Bali trip happened in April, and is already December now.
Such a turtle, snail and sloth speed weh to produce this blogpost~~~
AND!!!
I am flying off to Taiwan in another....7 days!!!
OMG, I am so excited!!!
My first countdown experience in oversea.
Okok, back to the topic.
Today I am going to blog about my Bali trip with my Number 1 BFF gang~
As this trip happened MONTHS ago, so I will only share the tourist spots and not the expenses I spent in Indonesia, lupa liao ma, what to do.
*Blogger phailed max~*
Bali is a travel hotspot for the Malaysians, and trust me,it is so so so easy to arrange the trip.
Get yourself a Bali driver, contact him, discuss about the quotation and itinerary, book your stay, pack your things and just depart. Frankly speaking, my Bali trip itinerary is so so so free & easy that we not really follow the itinerary as planned, we just stopped by at places that we felt we want to stay at.
GoMitty going to write 2 blogposts for my Bali vacation trip:
1) My Day 1- Day 4 trip
2) Reviews for Private Villa
3) Tips for Bali Spa, Bali Guide Driver and how to throw out a simple private party in Bali.
DAY 1
Four of us are so excited for our very FIRST bff trip
Finally touched down at
Ngurah Rai International Airport after a 2 hours flight
I am in Bali
The first thing I need to do after touchdown is EAT.
So, hello babi guling
In english it will become rolling pig
Bali, is famous with its Luwak Coffee, initially we didn't plan for any coffee plantation farm visit.
But, since we passed by Bukit Sari Pecatu Agrotourism while we were on the way to Padang-padang Beach, so, why not we give it a visit?
Luwak coffee is a coffee made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm civet then passed through its digestive tract. The beans are then defecated, keeping their shape. After thorough washing, sun drying, light roasting and brewing, these beans yield an aromatic cofee with much less bitterness(with some sourness).
The pity civet cat :'(
Luwak coffee beans that had been defecated by civets
The coffees and teas menu.
Up to 12 types of choices, all in one price.
Spot the number 13, is Luwak coffee which you need to pay extra for it.
Coffee Time with my favourite girls
Yours truly, GoMitty, with the aromatic teas and coffees.
And yes, Mitty Rabbit had her own personal shot too.
After a relaxing moment at coffee plantation farm, we then head to Padang-Padang Beach. Those Westerns come here with surfboards, so ya, many eyes catching cute guys and sexy bikini ladies here.
People wear swimsuits, we wear casual T to beach.
Nice water kicking shot from my Bear.
<3 the cute boy.
Actually, he is the one who photobombed my picture hor.
We spent around 30 minutes at Padang-Padang Beach, before heading over to Uluwatu Temple.
Uluwatu Temple, or Pura Luhur Uluwatu is one of the six key temples in Bali and it is renowned for its magnificent location, located on top of steep cliff which is approximately 70m above sea level.
Uluwatu Temple and Tanah Lot are the must go place in Bali for its sunset delights. But, I wasn't lucky enough to watch the beautiful sunset at Uluwatu and Tanah Lot.
Guys and girls, you can borrow the Purple Sarong at the entrance if you are wearing shorts or mini skirts.
Entrance fee: RP 40k per person
Such a magnificent view.
Overlook the Indian Ocean from the cliff.
Gossip girls at Uluwatu.
The buildings behind me is where the main temple located.
Up next, seafood feast at Jimbaran Beach.
We took our meal at this restaurant which offers live band and
traditional dance performance.
Enjoyed our dinner with prawns, lobsters, fish~
A great day ends with great meal and a comfortable bed.
Will blog more about our private villa in next blog post.
DAY 2
Guide driver picked us up from our villa and we started our days with a simple breakfast at this stall.
Heavy breakfast but yes, it is nice!
Saw a Havaianas Outlet Store near Jalan Kuta, so we dropped by and had a short shopping session over there.
After the shopping session, we then headed over to another must visit place in Bali, Tanah Lot.
Tanah Lot means "Land Sea" in the Balinese language, and the Tanah Lot Temple located on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the Indian Ocean tide. At the base of the rocky island, venomous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. -----Information from Wikipedia
The best time to visit Tanah Lot is during sunset.
Entrance fee: Rp30k/person
Tanah Lot Temple
Reachable during low tide
Gossip girls at Tanah Lot.
Mitty Rabbit checked in to Tanah Lot.
I personally prefer Pura Batu Bolong,another temple in Tanah Lot area, just next to Pura Tanah Lot.
Don't ask me why. I just feel that the rock is simply beautiful.
Pura Batu Bolong
We then moved to Bedugul area, and we stopped by at this stall for Soto Bakso.
Omg, the meat ball tastes really good, and four of us ordered another set after we finished our first bowl.
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, as featured in 50,000 Indonesian Rupiah, is a water temple located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. Built in 1633, this temple is used for offerings ceremony to the Balinese water, lake and river goddess Dewi Danu, due to the importance of Lake Bratan as a main source of irrigation in central Bali. -----Information from Wikipedia
It rains during our visit to Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, but we can rent the umbrella from the locals and return it to the person at exit gate.
We then off to La Laguna, a beach club in Canggu.
My advice is to visit La Laguna before the sunset for some instagram-worth pictures.
Foods wasn't good, so we paid for the ambiance.
There are several beach clubs in Bali, examples Ku De Ta, Potato Head, Finns etc etc.
We sat at the lawn area.
Really a great place to chill out at night, with some awesome background music.
You can choose to sit at indoor area.
A western concept toilet with some oriental feeling at rest rooms.
DAY 3
We did not request for guide driver service during our day 3 in Bali as we want to spend our girl time in our beautiful private villa, enjoy our Bali spa session, and not forgetting to throw out a Bridal Shower for Lulu and Birthday Party for Bear. That's why, it is a NO sightseeing day for us.
We had our pool party
(Only music, no beers, no foods, WTF)
We then had our Brunch at Sea Circus (MUST GO restaurant in Seminyak, my dear readers, please put this into your itinerary kay~). Sea circus has a playful color interior and murals. Plus, it offers good Mexican foods with good music selections.
You should search for the pictures of Sea Circus at Instagram.
I give 5 stars to the interior design, ambiance and foods.
Price was reasonable too.
My Spicy Prawn Quesadillas
Yummylicious
We loved our foods so much
Even the toilets are so cute.
Nice place for girls to selfie, wefie and whatever fie you can think of.
We booked a slot for Spa at Murano Spa and they offered pick up service too.
I had a great time and, masseurs skill was good.
Yes, GoMitty walked out from the Spa Centre with smiley face.
I took the package with Traditional Massage, Javanese Lulur and Rose Bath.
My Spa Room
We had our dinner at Bistro Batu Kali with delicious foods.
Another hangout place with good environment and live band singing.
DAY 4
Nothing in Day 4 is worth to blog about, because we took the morning flight leaving this beautiful island.
Will I revisit Bali?
Yes, I will. But not in upcoming years.
I heard people saying Bali is too commercialized, what GoMitty thinks?
Well, is true that it is a commercialize tourist spot. I had the same thought too. I thought this gonna be my only visit to Bali, but hey, I said I will revisit Bali because I found reasons for me to revisit. I not going to do any sightseeing stuffs during my next visit, but I going to book private villa with pool, visit the Rock Bar, Beach Clubs and yes, I wish to take up surfing course during my next trip too.
So dear readers, I will blog about my stay at Private Villa (with swimming pool) in my next post.
In the meanwhile, I am flying off to Taiwan for my countdown trip in another 7 days.
Will update my FB more frequently, so check them out yo!
