&
Beautiful padi field's.......
My eye's open and look at my watch...oh my god...we overslept! It's almost 8.00am already and Wayan will be reaching in 30 minute's time! I quickly call Kelvin and wake them up, seems like they also over slept. Kelvin pick up the call...i told him it's already 8.00, we are late and need to rush. Then he keep quite for awhile(looking at his watch i think), then he say "Bro, it's still 7am only in Bali...zzz". Oh...i forget the time difference by 1 hour. Haha...so blur case! Must be the Vodka last night...
(It's 7.20 in the morning, imagine how cold is the pool's water!)Well, since we already wake up. We get our self ready and go for breakfast. As we going in we saw a guy displaying some handicraft on the floor at the side of the restaurant entrance. We saw some nice stuff over there, but he is just starting to display so will come back to check it out later. We had our breakfast and i took some photo of the swimming pool again and now i understand why this hotel swimming pool is so clean(look at the photo above). They really clean every inch of the swimming pool like that! I ask Kelvin to have a look & when we turn back to our table. This 2 girl that are having breakfast with us is not in their place already. They went out to the stall already...zzz....girl's.

Well, i got say...this stall really have some nice collection of handicraft item's.We saw some outside the market but those selling in here is better in quality,maybe it's selected item with 5 star quality to be selling in a 5 star hotel...haha.We order some of those beautiful handmade guitar, and we request the stall owner to write in some word's on the guitar for us.We wanted to write down our name's on it.We will be picking it up on the day we are leaving.He is nice enough and the are no extra charge's to add those word's.
(The stage in the hotel pub-seems like many people are asking for information during the morning time.)

Soon Wayan reach and we get in to the car, today first destination is Sukhavati, a market where u can shop for cheap stuff including shirts, handbags, handicraft & etc.Wayan said it will be around 30 minute drive. On the way we saw some very interesting statue(newly make from paper & wood i think) along the road so we ask Wayan what are these, he explain to us that a big Ceromony will be coming soon.
It's something like their New year Ceremony. Many statue(call Barong-Demon like statue to scare off evil/bad spirit) will be make and on the ceremony day it will be moving on the street in whole Bali! Almost everyone must stay in the house during that day!
About 10 minute's later, we also saw a very big statue at a road junction, Wayan told us that is the statue of the Ocean God(look at the photo i attach)!


(The temple entrance!)Second famous thing about this temple is it have a place for people to bath, an open area where they say the holy water is actually from the mountain behind this temple.They say many local will bath here to hope for blessing & some will come to wash away their sin's.i think i need to take a bath here also!.Wayan say no photo in the bathing area, we pretend don't know anything and faster take some photo....hahaha.But the bathing area is actually quite a beautiful view & i really wonder how they can nicely build it with the mountain water connect to it, please remember it's build at least 100 year's ago and it's all handmade!
We walk around and we saw this tree with many big fruit's.I touch it and it's kinda hard.Many tourist stop by and have a look also.Even Wayan also don't know what fruit it is & he say he don't think it can be eat...hahaha!
(The tree at the back is the holy tree-it's only 1/4 of the tree in this photo)
(A better look at the temple entrance)The stuff here are selling in a very cheap price ! It's like just 50-60% of the price in Kuta town & we still can negotiate for another 50% off their price !! That mean's actually we are buying those thing at around 70-80% of the price in Kuta area !!!
We spend about 30 minute's here shopping for handicraft item's for souvenir's.Those people(our friend's) back in our country will be very noisy if we went back empty handed without their sourvenir's...zzz.

So the next stop is a coffee farm before we go for lunch. Wayan say the coffee there is very nice & very popular! Just about 15 minute's drive and we are there, Wayan bring us in and this farm is not just a coffee farm but they also grow many type's of fruit here. We saw some cute fruit tree(see the photo i attach).And there are a lot Coco tree, Wayan say's the demand on coco are increasing & many farm are starting to grow Coco tree.

We reach a place where we saw some loca
l ladies roasting the coffee bean's.Freshly roast!Oh...the coffee smell is so nice and tempting.Wayan guide us to a sitting area, here we can order some coffee and try it out---> and it's all free! The coffee serve here come's in 4 flavor Original coffee, Chocolate coffee, Ginseng coffee & i forgot the last 1...hehe. We 4 order 1 flavour each...we all 4 agree that the Chocolate coffee is nice but the Ginseng flavor is the best! U can also order some fruit's from a stall beside, this is not free. So i walk to the stall but i went back without ordering anything. They ask me why back so fast?i answer them"the fruit look's very fresh,but i didn't order anything...it's VERY EXPENSIVE!!!" It's about USD 8 for just a Mango at the size of my palm(u can get 20 of these with the same price in Malaysia!). So we agree just trying out the coffee is fine...hahaha.
Batu Sari - Lunch buffet with Volcano view!
This is a live volcano.So we left the coffee farm, and we are heading to a very important place with a very important mission(for me...hahaha)! We will be heading to top of the mountain, to have our lunch! And it's a buffet lunch with a volcano view! Time to get some real stuff into my screaming stomach! If not mistaken it's about 70,000rp for 1 person for this buffet lunch. The price is quite reasonable as they serve quite a lot of variety of food!We wanted to get the seat's with the best view but it's all taken.Never mind, we will take our lunch 1st then only change our seat's.
(I'm hungry!!!)
(The table in this photo is actually on the mountain cliff, u can have a look at the front of the table & found yourself actually at a very high mountain!)
After the beautiful lunch, we say goodbye to those friendly staff & we will be going to another famous tourist spot. We will visit and have a look of one of the Bali famous view-The Padi field's. Just a short drive and before Wayan inform we reach, we already saw those beautiful Padi field's along the side of road. Then Wayan stop the car by the roadside and we get out. I took a deep breath & the air here is just so fresh(really can forget about pollution).
place to go for today's trip.So we just say sorry and continue our trip.
We still got 2 destination for today.Visiting those handicraft maker's shop along Tegallang & Ubud's town.As we coming down from the hill, we start seeing a lot of small shop's along both side of the road's.All of the shop's are displaying many wooden handicraft outside their shop's.Wayan told us the road is at least 5km long and the shop's is all along the road until the end!That's a lot of shop's!!!
We are looking for some handicraft for our self, we wanted to get a pair of handcraft Giraffe as the are one of the famous item from Bali. So we make quite a few stop along the road, went down in to those shop. Ask for price and hope to get a real nice piece's.

After about 30 minute's searching Kelvin found 1 piece he like's and after bargaining.He bought it.But i still haven't found the one i'm looking for.
(This is a small information for people searching for handicraft-Tegallang is the maker area,they normally display those sample in their shops & for people that are ordering in big quantity.Those sample are rather old or look's old after too long under the sun.So for personal collection, this is not a very suitable place for u)
After 1 hour...we begin to feel tired & i give up.Wayan ask me to look for it when we reach Ubud. He say the Ubud market got sell these but the price will be higher.So we get into the car and head to Ubud.
(No entrance from that door onward)Wayan brought us to the Ubud Palace.This is where the King of Ubud living.And he is still living in there now.The front part of the palace is open for visiting but the behind part of the Palace is not allowed to go in, that the place the king is staying i think.Same like other historical building in Bali, the Ubud Palace is full of those beautiful stone craving.
(And an extra information for those that are looking for nice stone craving collection's.U can go to Batu Bulan.That's where the stone maker are.)
(I think they call this Barong-the demon like god)After 30 minute's later, we go to Ubud Market.Just few minute's walk from the palace.I want to search for my Giraffe here.We went in, this is a very busy market with a lot of tourist and local's.This market sell everything from food,cloth's,handicraft and etc.
It's kinda bad luck for me, in this whole market i only found 1 piece that i like.But there is a problem, the seller is offering me a price that is too high.It's triple of what Kelvin is paying.Even Wayan also say the price is too high.What to do...i'm going back empty handed again.Arrrgggg!

(Kelvin and Jenny exhausted & waiting for the spa)So that's the last place we are going today...but that is not the last thing we are going to do today!hahaha...since we are in Bali there is 1 thing that we must try at least once. Balinese spa! After a long tiring but fun journey today, what is better than a relaxing spa!
Wayan already arrange for us as we requested, he drive us to the spa center.When reach we are told to wait for awhile, then we are brought to our own room's(couple's room).It's a 2 hour spa, the massage is so comfortable...i fall asleep after being massage for just about 20 minute's.
After the spa session we are inform that they provide a free dinner for us also, this is quite good!
(A live band performing in the hotel bar)The Night is Still Young!
After the spa, Wayan send us back to hotel.We are totally recharge after the spa, and tonight will be the last night in Bali.So we wont just go back sleep and waste it.We went back to our own room & get ready for the next entertainment.We will hang out at the hotel bar tonight because we notice there is a live band performing when we are on the way back to our room's.
We went into the bar, the environment is ok...the music is quite good.We get our seat's and hang out over there for about 1 hour.Well, the beer in Bali is really much cheaper than back in our country, just like whole day happy hour!

After we had enough of beer & music. Suddenly we thought of collecting more memories(photo's) before we go back tomorrow.So ended up doing something funny, we will take photo in this hotel area and we wanted to get some funny one!
So ok, we will start from the pool's area.On the way in we saw a big wooden carve surf board & on the same time a hotel staff pass by.We ask him to help us take a photo...haha.Then after he goes away, we look's around to make sure there is no one because we will sneak into the pool's area again.
(Me & Kelvin sneak into the pool shack)
So we really need to go back already and get some rest...
tomorrow will have a flight to catch.
Good Night Bali....
