fyuuhhh been a few months without any updates on this blog :D (with or without updates my blog always has no visitor anyway.. hahaha... x_x)
hmmm what to talk? :-? kayy.. i will write about my trip to Bali :)
Bali is such an interesting place. My driver told me that almost every family in Bali have their own temple so ceremonies n offerings happen almost every day here (wow). Tourists pouring in to this city every day of the year. After i got 5 days off permission from my office, i planned my trip to Bali ! yay !! I booked an air asia flight to bali on 3rd oct n then i booked a 4n stay at tune hotels Kuta :) the price is relatively cheap for 4n stay in kuta. the room was small but clean :) it's a decent place to sleep at least :D coz when u're in bali u wouldn't want to spend ur time in the hotel room so size really doesnt matter :p the hotel location is quite strategic. only about 7mins walk to kuta beach n 10-15mins walk to kartika plaza - discovery mall - waterbom :D n surrounded by a lot of stall selling clothes, paintings, shoes, n many other things :D
this is the view of my room at tune :D
before i arrived in Bali, i also booked a car + driver to drive us around Bali as we didnt know anything about Bali :)
- first day - 3oct (arrival)
- arrived at 6pm n then took a taxi to the hotel (btw taxis in the airport doesnt use the flat tariff. u have to bargain. we paid 50.000 rupiahs from ngurah rai - tune kuta)
- checked in at tune at about 7 pm
- walked to discovery mall n had dinner at cafe Batan Waru (the pricel for food is around 50-100thousands rupiahs,10-30thousands for drink, and the liquor which is around 50thousands)
this is me at cafe batan waru :)
- 2nd day (my friend in bali accompanied us this day)
- our driver picked us at the hotel at 9am
- went to our 1st destination : Garuda Wisnu Kencana
This is one of the statues in GWK
- went to dreamland beach. they say this beach is more beautiful than kuta beach ( the beach is quite isolated n less crowded than kuta that's why a lot of foreign tourists like this beach)
- went to padang padang beach. the path to this beach is a narrow steeped stairs between 2 rocky cliff. unfortunately i couldn't manage to take a pic of the stairs as there were too many ppl going around there.
- went to uluwatu. didnt take any good photos of the surrounding cause i lost my modd when a monkey stole 1 of my sandals :| (the monkeys here love to steal shiny things so be careful !)
- Day 3
- Went to waterbom. didnt take any pics as i left the cam's battery in the hotel room.. (stupid me)
- walked to kuta beach (behind discovery shopping mall) to watch Sunset. it's so beautiful here !!
- Day 4
- Went to celuk silver n Titiles
- Went to sukawati to buy some clothes n souvenirs :) (bargain half of the price given!)
- Went to ulundanu temple in bedugul (be sure to bring along ur jacket as the weather here is cold n dont go here on the afternoon cos it's likely to rain there)
- Went to tanah lot. the place was a bit dirty n full of ppl when i came there. kinda boring. nothing u can do here. :) the sunset in kuta beach was more beautiful than in tanah lot (IMHO)
- Day 5 : 7oct
Bye-bye bali :'( gonna miss the place n the culture
