Bali trip Part II

Marvellous! Kintamani - in the centre of Bali. It is the highlight of the trip. The scenic view of a fresh mountain air and the active Batur volcano.

Have a coffee break. I still prefer Malaysia coffee than Bali coffee in term of the delicious aroma from the cooked coffee. Guess what is the cinnamon for? It is used for stirring the drink and the spoon is to hold lump sugar. :P

Let me stop by Pura Tirta Empul for a bath. This temple is one of the six most important temples in Bali. The name 'Tirta Empul' signifies a crystal clear stream which is used as the holy water for various religious ceremony. The water believed to be the source of life and prosperity. Inside the inner sanctum, there are a number of bathing pools for the Hindus.


The exquisite twin shrines and split gate, very common in most temples or places in Bali.

A huge open air complex in the courtyard where you could take a seat and do nothing.

The beautiful rice terrace unfolding from the foot of mountain until the coastal side.

Alas Kedaton, a famous monkey forest in Bali located in Tabanan Regency, west part of Bali . It is about 1 hour drives from Denpasar town and it is situated in the middle of rice field. This forest is dwelt by the group of monkeys, bats and other wild animals.
The monkeys in Alas Kedaton are very tame and free gallivanting in the temple yard, playing around and scrambling of food.

The colony of bats can be seen on the day and they usually hang on the top of trees. Most of the bats here own the big wing and mostly eat any kind fruit.

Nusa Dua vs Kuta Beach
I decided to get around Bali with a motorcycle for the last day in Bali.
First stop, Nusa Dua. It is an elite resort area with international five star hotels and resorts existing on the coastal side in south part of Bali.

Nusa Dua Entrance Monument


Nusa Dua is designed to make guests feel comfortable in every way possible. As well as fantastic resort facilities, every effort has been made to eliminate factors that may hinder a guest's enjoyment. All main access routes to the Nusa Dua complex have a ‘gate’, which staffed by security staff, stopping vehicles to check on people coming and going. As a private complex, locals are not allowed to sell trinkets, set up a handicrafts store on the side walk or drag a bakso cart around. This area is more quiet than Kuta beach.

Well, a lot of squirrels which live happily here. They are so relax and do not afraid of people.

Oh yeah, a low cost and open air massage.




The gate to water blow.

Special menu for lunch Hot plate suckling pig + 3 satay with rice and soup costs me Rp. 30,000.

How can I forgot the Balinese massage and spa.


Stop by Kuta beach in the evening - Kuta is the most famous tourist places in Bali. The spectacular of white sandy beach, surfing paradise, several hotels from luxury to budget hotels are available, hilarious nightlife, plenty of restaurants with international cuisine, bars, pub, Water Boom Park and shopping center. This is the ideal place to mingle with locals as well as visitors abroad.

What are they eating? Bakso. A delightful meatball and noodle soup, served up fresh for Rp 5,000 only.
Hair styling.

Despite of countless Hindu temples in Bali, I can still see Chinese temple and church.

End my day with a sumptuous western dinner.
