after months planning for a holiday trip with friends, at last we decided to go to Bali, Indonesia during our Chinese New Year holiday! We stayed at Kuta and Ubud.
Our flight to Denpasar (Bali) from Kuala Lumpur took us about three hours. During our two-days stayed in Kuta, we had hired a tour driver for a cost of IDR 900,000 including airport fares which is quite reasonable because the tour driver can suggest us good Muslim restaurant for lunch and dinner plus he can help us to plan our two-days itinerary in Bali.
On the first day, we went to Tanah Lot. We can see beautiful scenary of the sea from the cliff.
Besides being a tourism attraction, this is a place for Hindu to pray. Everyone to wish to enter the temple, need to wash their faces using the Holy Water, wear flowers given and put some rice on forehead. Tourism can simply walk across the sea to the temple because the water level is not that deep.
*On their way to the temple for prayers*
After that, we head to Dreamland Beach. To be honest, this beach is soooo perfect, except the weather is quite hot. So, we just ignore the heat and took lots of photo as the beach scenery is so beautiful which we can't get as such back in Malaysia.
Then we went to Uluwatu Temple for Kecak Dance and sunset view. On the way for Kecak Dance, we passed by Uluwatu Temple. It situated on the edge of the cliff. The can have nice view of the blue sea from top of the cliff.
The Kecak Dance starts at 6.00 pm daily and this is a-must-see dance in Bali. This dance tells us an Indonesia legend story.
We had our dinner at Jimbaran beach that night. They served seafood; ikan baker, lobster, calamari, etc. And the feeling is just like having our ikan bakar at Kuala Perlis, Malaysia.
The next day, we went to Ladang Kopi. We can find Kopi Luwak here; which is a famous coffee in Bali. Maybe because im not a coffee-fan, thus I can't find any excitement drinking coffee here. This is how they process the coffee; from coffee beans.
Besides Luwak coffee, they served various type of coffee and tea here; Roselle, Vanilla coffee, Arabica coffee and many other type of coffee which I can re-call now. Hihi. They will give one small-cup for each flavours as a tester for each group.
We had our lunch at Kintamani. A buffet-lunch. We can actually see a beautiful volcanic view from this restaurant. Unfortunately, it is raining that day, so we can't see any of the view.
After lunch, we proceed to Rice Terrace Field. In Indonesia, they had their paddy field in form of terrace. This is one thing that we they are different from us in Malaysia.
After having a tiring time climbing the terrace field, we straight away continue to Ubud, Bali. We arrived Ubud around 6 pm.
Since our hotel in Ubud situated in the middle of Ubud city centre, we just spent our one-full day walking around the city centre; searching for souvenirs, have a visit to Monkey Forest and spent our night at Starbucks.
The next day, we continue our journey to Surabaya which I will share later in my next post.
Till then, wsalam.
