Dear Diary,

This is the 3rd day of Bali Trip, after long activities on the 2nd day of tagging along w my bro, SIL and the photographer, we have our self pampered with 4 hours of spa and me and my SIL’s Mum have an extra hour of foot reflexology for free because it is a complimentary by Hotel Febris and Spa for staying more than 6 nights.

The Foot Reflexology’s Room

After 5 hours of spa

Cold Jacuzzi

Massager and this is where I have my hair wash haha
The special 4 hours spa compound and the room

After 5 hours of spa, we were recharged, so we decided for Water Sport Activities, hence we needed to search for a driver to bring us there. Believed it or not 5 hours of spa, we had totally forgotten about our lunch, when the driver was here, we requested him to bring us out for food. Of course, not the fancy restaurant food, so he brought us to a light lunch which is Bubur Ayam ala Bali (Chicken Porridge).

It comes with Prawn Cracker… It tastes yummy but salty… LMAO idk why Bali foods r salty… @@’’

After feeding our stomach, we headed to Nusa Dua for water sport, actually, the driver was telling us we get to see Sea Turtles too, but only to realize they charge us 35USD PER PERSON hontoni takai desu. Hence we refused to go for the Sea Turtles watch (we have to go to another island). When we were about to leave, the person try to reduced the price to 600k rupiah for 5 persons but we already had in mind that we don’t want to go anymore. The water sports, they charged in USD so we chicken out!

Nusa Dua Beach

Hence the driver drove us to Pura Luhur (Uluwatu) Temple, the scenery was fascinating, and it really makes my jaw dropped on the floor.
It is located on top of cliff at the edge of a plateau 250 feet above the waves of the Indian Oceans. It is dedicated to the spirits of the sea – Pura Luhur.
To go in there, you need to wear sarong (if u r wearing short pants) and a cloths tying around your waist and also you might need a guide to bring you along especially those that are wearing specs, because the monkeys there are very intelligent, they know a way to snatch you specs away. However, remember to bargain with the guide. Oh and if you lost your specs to the monkeys, you have to pay the guide to get it back, the guide will help you to bargain with the monkey @@’’.
Me, SIL and SIL’s friends are wearing our specs, so we have to be protected by the guide, LOL and the guide gave us a stick to self defend from the monkeys.
During our visit, there was a man spec nearly fall into the hands ‘ of monkeys, and imagine, a group of monkeys was rushing towards the drop spec… it is quite scary.
The architecture of the temple is fascinating, and I really enjoyed all the old ancient temple, imagine without the technologies now, they still can build a strong architecture, I seriously salute the past.

Look at the wave


The holy temple on top of the cliff, we are not allow to go in, only the Believers are allow.

This monkey was cheeky enough, it jump up lamp post and shake it real hard, and attract lots of tourists’ attention, and later it jump up on top of the tree and seated there.

According to the guide, this is the King of the Monkey; sorry I dare not move away from the guide because I do not wanted to risk my spec being stolen. So not much photos taken here.

This is the sarong n the cloths I mentioned.

Before we leave, the guide told me that the monkey there once pulls her earrings from her ears… I went @@’’ OMG…. That’s why she told my SIL’s mom not to wear earring inside…. Kowai desu.
After hiking up to the temple, we headed off for our early dinner, the driver suggested a place where we could watch sunset while enjoying our dinner, so off we go to another sunset beach, if not mistaken the restaurant name is White Beach Restaurant.
On our way there, the rain started heavily, but thank god the rain stop right before sunset, so we moved our seat towards the beach, and everyone was waiting and anticipating for the sunset. Seriously, the beach is clean compared to …. Haha…

The Sunset :p

These 2 pictures were taken by the waiter, however, the 1st picture taken by him … not met my expectation lol so I took an example picture of 4 others and show him, so the 2nd picture is the better shot for sunset as background :P

After the lovely sunset dinner, we headed home to sleep at 8pm because next day we were going to hike Mt Batur- the Volcano… and the driver is fetching us at 130am~ :P

wow, you're not kidding you said a lot of pics, haha. All of them really nice tho

35 american bucks was a bit steep for a price, haha

some people say that a lot of the older structures were built better than a lot of the newer ones, since with the newer ones they are worried about just building quickly rather than emphasizing structure.

Love the way you did the pictures of you and your fam with the lil mask, haha nice :P

and when you said the believers were only allowed in that one temple, believers in what?

Love the postings, I still gotta catch up with the others tho, lol

I've been doing pretty good myself, School hasn't been anywhere near this interesting, haha I could hope, right? lol If only Calculus could be as fun as that trip you had, i'd have it made, HAHA
