Bali Vacation Part3

If you think Bali is purely a beach resort place, then you are very wrong. FYI, this island is about 8 times the size of Singapore, and today (though I'm not really interested) we are going to see the Volcano...






Some temple, we almost mistook it as the one with Holy Water...






There's the Volcano. Long story short, we skipped one of the main temples because the tour guide told us that "the local villagers are dangerous"







Rice terrace, one of the places of interest... I can't wait to go back to hotel







We were very fortunate to have such good weather, for now is monsoon season & "by right" raining everyday.





Lunch the next day:






Starter + Main + Drink, guess how much the above cost?

S$7+ only








Bali Bombing 2002 Memorial








Finally a shop with CUSTOMERS!

Quiksilver products from 50~80% discount, whee~







AGAIN, another meal @ the Rp 40,000 grilled tuna place...
I had Sirlion steak this time, taste average






Goodbye Bali~






Hello Singapore~

Bali Vacation Part2

Breakfast: banana pancake at the hotel







FREE wifi at half the restaurants, I like...







Fish & Chips for lunch.
Turned out they used tuna, interesting choice...







Went to look around the place, its disappointing to see most shops are selling mass produced souvenirs... And walking from hotel to the shopping centre, we passed-by 7, yes SEVEN, D&G outlets -.-







Road is blocked for some rituals.
We were advised not to take photo from the front..







Gosh, look at what computer the travel agency is using!

Big-o-CRT, printer running on printer ports & no USB ports, antique







Lunch @ another wifi-enabled-restaurant







Huge Ripcurl outlet, no sale, no discount...







Back to the Rp40,000 place for dinner, had mixed grill this time round...

Bali Vacation Part1

Taxi straight to hotel, winding through narrow streets in the darkness..

No need to bargain, prices all listed out black & white at the airport taxi service counter, which is a good thing.







Welcome drink @ the hotel reception







Lokha Legian, the hotel is only about a year plus old, according to our taxi driver...







Some Hindu ritual going in the morning, hotel staff told us that they were celebrating for the full moon or something like that...



Looking for lunch after getting conned 200,000 by the money changer fucker. Screw those "Authorized Money Changer" signboards. I would advice others to change their money at the airport, hotel or banks, you can't beat those magician-money-changers...



Rp 40,000 is only about S$5.70, sounds reasonable, decided to give this a try...







Better than you can expect from a sub-$6 meal




Slack in the hotel room reading Dan Brown's Angels & Demons for the rest of the afternoon...






Cabbed here for dinner...







Nearby restaurants were pretty expensive, but... PizzaHut??







Turned out dining at Bali's PizzaHut is a totally different dining experience as compared to Singapore. The waiters & waitresses were very friendly, "You can call of me if you need anything". They even ask how we find the food after our meal.
