check out My Flickr for more
ok, before i forgot what happened during the trip
i'd better write it down first
First Day :
- depart from home at around 1.30pm
- reached LCCT at about 2.30pm, met up with the other bunch of people
- found out that the stupid flight is delay, our suppose flight should be at 4.50pm, but now it's changed to 5.55pm
- waited at macdonalds, had nuggets for lunch, drank coffeebean
- boarded the plane at 6.10pm, we took a MAN U Air Asia Airbus A320
- reached Bali at about 9.10pm, saw many ang mohs with surfboards
- met up with the driver from Dewi Sri Hotel and the tour guide Putra for our Bali trip, the other bunch of people stayed at Massa Inn at Kuta, ours is at Legian
- reached Hotel around 10pm, took bath, felt hungry, went down for dinner at the hotel's cafe, a freakin burger cost me RPH 35,000!
Second Day :
- woke up at 7pm, tour guide's worker Ketut( yaya...i know the name is like damn funny) picked the 5 of us up to meet the others
- went to the holy spring temple at tampak siring, it's also known as Tirta Empul Temple
- Lunch at dirty duck restaurant which is beside a paddy field, food is not bad, i had nasi goreng special indonesia which cost me around RPH 28,000
- went to Ubud's market, everyone bought something, negotiation skills are very important for shopping in Bali, Putra say is better to slash the price by at least 50% lower when negotiating...i totally fail doing it
- rushed to Uluwatu but to realise that we might be late for sunset at Jimbaran, so had a quick tour at Uluwatu
** travelling in Bali actually takes up quite a lot of time, especially from places to places, coz the road in Bali is exceptionally narrow, and the traffic is horrifying...motorcyclist there own the road, beware of them if you plan to rent a car there, make sure your skills are good enough to cruise your way through the streets of Bali
- sunset dinner at Jimbaran, mostly seafood, i only ate the egg, kangkung and fish, 15 of us ate about 1.5 million rupiah (OMG!!!We ate a house???!!)
Third Day :
- went to Tanjong Benoa for water sports, went to turtle island on a glass bottom boat, i don't like the way the tourist treated the animals on turtle island, it is so obvious that the animals want us to leave them alone...i feel like the tourist are just being so cruel coz they can't stop picking the turtle up for photos...i hate people like these...
- i went shooting around while the rest went jet-skiing and other water sports
- Babi Guling for lunch, it's not that bad, but after that i had to eat clorets and metos to get rid of the pork smell in my mouth
- went to Sukawati market for shopping
- sunset at Tanah Lot temple, spectacular view, shall go there again for more angle shots...
- dinner at a chinese restaurant at Kuta called Da Lao, they serve very nice chinese hong kong porridge and steambot, each porridge is priced around RPH 30,000
Fourth Day :
- Free & Easy all day
- spa in the afternoon at 2pm
- Free & Easy again
Fifth Day :
- Shopping & Surfing to end our last day in Bali
- Flight at 8.10pm,reached LCCT at around 11.20pm
Reminder for people who would to visit Bali next time
1. plan your trip well, Bali cannot be finished within a few days, coz the distance from one place to another takes hours, you have to at least go a few times to be able to cover all the famous spots on the island
2. do not change money there!the exchange rate sucks and you will loose a lot...try to use credit card if not enough money
3. remember to bargain, the more you buy, the cheaper you can get...
4. bring a calculator if you're on a shopping trip
5. you will see offerings on the floor of almost every place, please do not kick it, even if you did, remember to say sorry as those are offerings to the spirits around
6. walk, ride and drive carefully there, remember to watch out for motorcyclist who doesn't cherish their lives
basically....it is a damn nice place...
i will be back......~
