Bali Trip: Day 5 – GWK / Dreamland / Uluwatu / Babi Guling / Jimbaran

Hello Saturday! Let’s continue my Bali Honeymoon Trip post before my memory fails me big time and I lost the interest to write.

Sunday, May 9 We explore Southern part of Bali for the day. After half day of touring, we basically run out of place to visit already. Hehe. We opted out Tanjung Benoa watersport cause we don’t want to get wet; so NO jetski, parasailing, banana boat, flying fish, water ski, etc. Not interested with turtle island. Had enough of snorkeling during Perhentian trip last year – water isn’t our best friend especially me.

This also the day when my sore-throat starts to get serious and my voice becomes very sexy. But don’t care, culinary hunting must go on. :P I just continue to feed my throat with Ricola. Cause Guardian sells sore throat medicine at ridiculous price (read: super duper expensive like RM60), even one a day prenatal vitamins is cheaper than sore throat one.

GWK Cultural Park (NOT GOOD) // Dreamland beach // Pura Uluwatu // Babi Guling for lunch // Discovery Mall // Kuta Beach // Dinner at Jimbaran Bay

#1 GWK Cultural Park – IDR50,000 for foreigner // IDR25,000 for domestic // IDR5,000 for car parking

Bali Trip: Day 4 – Bedugul and Tanah Lot

Today marks one month since our honeymoon trip to Bali (time flies!) and I haven’t finish the series yet. Been procrastinated and chose to read about Lipovox story like I want to be a science-researcher. Ugh. Let’s resume back.

Saturday, May 8 Visiting Balinese temples is our main agenda and today is the day to fulfill those. Not many but we get to visit the famous and must-visit one; floating temple at Bedugul and Tanah Lot.

Leave Ubud // Pura Taman Ayun, Mengwi // Pura Ulun Danu Bratan a.k.a floating temple, Bedugul // Alas Kedaton // Tanah Lot // Back to Kuta

Short Visit to the Largest Temple in Sibu

Not just the largest in Sibu but also claimed to be the largest in South East Asia! We’ve been so curious with the “largest” statement and decided to go there after sending my in-laws to airport this morning.

Before this, we have attempted to visit the place earlier this month but fail big time, cause not sure of the location and no road sign leading to the temple. Like looking for diet pills that work without any direction. Good thing this time we found it. Woohoo!

So far this is the largest temple that I’ve been too. Aside from worship and tourism purpose, I think this temple also suitable for pre-wedding photoshoot. Wear cheongsam or casual attire will do. :P

Info: Yu Lung San Tien En Si Temple is located at Km26 Sibu-Bintulu Road.

Bali Trip: Day 3 – Ubud and Kintamani Tour

Friday, May 7 After cross checking between the tour brochures that we grabbed from the airport and my must-visit list on a night before & discussing with our driver, we finally come out with the following itinerary for our day 3 in Bali. It turns up to be the most hectic day during our 6D5N trip. Need womens vitamins to recharge back.

Leave Kuta // gold & silver, Celuk village // wood carving, Mas village (NOT GOOD) // Bali Zoo (NOT GOOD) // Monkey Forest, Ubud // rice terrace, Tegalalang (pass by only) // Batur volcano and lake, Kintamani // Kopi Luwak plantation // Pura Tirta Empul, Tampaksiring // Goa Gajah (NOT GOOD) // Kecak dance // back to hotel in Ubud

Bali Trip: Day 2 – Free and Easy at Kuta

Thursday May 6, We choose to take it easy and explore Kuta area ourselves on the 2nd day. After breakfast at the hotel, we go for a stroll at Legian street. During the walk, we buy hats at one of the local souvenir shop. Can’t stand to walk under the hot sun without any protection; be it umbrella, sunglass, or hat. Thanks to this, acne starts growing on my face the next day, forget to bring pronexin the acne treatment. Ugh.

Right: A small alley where Blue Bird taxis keeps passing by non stop.
