Bali Trip

Sorry for not updating my blog sooner... I decided to update my blog now since
1. Some ppl tought i kena kidnap by alien
2. Gotta write down my trip feeling b4 i lost them

And so, on 27th january 2008, i reached Bali.... Alone. Before that I knew nothing bout Bali, what to do in Bali, what to see in Bali, what to eat there, what to play, where to go... zero knowledge of Bali. So, when i reached the airport I said to myself "What the heck did I just did, why did I came here alone". but, since i am here, I cant do anything but to go to the north.
And so I booked my hotel and off i go to Bali Restu Hotel. On the way to my hotel, the driver asked me
"Mau saya bawa kamu jalan-jalan tour?"
Without asking the price I said
"boleh"

MISTAKE NUMBER ONE
NEVER EVER, ACCEPT ANY OFFER WITHOUT ASKING THE PRICE

Bali Restu Hotel is located at Jalan Legian, they got western+kampung kinda feeling, you can see it for urself. I really like that hotel. Got swimming pool, great services from bell boy, and even the reception was friendly.

First thing I did was to unpacked my stuffs and bathed, and then together with a map and a camera, I went out and have a look at Jalan Legian (its where the famous bombing happened).

And the I went back to my hotel, and there the taxi driver waiting for me. First place we went is restaurant

The place is really nice, and its near the beach...So u can enjoy the food while looking at the beach. And they got the best ikan bakar. ^^

"The bitch... eh, wrong. I mean the beach"

Next place is Tanah Lot. You need to pay rupiah 10,000 to get it (rm4), but the fella charge me for rp15,000 (the driver said sumting to the fella in bali language). And i said 2 myself, Im gonna fire you 2morrow dude.

Tanah Lot is a temple near the sea, and a lot of tourist went there. Tourists = small shops selling cipalang stuffs.

"Cipalang"

The best part is their temple!!








"entrance"





"DAMN CHA NICE"
Walau eh, I almost cried when I see this. Some kalefe temple

"even their cafe is so peaceful"







"take photo with the snakes, I promise it wont bite"

"Touched till the bottom of my hear, really"

I spends few hours there, watch the sun. I really really dont want to leave the place. But, life goes on, the chocolates need to be eaten before it expires. On the way back, I asked the price...
"taxinya mau bayar berapa?"
"oo, rp400,000"

walaueh, kanasai.... normal price is rp300,000

MISTAKE NUMBER 2
ALWAYS, I REALLY MEAN ALWAYS BARGAIN WITH THE SELLER

So, thats first day in Bali
I will, post up more pics next time...
