On the final stretch..we checked out for the last time..went to a famous beach cafe..where all the the waitress were very friendly and knows almost all the tourist...very cozy and comfortable..
Then we went for our 2nd spa called Baliwis Spa. Not bad..I still couldn't get the idea of rejuvenating with massages..I'm still stressed out..still feeling tired..this spa thingy is so over exaggerated.
Finally, we had our drinks in Ritz Carlton..wow...US 1000 per night...
Then say bye bye..we're coming back here again..with a container...huge ones

We're suppose to go for snorkelling but after looking at the facts..I can't swim...no life jacket..i convince wifey to go for diving. This is one of those in-promptu decision we usually make..so..screw it..we're going diving..even though i have never tried it before..And..it was worth it...it was so beautiful..the tranquility...just me and the fishes..the sound of my own breathing..it is so peaceful..
The jet ski thingy was ok la...
Later we went to another temple visit...arghhh....no more..no more

This was on the 5th day...we're already checked in Nagasari...went out to visit Kintamani again..since the 1st attempt we failed..due to heavy fog in the area..what's the use of sight seeing if you can't see nuts..
Henry is a seasoned tourist guide..so he went on and on about the temples history..the legends behind each story..but i've got P8 in History..dun expect me to remember all the facts here..all temples looks the same for me.
At Kuta beach...one of the most famous beaches here..surfers wanna be and beach bum hangs around.

We checked in Lovina..the northern part of Bali to go dolphin tour...And...the conclusion was..i'd better off to watch it in National Geographic Channel...way much better..with no side effect...sea sickness!!
Then went on to Tanah Lot...more temples by the seaside...That's why Westerners call it " The Island of Thousand Temples". We bought alot of t-shirts here.

Barongan dance and temples
|
|
So after the long day of confinement and boredom...we checked out and went to watch some cultural show...the Barongan Dance. I felt a bit cultured as I myself have never been to this kind of shows...
Then we went shopping..wifey so "teruja" as she's been waiting for this event since day 1..She went crazy and bought couple of paintings as can be seen in the blog...

Later that nite...we stocked up with foods coz the next day is the highly celebrated Nyepi Day...Meaning..it's gonna peace and quiet for the whole day..Sorta a cleansing ritual for the community...after partying the whole year..this is where they burn those scary looking dolls..not your average barbie doll i might add.
The next day...was the slowest day in my life...Tourist are not allowed to have any external activites at all..The villagers are not allowed to open their windows and lights..shops closed and we have to gobble down instant noodle. for te whole day..huh..konon nak jadik traveller kan...so join the festiva la

After touchdown..we met with Pak Henry and he drove us around Kuta..just to get a glimpse of the area...we stopped by the Bali bombing memorial...the exact place where the club were bombes...its a bit eerie...that's where i remembered to buy myself a t-shirt " Fuck Terrorist"...pretty cool.
Then we went straight to our 1st hotel...Bali Gardenia...so so la..
