3D2N – Bali Trip
We left Singapore at 10am and upon reaching Bali, we checked in at a place called Oranjje Hotel Kuta at Legian Area.
The first thing we did was to supply ourselves with some shorts and clothes!
We bought a dress, shorts and pants! We then looked for a driver at our hotel and we made some deals for him to bring us around Bali.
Our first stop is at a place called Uluwatu located at south Bali. This is the first time i see waves so strong with such large waves…
Uluwatu is famous for its cliff-hanging temple where there is a temple right at the edge of the cliff.
The place has many cliffs where people would walk from one cliff to the other to look at what the view has to offer.
I think by far the nicest is at the far left corner where here is a very long and large cliff with waves of oceans gently flowing to the beach..
Of course, with such nice sceneries, it’ll be crazy without taking pictures of ourselves…
Oh, did I mention that this place is filled with monkeys? There are monkeys EVERYWHERE!
After Uluwatu, we headed to Jimbaran where we had seafood dinner by the beach, while watching the sun set.
In the evening, we headed back to Legian area and we walked around the area and by the beach. We even did a 1 hour balinese massage! The massage there is rather cheap, approx SGD$8 per hour/pax
The next day, we went to Tanah Lot where the place is known for the temple on a rock. After entering through the main entrance, we were first greeted with an array of souvenirs shops and there, we bought hats and sunglasses.
After all that, we reached the beach where the temple is sitting on the rock
Again, the waves here are super duper strong.
You can see surfers enjoying the waves there..
After Tanah Lot, we headed to Ubud. On the way there, we ate Babi Guling which is a delicacy at Bali.
There are some parts that it was rather weird for me.. At times, I don’t even know what I’m eating.. hahah.. But I like the pig skin.. I even ordered another plate just with the pig skin… =D
Then, we went to see some balinese painting in action..
But too bad, didn’t really know how to appreciate those paintings and we just headed straight to Ubud where, it’s a shopping haven for many.
It’s the flea market concept where you can bargain up to 20% of their starting price. It’s crazy theree…
But after a while, we realized that all the shops there sell almost the same thing.. hahah.. but some of them have really nice handicrafts
After the tireless walking, we then headed back to Legian.. We had local masakan padang where I think that local shop overcharge us like mad seeing that we’re tourists.
After that, we spent the remaining evening/night with a 3 hour Spa; 1 hour of Balinese massage, 1 hour of Facial and 1 hour of Foot Bath,
It’s quite relaxing but could be better though. The masseuse wasn’t strong enough for me..
On the third and final day, we spend the day at Legian, preparing to fly off to Singapore. In the morning, we shopped around the area and bought cheap DVDs; approx $1 per DVD,
We then had lunch at the cafe & bar. We had tom yam goong and nasi goreng; one of the nicer food we had at Bali.. haha
After lunch, we loitered at a shopping mall near the Airport. We had A&W Float! Something that I haven’t had in years….
We left Bali at 5pm on a 2.5 hours flight back to Singapore. It was a quite a relaxing trip and I won’t mind coming back to Bali again…
I joined them for that morning while my parents went back home. Had a good chat with them and talked about the good ol’ times. Time really flies. All of us have got bigger stomachs already. haha..
