Bali Island - 2nd day

Alright, here's the 2nd day of our huge group trip to Bali Island.

Woke up early at 7 am in the morning for breakfast. I have earlier on planned and arranged a 1 day tour with a agency there via email. Since there were 20 people of us, so a bus was arranged. At 8.10am, we all walked to the beach waiting for pick up. 1st stop was a dance performance called the Barong Dance at Batubulan Village. It was a huge place with a seating capacity of at least 400 pax. Anyway, the dance was not what we all expected. This dance comes with a story and jokes that somehow did not impress any of us. It took an hour for the performance to finish. I bet someone did fall asleep during the show.. hee hee

Next we were brought to a Gold and Silversmith located in Celuk. It was a quick drop in as we left in just 15 minutes. No one bought anything there except for Rachel I think. I think not much commision the guide could fork out of us... hee hee. We hopped back onto our bus and head for the Mount Batur in Kintamani. It was raining cats and dogs when we arrive and the fog covered the view of the mountain. It was rather dissapointing but there's nothing much we could do about it. The buffet lunch otherwise was quite good actually with quite a lot of food choices to savour. We filled up our stomach and head to our next destination - The Tirta Empul Temple. It was still raining when we reached but nothing gonna stop us. The temple was a small one but had some history behind it. We saw worshippers cleansing themselves in the cold spring water pools before they could enter the temple. From adults to even kids were bravering the cold just to pay their respect and worship the gods. As we board our bus again, Ms Yean then requested to visit the rice paddy terrace field. She mention it was quite a view. So I talk to our guide and we did drop by for some pictures... hee hee


We were then brought to the Art market in Ubud for some shopping. Arrive the market at 4.45pm and we were only given 45 minutes to shop as the guide said time is running short. Now this is the place where the ladies showed their barganing skills. Price not right, moved on and eventually they will call you back and then you will feel proud as you had win the price negotiation. But you'll feel sad when someone else purchase the same thing with a lower price. Anyway, I think almost everyone bought something there. We then rush to Uluwatu for the Temple on the Rock. It will take 1 and half hours to reach. When we reach there, it was already pitch black. Some of guys are already pissed with the long distance drive. We did not enter the temple. We then head for our last destination, Jimbaran Beach for seafood dinner. All 20 of us, sits on the beach sand, listening to the waves while waiting for our food to be serve. The seafood dinner was quite good. We were given crab, prawns, fish, clams, cuttlefish, soup and vegetables. This meal will at least cost RM35 - RM45 in Kuala Lumpur per person. As it was our last stop, Kevin bought us all beers to go along with the food. Thank you so much Kevin!

There ends our 1 day tour. The journey from one place to another was too far as we spent most of the time on the bus itself. As for the lunch and dinner, it was very worth it indeed. All in transport, meals, entrance tickets etc etc for 12 hours... 1 pax is only at about RM70. A good deal!

It was about 9.30pm when we reach our hotel and we decided to head for a dip in the pool. The pool was filled with young westerners which to the guys are very entertaining.. hee hee.. we all chit chatted and drank more beers. As the time almost reaches midnight, I then suggested to go for a walk at the Legian street... hee hee... at 1st I thought no one will follow Tracy and I but then I was wrong. Daniel, Reis, KP, PZ, Butt, Mark, Kevin and Rachel tagged along. We chose a discotheque without air conditioning. Very stuffy inside but still a lot of patrons. Saw some local chicks dancing on the stage while we down our beers again... hee hee... We ended the night at about 2am++.

There goes another day! Tune in for more exciting happenings the last few days. SEXTIFACTION GUARANTEED! .. hee hee....See ya!
