30/1/10
- our flight wth air asia departed at 1025am. we had our bfast at lcct ajer kinda rush jugakla. smpt grab puff n softdrink aje.
- arrvd Ngurah Rai airport (named aft a Balinese warrior), DenPasar arnd 120pm camtuh. our hotel van dah siap tunggu. tapi masa d airport tu smpt la dpt kad dr pakcik Bali (pak Sanura) which turned out to be our tourist guide for 2 days. we checked in J Boutique Hotel, Kuta(ni packaged skali ngan flight). dlm 10 mins drv aje dr aiport. oh yes, their welcome drinks was so refreshing n cooling. i guessed its markisa juice. we rest for a while in the room before we went to the nearby stall for nasi padang. there's a big HALAL sign so kita tawakal kedai tu halal la. maklumla..dr org2 yg dah prnh pegi, kene hati2 sket la kat Bali ni for halal food. maklumla..90% citizennye are hindus. aft lunch, we strolled along the road kononye rafik nak sewa kereta n nak drv sendiri d bali (adventurous la konon..heheh) tapi lepas tanya sana sini, the rate was quite high. so,..pikir punye pikir,,,we call Pak Sanura n asked him for his charges bwk kami jln2 Bali. n wallah,,mmg murah la dlm RM180/2days tmasuk drvr n fuel. so..we set for him to fetch us at 4pm (oh yes,,,waktu d bali n mesia sama). Pak Sanura sure was friendly n mmg dia dah biasa bwk org2 muslim malaysia so kitaorg takda maslh carik kedai halal. mcm2 dia borak masa dlm van avanzanye, cite sejarah la cite makan la, cite pasal org Bali la...very informative guy la dia ni. maklumla..he used to work in a hotel. so ptg tu we went to Uluwatu temple. temple ni located kat atas bukit and mengadap lautan Hindi. on the way ke sana, smptla Pak Sanura buat one round masuk dlm golf course (owned by Tommy). kira puas jugakla hati rafik wpun tak dpt main golf..tgk golf course yg cantek tu pun kira dah ok ler. :) we arrvd Uluwatu Temple arnd 6pm. huh..jenuh jugakla berjalan masuk temple tu. sblm masuk kene bayr dulu n we were asked to tie a ribbon aound our waist. ala2 menghormati temple derang la. layan kan jekla...:p temple tu biasa jekla with monyet bergayut sana sini. tapi yg mengkagumkan aku was the scenery mengadap laut tu. fuh!!! lauatan tu seluas mata memandang. mmg cantek dan mengujakan. then dlm 630 we watched the ' kecak dance' performed by the temple people. the story behind the dance was about Sita n Rama, very exciting but the best part was ...the dance was performed at the top of the temple n so we get to witnessed the sunset. Masyaallah...cantek sungguh!..perfomance tu dlm 30mins. so..by then perut pun mula berkeroncong so Pak Sanura brought us for a romantic dinner at Jimbaran. candle light dinner lagi tu...meja betul2 mengadap laut. n while we enjoyed our seafood, two girls were dancing balinese dance on the small stage. n ada la 3-4 org mamat yg main gitar smbl menyanyi from one table to another. twas a very relaxing moment for us...truly....
so...lepas dah kenyang2,,,Pak Sanura brought us to Galuh Bali Spa. we took the couple spa package n we surely enjoyed the 1 hour massage n 1 hour body scrub...perghhh...mmg sedap..i tell u. lepas discrub, a tub filled with warm aromatherapy water, spreaded with rose petals awaits us. apa lagi....rendam time...hehheh,..,.
31/1/10
- aft bfast d hotel, Pak Sanura fetched us at 830am. 1st destination was to the silver jewellery shop, located along the way to Ubud. sepjg2 jln tu, sawah padi kiri kanan and kedai jual berjenis patung berhala. dr patung yg kecik smpi la yg besar2. ngeri jugak bile dah tgk byk2 patung nih. upon arrving the jewellery shop, we were briefed on how a silver bangle was made. mmg semuanye handmade so designnye very limited. pricy jugakla tapi rasa2nye tak jumpa kalau carik kat KL ni. smptla belikan hadiah harijadi for my sis ena, knowing she loved silver n white gold kan. so we got her a silver bangle..n yes..it was pretty n cute.
then we headed to the Karyawan village. kat sini jual paintings aje. the village people sure are creative tapi for me n pik yg tak pandai nak menilai seni ni...what we can say..hrmmm...that the paintings were beautiful and looked so real. according to Pak Sanura, paintings kat sini murah coz ramai malaysian beli byk2 n jual at a handsome price in Mesia.
next we went to Kintamani, the volcano area. pemandangan mmg cantek. kiri kanan boleh nmpk terrace paddy field. masyaallh sgt menghijau sekali. we lunched kat restoran yg terletk betul2 bersebelahan ngan volcano area. boleh nmpk la area bekas larva. sejuk dan nyaman udaranye. klua dr restoran byk org2 bali yg nak menjual souvenir..siap letak kat tangan lg. seboleh2 nak soh beli jugak.
lepas tu Pak Sanura brought us to the Bali Coffee Garden. wallah...dpt rasa pelbagai jenis kopi free kat sana. mmg sedap, nak plak masa tu hujan. mmg kaw!..hehe..one thing i like about places in Bali ni, the toilets are clean. walau pun dlm ladang kopi but still they take gud care of the toiltets. best best, hehhe. lepas beli kopi sikit sebyk, we told Pak Sanura to bring us to the Spa. mcm biasa la, dah penat2 jalan, badan harus diurut. * plus pik pun dah makin gian nak berspa. we took the 2 hours Bali massage. perghhh...mmg enak dong!.
then we took our shower there. well, we preferred the Spa here coz the setup was damn cool and looked exclusive n expensive. heheh...
mcm biasa, lepas dah diurut n dah segar, perut pun mula berbunyi. so we had nasi pecel swhere near our hotel.
esoknye,,just jln2 shopping at the mall near the hotel. smptla beli lagi souvenirs n dvd Merlin. DVD price was cheap dr kat mesia ni.
around 12 noon, we checked out the hotel n trus ke airport...
and so.... that ends our memorable trip in Bali. kalau ada peluang mmg nak pegi lagi..just cant get enuf of the Spa. hhihihihi...
