Dabeliu_Y at Bali 2011: 26 June

Our trip to hike Mount Batur was canceled, as in the previous tour, if we want to stay at Mount Batur there and waiting for the sunrise, we would miss Kertha Gosa.

Bungee jump was planned on the 26 June 2011, but was also canceled.

We sit on the car like this, but in white colour

Today after arrange some tour with Made Jaya on the previous night, our tour today was mostly in the Ubud area.

At first, we went for Barong and Keris Dance. Barong was a huge lion, which represent the good spirit, while another creature, called Rangda, represent the evil spirit. Keris Dance, from what I see and thought, was a dance where the people want to kill themselves with keris, but to no avail.

We went to Batu Bulan Temple. The view there was scenic and romantic. Maybe was because of the drizzle.

Next, we went to Painting Museum. We thought the picture in the Gallery could not be capture, but actually it was allowed. I like this place. Everything was nice, include there was a green paddy field beside, which allowed us to take nice pictures.

Our trip followed by going to Goa Gajah. Goa Gajah was famous with the scary elephant cave. But when we see the elephant by our own eyes, it was not so scary that we thought before this.

Later, we went for lunch at the small stall near Monkey Forest. It only cost 12,000 rupiah!! And I liked this balinese dishes, especially the chicken.

Lunch near monkey forest: Delicious, spicy, cheap

Our trip was followed by the monkey forest visit. The monkey in the forest was tame, not like what we saw the the Botanical Garden in Penang. You could even catch photo near them. And there was also a water fall in the Monkey Forest.

While we went to Puri Saren, it was raining quite heavily. Puri Saren was the place where the king stay, and the puri was under preparation for he highnest's Grandmother's funeral.

Our trip today was followed by spa at Inna Beach Resort at Sanur. Based on Made, that was the five-star hotel. The spa was awkward for Lyn and me actually, as we never did spa before and need to undress our shirt and wear only a disposable undergarments. >< When the ladies touched me, I feel "gerli". We had done Javanese Spa Treatment, plus a flower bath. After the spa, we found out a very huge diamond building in the hotel, which was a romantic wedding place. You can actually perform your wedding ceremony at there, and you will get the beach as your background!

Later, we were driven to shop at Agung Bali, and without noticing, we had over the time that had agreed with Made before that! When girls shop, the time always passed too fast.

Our night continued with delicious dinner at Pawan Pasundan, for about 57,000 rupiah per pax.
