Gunung Kawi, Bali

After visited volcano, we went to Gunung Kawi; which is located at Sebatu Village, Tegallalang. We're having a bad day because it was raining heavily when we reached there. But, fatty was happy to enjoy it.

Entrance fee Rp. 6,000 per pax, sarong and sash are provided. If you wear short pants, you have to wear sarong instead of sash. The officer asked us to get 2 pieces of sash.

Short introduction about Gunung Kawi. There are 2 Gunung Kawi found in Bali. The sacred 11th Century of Bali's "valley of the kings" carved out on the brink of rock near the Pakerisan river gorge. Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple located is located northwest of Sebatu.

Gunung Kawi Sebatu is known as more peaceful water spring temple than Tirta Empul temple in Tampaksiring. Several water fountain complexes within and outside the temple make the spot popular as bathing place by the villagers.

We just stayed about 15 mins at there due to heavy raining. So, we just simply visited around the compound and took few photos. Photobucket

Lunch time......Volcano Trip, Bali

We visited volcano; which is still alive in Bali (forgot where is it located). According to our tour guide, Rocky, he said that few hundred years ago happened once time before till now (if not mistaken). We had our lunch at Grand Puncak Sari; where it served international buffet. Our tour guide reminded us that do not buy anything from those people along the street. Because you would buy fake items.

is so dangerous.....to stand beside volcano (@.@)

Before we had our lunch, we took few photos as we're so excited to see volcano. Normally, we only able to watch through movie or discovery movie. finally......(^.^)v

 

 

wow....look....volcano

special forest......outstanding

Such a nice scene at Lake Batur. Fresh air and cold. It's like standing on Cameron Highlands. According to our tour guide, those villagers will take the soil to build house or other thing as it is quite solid. erm.....no idea about what does it call....may be some one can tell me on this. As I saw their house, it's not colourful at all especially their temple. Because it is made of those soil from volcano.

look!!!....it is still alive.....wow....

It's cold when you stand at there. gosh......I think we've asked a wrong person to help us taking our photo. haha.....(:D) Anyway, we should say thank you to Uncle, who can speak Cantonese. I think he is from Hong Kong or Guang Zhou.

This is the restaurant; where we had our lunch at here. The food was nice and tasty. You can get local Balinese Malay cuisine. It's quite similar to our local Malay cuisine. Like ayam rendang, ketupat, pisang goreng and etc.  According to our tour guide, this restaurant considers as one of the famous restaurant. Because the food and rate is better than other restaurant.

 

As many tourists dropped by to take photo, our tour guide also let us to take few photo. Unfortunately, it started raining on that time so we had to be quick.  Really took few photo........(T__T)

Lunch at volcano......(^.^)v

Balinese Dance - Barong Dance

It is my 5th time travel to other South East Asia countries. It is my first time to Bali, Indonesia. It is an ideal place to have a vacation here because of the pleasant scenery. Few years ago, I eager to go this place because of the Korean drama, ‘Memories of Bali’. Finally, I make my wish come true. So do you.

We stayed in Seminyak Suites; which is located in Seminyak. We stayed 4 days 3 nights at there. Such a nice and peace environment but the transport is not convenient. Because we are not staying in town. However, the service is not up to our expectation. The food considers nice but it is not tasty as Malaysian food. As one of the waitresses from Reflections Lounge Bar & Restaurant told us, he has been working in Malaysia for few years. He agrees that Malaysian food is tasty and delicious than Bali.



We engaged with a local tour guide, Mr. Rocky Roo. He is an English speaking driver. The cost is USD110 for 3 days tours. He is such a nice guy and explains history of Bali to us. However, our Bahasa Melayu is different from them. But, we still can manage to understand and communicate with him in Bahasa Melayu. Our first visit is Balinese Dance, Barong and Kris Dance at Denpasar. It talks about history in Bali. Entrance fee is 50,000 Rupiah per person. You have to go there earlier since I've missed the beginning of story. Four your informaiton, 90% of Balinese is Hindu.
oops....what am I going to do now?

successfully.........going to pray....

such a nice costume......


handsome guy and pretty woman....



are you dared to hug lion?

nice posture....


oh my god.......lion hugs me.....so scary!!!
