Bali

BALI
A relax trip...

Upon arrival at Denpasar Airport, you will see alot of foreigner from western countries. While I carry my lugggage, there was an airport staff approach me and volunteer to carry my luggage. I am shocked with their service so I have rejected it. I guess I always carry a cautious heart that make me can't believe strangers.  

Finally we reached Sun Island Hotel located at Kuta, while we check in, a glass of healthy juice (Guava + Pineapple) was served. Yummy, I really like it.


Day 1
Kuta - Kintamani
Barong dance performance with music. Those music performers and equipments are old but they played it very well. Overall the performance quite boring and the performance was slightly difference from the story line we had. 


After the performance, we heading to Kintamani to view the active volcano - Gunung Berapi Agung. We had lunch beside the volcano and the weather is cold like our Genting Highlands. There is a big lake beside the volcano, a place that I can take deep breath. After lunch, the moment I stepped out there were 2 little kids selling me their post cards and pens. At first, I really thought to buy from them but it was too pricy and tour guide already alert us that we shouldnt buy any from them. The reason is they are not honest and will change the goods when we get our money. They should change their business style as this will scare tourists away:(

On the way back, we visited agriculture plantation site and seen all kinds of plantation eg. coffee beans, ginger plant, vanilla, big papaya, guava, etc.. They served us coffee, lemon grass tea, ginger tea and cocoa drinks. I love lemon grass tea the most.


After plantation, we are heading to temple. A holy place that we need to wear sarung as we are not allowed to show our leg. The distance from one to another taken up few hours and we were tired after sit too long... Tour guide recommended us for spa and massage, a must activity in Bali. This is the 2nd time that I tried balinese massage but it was my first time to try jacuzzi. Well, we almost died of electrical shock. The power point for jacuzzi has short circuit and luckily we were escaped. 真是有惊无险!

Our last activity of the day, is DInner time!!!! We will have dinner on the beach - grilled seafood platter . While we were waiting for the meal, I went to buy grilled corn. Oh my that was really delicious snack that I ever had..
