    Bali Trip - Day 4 (The Turtle Island)

    We paid RP100,000 per person to visit The Turtle island, the trip took around 1 hour.
    We were given a packet of breads to feed fishes as well as turtles...

    Feeding turtles...



    The Chicken Fight show...


    This type of boat took us to that island.


    Time to be photographer... That's y you cant see me in this photo


    Look at my fake smile! I was so scared when I was carrying that turtle, but it was so heavy, at least 5 KGS...


    And this is semi-fake smile... Still scared...


    Isn't it look nice? I was the one who took this photo, not scared at all, because I was holding the camera and not the turtle...


    Young turtles... They life span is around 200 years...

    Bali Trip - Day 4 (Beach time!)

    Okay, day 4 - The Beach!
    This is the day when I got my skin tanned!
    I hate beach! No! It is suppose to be I hate the sun, I like the beach...
    Now you guys know why I need to buy so many masks? To rescue my skin!!!
    My skin is in a 'terrible, horrible & vegetable' condition now!!! - Terms taken from "I no stupid'... :P

    On the way to the beach in this mini van...
    Dear's parents look so happy when we were on our way to the beach


    Super hot! 'Princess Candle' melting! Can't even open my eyes!


    My feet nearly turn 'cooked' when I walked to ride the "flying fish" beach activity...


    Too hot! Even ang mos also dont do sun bathing at this time.


    The banana boat! I did not ride that, but dear's in law had so much fun riding on it! I ride the 'flying fish' instead... RM50 per ride.... so expensive to have the feeling of 'flying'... RM50 gone within 3 minutes...


    OMG! I looked so ugly! I forgot my sun glasses! :( Everyone with sun glasses except me :(


    Next Bali post - The Turtle Island with 'chicken fight' video...

    Bali trip - Day 2 (Plantations)

    After Volcano, we went to see the plantations.
    Coco, coffee beans, buah salak, rambutan trees and so on...
    It was located at mountainside, so the place is quite cooling...
    Drinking hot drinks in this type of weather, nice...

    All of us


    Antique kettle... My mom is still using this at home, but of course a cleaner one...


    How their 'roast' the coffee bean


    Again, I suspected this is another staff who was hired for the tourists to take photo...


    Me 'grinding' the coffee beans... (Sorry for the blur photo, the tour guide took it, I did not want to 'hurt' him by asking him to take one more)


    Coffee tasting session...
    All these drinks are free, they hope you will buy from them if u find them good... (And we were those "water fishes", cos we bought some)
    From top to bottom, Balinese coffee, coco drink, Ginseng coffee (chee sin, RP300,000.00 per packet of 30 sachet!!! Means RM100 per packet, Siow!), Lemon Grass drink, and Ginger tea.
    We bought some coffee powder, and order 2 extra cup of Bali special coffee (RM10 per cup)

    Bali - Day 2 (Kintamani)


    Scenery of the active volcano and lake Batur
    Next, we headed to Kintamani. (1 hour drive)
    Almost everyone except the driver fell asleep during the journey. The roads are like Cameron highland's, with a lot of twists and turns around the hill corners...


    Scenery of the active volcano and lake Batur



    According to the tour guide, the volcano is still active. I was so kiasi, i was so worried that the volcano will spew anytime...



    Bad timing to take photo because the volcano was covered by the clouds. The place is actually a highland, we like the temperature there...


    Had buffet lunch there...
    Lots of BABI products... Satay Babi - Limited to 2 stick per customers


    View of the Volcano and the lake from the restaurant...

    Bali trip -Day two (Celuk)

    After the Barung and Keris dance.
    Our next destination was Celuk -
    Gold and Silver at work. A place that the tourists' throat can be chopped easily (means they sell the things in a higher price to tourist). They claimed that all the silver decorative and jeweleries are all handmade, but i saw only one lady worker who was "making" the jeweleries...

    This the the lady worker that I was referring to. I suspected she was hired for tourist to take photos only.


    I think this is definitely not her work loh... shshsh.... Maybe I should not judge her like that. I am sorry...


    I don remember the price. But I remember that they are selling a simple silver chain for USD100. With USD100 I think I can buy a pair of small gold ear rings or a tiny pendant...


    I think this is a house and not a temple...
    I cant really differentiate which is house and which is temple even after staying there for days!
    They looked the same, it is confusing...


    This is one of the window, I m impressed by their wood craving work!
    Nice right?


    Next - The Volcano.... Stay tunned!

    Bali trip - day 1

    Back from Bali.
    I had a great time! Spent whole week with my dear. We went to Melaka too. Photos on Melaka will not be posted so soon... stay tuned ya...

    Day 1
    Sign of arriving...
    Spotted Volcano from the plane


    Sign of arriving 2
    Beach...


    Kuta beach - the surfer paradise
    Near our hotel, we stayed in Harris-Kuta-Resort
    There was a bombing in 2004 @ Matahari which killed 20 ppl, the place is 15minutes walking distance from our hotel.


    The hotel is only 4 stories...
    Bali does not have tall buildings...


    Another hotel view


    Out welcome drink - orange juice. The hotel Logo is orange in color, their decorations also mostly in orange color. An Orange hotel...


    Lunch is not included in out tour package on the first day. We found a Balinese-chinese stall near our hotel. We had our lunch there, found out that the owner of the stall speak chinese, therefore we had our suppers there on subsequent days...


    Babi Guling - not the authentic one, we have no time to try the authentic one as it is very far from where we stayed, so we tried it in hawker stall only.


    Bintang beer - Bali famous beer...
