Bali :: Part 1

Have been busy lately.. Erm.. Preparing for up coming event.. LOL
It's the right time to blog about our recent Bali trip. Awesome. Exhausted. Fun.
Being 'experience' in Bali giving us advantage to explore only places worth for visit. Skipped Uluwatu temple to avoid the monkeysss... :p

19th April 2011 - Our flight was at 3.45pm. Managed to catch some sleep (too bored). AND participated in the quiz as well. Celebrating one of the passenger's birthday on board with Birthday Song. Air Asia was kind enough to give complimentary voucher to that passenger. I think they have additional Renaissance voucher to give away and I got it by answering the question. What is the only male flight attendant's name onboard? Being an observant, I remembered his name. Haha. My sis said, I am so 'gatal' to remember guys' name. @@

Bali.. I'm coming!!!!

Ta-daa... Thanks to AA for the voucher..

Arrived Denpasar International Airport about 7pm. Met Encik Bagus and his staff, Adi at the airport lobby. There were so many taxi drivers. Please book your tour guide in advance and do not fall into trap as most of the taxi drivers at the airport overcharging the tourists. Adi drove us to Ubud, 1 hour from the airport. We had our dinner at Naughty's Nuri Warung as recommended.

A satisfying dinner place

 

Pork Chop

Spare Rib

Bluurrpp... The bill wasn't cheap. We paid about Rp380,000 inclusive tax. Dewa from Jati Home Stay picked us up after dinner.

Day 2, 20th April 2011:
The sun rises as early as 6am in Bali. Chirping sound of birds with rooster crowing in the morning - our alarm clock in Ubud.. :)

Morning walk, breakfast and waited for Adi.

Our breakfast at Jati Homestay - banana pancake

Our first destination - Nusa Dua Beach as I wanted to go for water sports. First time experiencing parasailing in Bali was totally a great fun I had. :)

Good landing for first timer.. woohooo

After Nusa Dua, Adi drove us to another beach. Dreamland beach. Wow...
The weather was freaking hot.. Feel like sauna... We managed to shoot some nice pictures :)

 

Lunch time.. As planned, Adi drove us back to Ubud for Babi Guling Ibu Oka. Highly recommended by forumers. But I think the taste was just average. Nothing special. We paid for Rp35,000 for a plate for rice, slices of meat, skin and some vege.

One of the famous Babi Guling in Bali

Adi sent us back to Jati Homestay after done with the lunch. We freshened up and headed to Sang Spa. Driver from Sang Spa was earlier than expected. :)

We paid Rp150,000 (RM53) for 1 hour traditional massage and 1 hour body scrub + flower bath.

The same driver drop us off at Bebek Bengil for dinner after spa. Erm... Eat.Play.Eat.Play...
Bebek Bengil or also known as crispy duck is one of the food to try in Bali. Nice ambiance with average taste. Another tourist trap for the overpriced meal.

Bebek Bengil set - half a baby duck + rice

Gado-gado

Alpukat or avocado juice

I like this photo :)
