Day 4 @ Bali

We checked out from the Legian Hotel and then proceed to Benoa beach for water sport activities. It was the extra activities which was not included in our tour package. We did the discussion and selected the package which included the glass bottom boat, snorkeling and turtle island. It cost 20 USD per person.

* Bali’s snorkeling is not as good as Pulau Redang or even Pulau Pangkor. lol….So, you better take other water sport activities rather than this.

* So called the “glass bottom boat” is really make you frightening because you will see nothing underneath beside of the sea grass and sand.

* Conclusion, it’s not worth for paying 20 USD to pick these activities.

Benoa beach



We do the snorkeling here tau! The fish are little only. I think we’re spending half an hour around here for swimming more than snorkeling.


This guy fishing beside of the place we’re snorkeling. (No wonder part of the fish has been catching by him. lol)

Afterward, we headed for Turtle Island. It’s not an island; it’s actually a farm they called as “Turtle Island”. The farm was mainly for artificial incubation the sea turtle.


The visitors are allowed to hold the sea turtle and photographing with it.


This was actually big and heavy.


Its skin texture is very nice.

This Malay girl has a great strength to hold the sea turtle by herself.

Yen Leng never felt nervous of the snake putting on her body. geng!


The anger was standing on my sister’s shoulder.


When my turns, the anger was like want to peck me.



There was another unimaginable thing that happened at Turtle Island. We saw a banner hanging at the exit which was appealing to do donation to their farm. We got no money at that time. As you know that nobody would bring along their wallet out for snorkeling, am I right? The donation end up was like we must to write down our name and the amount of donation on piece of paper, then they’ll follow you back to get the money. The amount was limit to minimum Rp10, 000. What the…… Do they understand the meaning of donation?

We paid USD 18 for another water sport activity, fly fish. I feel like playing the second round of it because it was too syok. No idea of how is that look like? Please watch the video as below.


It’s not recording by us. I get it from YouTube.

Aston Hotel where was around Benoa beach. We checked in the hotel with body wet situation, felt kinda uncomfortable. This hotel was much better than Legian Hotel. Of cause it was 5 stars hotel and RM400 ++ per night for standard room. We’ll stay here for two days.











Once we got the room key, we took a quick shower and then went for our lunch. We’re supposed to eat the Bebek Bengil, unfortunately the restaurant was under revolution. So the Babi guling would be our second choice.


Babi guling. It’s ok for me. But some of them don’t like it.

Dreamland was another beach for surfing and the “papaya” hanging around there. You should get what I mean. Perhaps this time we been there crowded of people and couldn't see any “papaya trees”. I’m not desperate to see that though.

Last station, Uluwatu where was the cliff temple. We arrived there was the right time to see sunset. It was a nice place, but the visitors were always being disturbing by the monkey. All the monkeys were actually trained by the local people to grabs visitor’s stuff. Once your things kena grabs by the monkey, you have to redeem it from them with the money. They charge you according the valuable of your stuff. Normally the monkey will grab your sunglasses, caps, specs and necklace.

I am the half of blind person once taking down my glasses. It was super not convenience to visit this place. I roughly to photograph the view and all that as I couldn’t see everything in clearly. Surprisingly, the outcome wasn’t that bad. :P

The cliff and wave was great until you feel like jumping down to there.

To be continue....

Day 3 @ Bali

As usual, we woke up early and had the breakfast at hotel. Then we walked to Kuta beach where nearby the Legian Street.




Kuta beach is famous of surfing. Therefore, swimming prohibited around here.


Reflection. (Somehow the photo lacks kind of feeling. I’ll do further touch up for this photo later. Suggestions are welcome. Hehe..)

Sun chairs

We came back to the hotel earlier as Dana picked us up at 11am. My sister and I went to hotel’s swimming pool enjoyed the morning sunlight meanwhile I taking some photos.

We proceed to the next place, Taman Ayun. No deny that temples are one of the interesting places at Bali. This was the third temple we had been. Further temple will be visited in the coming days as well.

You may go up stair and view the whole garden.


Panorama shot.

The Balinese gather here for chicken fighting.


Before we leave here.....

The women ready for attend the wedding dinner.

Passed through many the paddy fields and tortuous paths, we arrived the restaurant where located at the mountain, Pacung. It was lunch buffer again. The foods nicer than the previous day we had.

Enjoy your lunch and nice view at the same time. The resort was available at the downside. The paddy fields around it were belonging to the resort. Room rate per night up to hundreds US dollar.

Next, we went to temple again. The different was the temple build up on the lake. Thus, it is called Lake Temple, Bedugul. Here was super windy and its weather was changing all the time.

They’re walking to the bridge and ready for group photo. Dana predicted that and came over help us to shoot photo.

Again, we went to temple. Tanah Lot was the most famous among all the temples in the Bali. It is considered the must-go places.

I like this shot. Develop into HDR later.

Thanks to my sister that she’s manage to capture the wave coming.

The wave is splashed on the cliff.

Abang, still can fishing at there keh?

We spent around 45 minutes at Tanah Lot’s market. All the paintings that I bought get it from here.

* Try to arrange more time at this market; you will get the reasonable price for the key chains, painting, clothing, and any kind of souvenirs. Do remember negotiate in Bahasa.

Unfortunately, 45 minutes was not enough for us to crazy shopping, really.

We rush up to the last station, Jimbaran where enjoy the sunset dinner. Damn the sky get dark after 6pm. We got no chance to see the sunset. We arrived there at 7.15pm; the sun was already tenggelam ke dalam laut. B_bi!

Luckily the seafood was nice except the crab. I wondered how they cook it until you can’t even find the crab meat. @.@

By the way, it was recommended restaurant.

Candle light dinner. Is here romantic? (I’m not managed to capture the romantic feel though. Haha..)

The dish contained of fried sotong, shell, ikan bakar, prawns and crab.

Yea, a team of Balinese come around to your table and perform the song. They are capable to sing various kind of language, such as Japanese, Korean, Malay, English, and Chinese. They get to know that we are from Malaysia, so they present the Chinese song called “Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin”, original singer was Teng Li Jun (Cantonese: Tang Lai Guan). Their pronunciation weren’t that accurate, but it’s acceptable and worth to give a clap. Last step, request for the donation. We donated Rp10, 000 (approx. RM3.30) to them. Kedekut kan? Haha…..

8.30pm, we went back to hotel and rest. The next day we were going to check out from the hotel and go for water sport.
