Well,I know again,the aftermath often comes up pretty late as if my life has skipped a beat and totally forgot about it,but NOPE,I'm still writing!
Here goes the whole journey of fun and fun and fun!!!
25th April!
LCCT,3 hours on plane,
a aussie kid that only speaks 'No,No,NO!!!',touching down humping ground and Denpasar!Spent 60 freaking thousands in 15 mins in taxi ride to hotel,checked in,dinner,Bir Bintang+snacks,AND sleeping on a slanted bed.
26th April!
Eyes wide open at 9am,breakie at hotel,and Southern Bali--Beaches Baby!
Lesson learned on touring-Never ever think that you could go like a gazillion places in a day,cause you'll end up stepping out and in the car in seconds,and you can't really do what you want such as swimming nakedly in the sea,watch the sunset while chilling out with a bottle of your choice of drink and yada yada yada!
Sunshine part?I watched the freaking sunset+wave riders riding waves+sipping a bottle of Coke that cost 10 freaking thousand!
The sunset.Not perfect but nonetheless it is!
Coke,The best friend when you're thristy!
Blue Point beach!
Us and new friends from Sulawesi.
Off we go,after southern,1.45hours of 50km/h fast leg(40km/h if talking to our Mr. Driver) to
Ubud,the land of Padi Fields!And got checked in a hotel that could cost a house over here at 450,000Rp!
Panorama Hotel.Nevertheless the night ended with me having one of the best pizza,watching the full moon(Goodbye Eclipse!),a sky full with shimmering stars gazing upon us,and some sesat-ed firefly(He's alone out there,no friends,just him alone,hence the fly instead the flies).And oh,talking.
Did I mentioned Bir Bintang before that?For not once but many times,My life rocks!
27th April!
Breakie,and another nice room at Ubud View Homestay,300,000,natural breeze(no freaking aircond) and a fan that speed the fastest at speed 1,instead of 5 over here.
Off we go!Tenggallang rice padi field and steps to the bottom of it,photos maniac,and got back up,
with legs blended with muds,and itchs.Priceless.
Climbed 1.3km vertically in our APV and stunning view,
a lake and a volcano!
Lunch,No-es to those that sells souvenirs at incredible price(REMEMBER,SAY NO NEXT TIME TOO,THEY'RE CON ARTIST)and off we go,a pura(hindu temple) and
rituals learned!And back we go,Ubud.Dinner at
Nuri's Warung!
90,000Rp,A freaking Spare Ribs and Bir Bintang!Back to hotel,out again on a free ride by nice Balinese(One which upset cause he fetched me,instead of 2 pretty girls)LOL!
Walk walk later,got involved in a pool action,hold 1 breath and swim to the other side(Yeah,it's small,but it's our pool!)Got drunk equally fast that night and...
Vroom vroom!!!
Here comes 28th April!
Woke up,
breakie outlooking at the uber evergreen padi fields,with duckling that bathed the whole day inside the mud pool!Hit the spa!
'bisa?bisa' 'dingin sih!' 'pak dari yakarta iya?'
Half naked,molested by male,skinny dipping in a pool that doesn't fit my freaking long body(Legs are in the air,instead of the pool) later,210,000 gone!Poof!!Lunch at Pizza's and off we go again,
Sukawati--A place where you redefine bargains.Here,you could forget the bargain at 80% of original price and learn how to bargain with the 20% new rule!Why?Cause it works!Souvenirs later(kinda regret didn't get as much as we could,It cost a BOMB at Kuta!)Shirts and whatever-you-like are the cheapest there,than everywhere else in Bali!
Rode down to Legian,got us checked in to a room and wander Kuta!Food!Questions of 'Pak mau Magic Mushroom?Ecstasy pills?', a walk at the club district at Bali,
Watching actions outside clubs and 1st Bombing site Memorial,back we go!A night with lots of sounds,but not many actions in us,we crawled in bed.
29th April!!
Fully geared-up!Sun screen and shades and beachwears!Hit Made's Warung(Recommended!)and the beach,got us a package of Surfing lesson!!!!!Rockshop@Bali and whines about the exclusivity price available and there goes,an afternoon at foot massage(Don't ever go to those small massage kiosk cause they don't even freaking know how to cut their nails before they massage or scratch you!).An evening in retails and watch the sun set by the Kuta beach and plane ferrying people in and out of this paradise.Everything felt silent,just you and the sand,and others that didn't bother to mind your business.Poof,for once I felt broke,in fact I was!!Got to the money changers,and what!!
Black magic sih!!!
Be alert when you are at places with the below descriptions.
1.The exchange rate are very high,which means they rugi,you untung!
2.They on those 'boom-your-heads-off' music.
3.The counter is at your chest level(It means you can't see what they're doing from your side,that's when they hit you!)
4.They only have 20,000 notes!!!
How it went?
They will let you count the money first. AFTER THAT,they'll take it back and count it for you for one last time(THIS IS WHEN THEY DO THE MAGIC TRIP,BY DROPPING A STACK OF MONEY BELOW THE COUNTER!)
And yeah,either you-eat-shit or they'll say'Too many zeros,confused'and refuse to deal with you upon you confronting them!
Phew,Got-Me?Nope,It almost!
Since it's the last night,2 Bintangs for each of us and we started mumbling before we doze off,to bed!
Last day,30th April!!!=(
Woke up late,hit the beach and rode the wave!!!(Tips:Eat full full lah,before you hit the beach,else you'll get tired pretty fast with those waves beating at you!)
Rode on it,me board and me!
Yeah!!!
I stood up,on my board!!!YAY-ness!!!
Battery low,Last meal at Bali and Arak Madu!(Authentic Balinese Vodka!)
'Dari Japang?' 'Tidak,Pak,Malisia' and 50,000 to the airport with a nice Bapak!
Checked in and
goodbye Bali!
It ended,at 1st May,3 of us,one helluva a trip with laughters,experiences and...!!!
Yeah!!!
Embedded!
The road!
The cute kid.Intended bokeh of this cutie seemed very unprofessional,because the kid ran away just as I press the shutter!!!
The common praying materials you can see everyday!
The Traffic Light!
The place where they make 'atap' to be exported!
More padi!!
How this picture speaks to you?
