Bali-Day 2

Sorry for the delay, been quite busy these days. :/ Day two started with breakfast at the hotel. Tried some Indonesian or rather Balinese food.

Some fried "kuih".

After breakfast, before moving on to meet our tour guide, we came across a drink stall.
Of course, it was traditional Balinese drink.

This is how my sis reacted.


These are the ingredients used to make the drink. Cocktail of rice,ginger, pepper, meant for pregnant women.hahaha

Here's a pic of the guide showing us that day's journey.

Along the way, you can see sculptures like these, stone-carved.

Stopped by a gas station for a leak. Apparently, if i've not mistaken, biofuels were available at the petrol stations!

Went to a batik processing factory. The place was filled with tourists!

Moving on to visit silversmiths. Hmm, apparently most of the crafts people are actually women.


House like this is the trademark of Bali.haha

Random shot taken along the journey. It was quite a long one, around 2-3 hours i guess. Unfortunately our bus's air-conditioner was not well-maintained. Can smell carbon monoxide, especially at the place where im sitting. Makes me real dizzy.

Another pit stop at a souvenir shop for leak(you know, a bunch of ah maS) and shopping. Our destination was Kintamani where you can see Batur Lake and active volcano mount Batur.


Had our lunch in a restaurant perched high up. The weather was rather cold for me.lol

You can see these "flags" along the roads of Bali only during certain time of the year if im not wrong, during certain religious event.
To be continued...haha sorry again! :D

Bali-Day 1

Well, day one was just Kuching airport--->KLIA--->Denpasar,Bali airport--->Dinner--->Harris Riverview hotel---> sleep. Flight from KL to Bali takes about 3hours. Local time at Bali is same as local Malaysian time.

Shooting out the plane's window using a polarizing filter and this is what i get.hahah


Flying over one of the Java island's volcano! the scene was breathtaking!

Sunset taken in the clouds.

We reached Denpasar about 7.30pm and were greeted with flower garlands put around our neck. The smell of the flower was heavy, made us sneeze non-stop.haha There, we joined a group of 8 female senior citizens from KL(quite unlucky?) for our tour.The tour group basically just consists of my family,the 8 ah maS(let me call them this), the tour guide and the driver. Hopped on to a mini bus, which was the vehicle for our whole journey, and headed for dinner at a place called Malioboro. It's famous for fried chicken and fish where the bones become crispy enough to be eaten together!

Petai fried with sambal anchovies.

The famous fried chicken.

Fried fish wrapped in "flour net".

The dinner was pretty expensive. Spent about RM80 for this three small dishes, some steamed rice and drinks. After dinner we were sent to our hotels.We stayed at Harris Riverview Kuta, while the ah maS stayed at Lavender hotel.

A double bed room where i spent my three nights at Bali. A family of four would require two rooms. The rooms were quite beautiful with orange and light green as the hotel's trademark colour.haha


Sunrise at the hotel.

That's all for day 1, i'll post some more after i've done processing them!=)
