Honeymoon @ Bali

- Part 2 -

it's the Day 3 of our trip... and we went Tanjong Benoa Beach for the Turtle Island and Glass Bottom Boat... it's a very hot sunny day... reached there around 11-ish...

beautiful beach....

i bought this dress there... hahaa... it cost me 50,000 rupiah... !!

random pic taken while we're on the boat...

the blue and green is just nice to the eyes...

my chubby Dear....

flying fish... we wanted to try this but it's way too expensive for us - USD30 for less than a 5 mins "flying" experience !!!

look at the clouds carefully... does it resembles those "birds" in the movie Avatar ???

reached the Turtle Island...
it's called Deluang Sari...

we can actually take pic with the sea turtle...

some of the oldest gigantic turtles...

seagull ?? looked so fierce here... :P

muackkss...

we took a boat back to the beach... and both of us went for the PARASAILING for the first time... and it cost us USD 18 per person !! another less than 5 mins "flying" experience !! hahaa.... too bad, no pics were taken cos we afraid that our camera might get wet...

after cleaning up ourselves at the public toilet, we had our lunch nearby...

the signboard...

our set meal... a soup, fried chicken, some sambal and ulam !!

one of the statue at the roadside... dont know what it's called... hahaa... we were actually very tired and took our short nap when Budi suddenly wakes us up for this statue... :P

finally, we reached Uluwatu Temple for another sunset....

nice view behind me....

it's quite dangerous there... once you fall down, that's it !! hahaa...

a pic of us...

my Dear need to wear a sarung too... hahaa.... so cute ! and that's a pic of our tour guide cum driver - Mr Budi...

did you notice my Dear not wearing his glasses.... cos the monkeys at Uluwatu will actually snatch it away from you.... especially glasses, caps and hats....

me so chubby also... hahaa...

sun and sea...

we're waiting under the hot sun for the Kecak Dance to start...

it's a waste of time... both of us dont really enjoyed it... >.<

our last destination for the day was Jimbaran Bay for a seafood dinner... we're supposed to have a romantic candle light dinner at the beach but the weather was not so good and it's quite windy, so we're seated inside the restaurant...

the set meal includes a fish, 2 small prawns, 2 sticks of sotong, 2 pcs clams and a plate of kangkung... we added a fried sotong and crab !! Yummy ~~

some live band ?? hehee... they sing from table to table and collecting tips...

after finishing our food, we went out to the beach and tried the honey "jagung bakar"....

a push cart selling corns...

delicious ~~

my Dear looked so red here but not because of alcohol... hehee...

right after dinner, we went back to hotel and packed our stuff cos we need to check-out the next day...

next update - Ubud...

- Part 1 -

finally.... finally....

here's the update on my Honeymoon @ Bali... another backdated post... heheee... since it's a 7days trip, and we took like gazillion photos... so, i will separate it in a few posts... be patient ok ???

not gonna write much... let the photos do the talking...

obviously, we're in the plane... i always like the window seat... :P

it's actually drizzling...

we had the in-flight nasi briyani...

finally, we touched down at Ngurah Rai Airport around 8pm... our tour guide - Ketut Budi picked us up and sent us to Wina Holiday Hotel @ Kuta.... we spent 3 nights there...

my Dear checking-in...

Budi was kind enough to drop us to Kuta Square for our late dinner...

had some local delicacies & Bali Hai beer...

we decided to walk back to our hotel rather than taking cab... and we passed by HardRock hotel...

our room for 3 nights...

the next day, we had buffet breakfast by the pool side...

our first destination was the Museum Bali...

there's traditional carving everywhere in Bali...

it's a big museum...

beautiful...

hey, what are you doing there ?

i luv it !! the weather was so nice ~~

lovely blue sky !!

a pic of us... taken by Budi...

nothing special.. hahaa...

next, he sent us to Matahari Department Store for some shopping... it's a place for local, and we love it.. cos the stuff are cheap !!

after some 1 hour shop, we went to Bajra Sandhi Monument...

basically, Budi has explained to us about this building, but after so long... i totally forgot about it... heheee...

at the entrance...

just love the blue sky.... we only have it for that one day only !!

some miniature inside the monument... it's some war !!

we climbed up the tower and saw this old man... a real old man , like 70-80 years old ??!! he is a Japanese and walked with a "stick"... and he was seen taking photos with a DSLR !! he actually managed to climb the narrow staircase up to the top... SALUTE to you !!

random...

.....

we're actually sitting there waiting for the time to pass... cos it's still early for our lunch !!

nice ??

still in Bajra Sandhi Monument...

a pic before we left...

lunch at Bumbu Desa @ Denpasar...

it's a pre-ordered Set Menu - some fried chicken and vegetables...

vege soup, ulam and fruits...

next, we proceeded to Alas Kedaton aka Monkey Forest... it's a scary place... hahaa...

how scary ??

we actually feed the monkeys with peanuts... but they grab from you hand instead... and another monkey actually tried to pull my pants... *faint*

anything special about this tree ?? it's the bat's home, hanging upside down...

we quickly left the scary place and went to Tanah Lot for the sunset....

Hi !!
i think that's the temple behind us...

self timer this time !!

beautiful place... but it's kinda hot up there...

we had some drinks and french fries while waiting for the sunset... but cant really see it !

big waves coming... run ~~

it's a real snake !!! or is it a python ? the small kid was not scared at all...

bought some of it for souvenirs...

another balinese meal...

Dewi Sinta, Tanah Lot... it was already raining by then, so we went back to hotel early for some recharge our battery...

next update - Turtle Island & Uluwatu....
