Bali Family Trip - Part 2

Let's reverse back to the day of departing... 

The view from the sky, feel happy and calm when seeing this view
When arrive, we are checking in to Sayang Residence II at Denpasar. Nice but have lots of mosquito, toilet is behind of the room.

It is very late when we arrive, but our van driver cum tour guide is very good, purposely bring us out to look for food. Too bad most of the shop are closed, so we just simply chose a padang food to eat. Everyone is hungry as we forget to purchase the flight meal.

Come to 2nd day, our driver fetch us at 7am sharp, we depart to Sanur beach for our breakfast. This is the rice that we are having, we seldom see tourist here as our tour guide mentioned only local people know how to come, and this rice is awesome!

Afterwards, we heading to see Barong Dance, it is quite costly, but is good for us to see their culture through the show. Some scene captured during show.


Shopping time after show! We are heading to Batu Bulan Village to have some shopping there. Due to the rapport of driver with shop owner, we are enjoying 15% discount that other group does not have, they identify with the sticker. 

On the way heading to Kintamani Volcano, we stop by to have Kopi Luwak - world most expensive coffee. What make it so special? This type of coffee bean is made of coffee berries that has been eaten by Asian Palm Civet, then pass through its digestive system then come out again. So will processed after gather. 


Soon, we reach the Volcano. Our Mr. Wayan has helped us chose a restaurant that is not so crowded of tourist and the buffet cheaper than what always recommended. Besides, thanks to him, we can get 2 free headcount for this buffet. We are enjoying our lunch this this view and also snapped a lot of photos here.


There are so many temples around Bali, according to Wayan, there are about thousands of temple. The differences is only the location and size. So he brought us to 1 that is nearby to the Volcano. He did explain to us the meaning of the building inside temple.


Soon, is time for us to travel back to Ubud. On the way back we stop by Tegalalang Rice Terrace. We are stunning to see the view. The paddy field arranged nicely.

We checked in to the Jati Homestay for our 2nd night stay. You need to walk in further from the main street.


A bit sad when checked in, as we booked 4 family rooms through Agoda, but there is other foreigner checked in 1 day before us, they just give away 1 of the family room, we are downgraded to have double room + 1 mattress. The service is not so good either.

At night, we tried to walk around to find the Bebek Bengil Dirty Duck, too bad we can't find it. At last we just simply chose a restaurant and had our dinner there. 

Then just spend our night to chit chat and having Bintang beer with family ^^
