifeguard
by the seaside to watch over the safety of tourist. Just in case we get blown
away by the waves. I also dunno how to describe the temple. But maybe you can
just have a look at the pictures.
Shopping
time begins! Cant wait this minute to come. I bought bags, dress, pants,
slippers, photo album (must) and souvenirs.
Take note: In all these type of
markets, you always have to bargain. ASK FOR DISCOUNT, not 10%, not 20% not 50%
but up to 70%.
Of cos as a Malaysian, u ada untung lar.. Cos u
can bargain in Bahasa
Malaysia
.
The accent have to act a bit like Bahasa Indon, then they will feel more closer
“ mesra “ with you. Then discount also kuat kuat lo. The bags are like “rotan”
bags, its mostly handmade. Meanwhile, there are lot of imitated t-shirts and
pants. The quality of cos not good, but ntg wrong if u by RM5 a pants , printed
BillaBong. Wear to sleep lar!!~ Photo albums also a must to buy, cos its also
handmade – a bit like recycle style, and written
BALI
.
Nice?? And lastly souvenirs, if u dunno wat to buy, u can always buy your
friend a “dick”. Poh bought a lot of “dicks” from
Bali
.
Haha. Its actually wood carved dick. Looks very real, and in different colours
diiferent sizes. You know lar.. international mar!
Its been a pretty tired day. The tour ends
dinner at Selera Kuring. The dinner is only “ma ma dei”. So So … but that’s the
only restaurant which is air conditioned. And also there will be singers come
to your table and sing whatever languages songs. This time we are wiser, we all
“zha so”. U know wat it means? We pretend dunno anything, and din give any
tips. Haha.. Everyone seems so excited tho we were tired. After dinner we were
sent back to our hotel. And it was time to say goodbye to the other tour mate,
as we will be leaving the next day.
The nite still young, 3 of us joined Mr.Ng from KL went our exploring Jln Kuta. Since this is the last nite, we tried to find out anything interesting. Kuta street is full of tourist even tho it turns late. We went to souvenir shops, branded shops, etc etc. Things at Kuta Street mostly doing cheap sale. But even tho is cheap sale, its still expensive. We din buy much, just get some souvenirs for friends.
Its been a very tired day.
That’s
the end of Day 3. The next day will be free & easy in the day time, since
our flight was on 8pm. I think I am getting more LOSO. But I just dun wish I
miss out anything to tell you mar.. sorry lo.. hehe..I promise , Day 4 will be shorter and summarized. So do
catch up ya~~~ Muak muak~
