Fun Hectic Bali Trip *2nd day*

Bismillah...

8th October 2012 was our second day in Bali. The whole day we went sightseeing.

The first location we went for sightseeing was Uluwatu Temple or Pura Luhur Uluwatu, located at Pecatu Village. It's 25km South of Kuta. This attraction open at 2 am until 6 pm. You'll be greeted by monkeys around the temple. It is advised to keep your valuables, especially your sunglasses in your bag as the monkeys tend to steal them from you. The scenery is amazing.

Then we went to watch sunset at Tanah Lot.Tanah Lot is located at Beraban Village, Kediri, Tebanan which is 20km northwest of Kuta. This attraction opens at 7 am until 7 pm. There were many people in Tanah Lot. It's best if you arrive early so that you could save a good spot to take photos. Enjoy these photos.

I'm not a fan of temples, but the scenery is breathtaking, especially Uluwatu. I love the ocean vs the cliff view. It was awesome.

Wassalam & Cheers.

Fun Hectic Bali Trip *1st Day*

Bismillah...

Where: Bali, Indonesia
When: 7th until 12th October 2012
Why: Truly Asia Travel (Let's conquer Asia)

Welcome to Bali!!

This was my first time going to Indonesia and Bali is the first place to visit.

I'm going to do a short entry for my everyday trip in Bali. It sure is a fun trip to go to if you have lots of money to spend and lots of time to waste.

Bali Island



I arrived alone in Bali as my friends and I bought separate plane tickets. I arrived early in the afternoon and  checked in the hotel around 2.30 pm. My friends arrived later that night. We went Bali in a group of 6 people.

Kuta Beach
 From Malaysia, we booked POP Hotel at Kuta Beach. The reason we booked this hotel is because the review of this hotel was good and its brand new. The room was small but comfortable. I had a good night sleep despite a havoc in the middle of the night (that's what the receptionist said early the next morning).

3 rooms *WIFI is available in the hotel and there's also 4 computers with internet access in the lobby


Comfortable big bed

A small cute bathroom

The small area in between the bed and front door (4 steps away)

The room is small yet comfortable for its price. There are only a bed, a sitting area, a toilet and a washbasin. There are no kettle, iron nor cupboard in the room. It's a good room for a short stay trip.

Foods I brought from home

The unique hotel's hallway

I was bored waiting for my friends as their flight were delayed, I went out food hunting alone. It was fun.

It's not as creepy as it seems

The street

I went for halal food hunting but failed. So I went back to the hotel and bought a cup of instant noodle.

Finally, my friends arrived when the sky is already dark.

Friend arrived when the neon lights are bright

After taking their bags into the hotel room, we went food hunting. We walked quite far (the wrong direction from halal restaurants) failing to find any good food. So we went back to the hotel and stop by a stall along the way to eat something.

The food tasted different but bearable as I was famished. I ate plain rice with Gule Kambing.

My other two friends arrived later that night.

That's my first day trip in Bali. I'll write my other trip to Bali later.
