Bali Vacational Rehab Escapades Part 2

Day 2... Sleepy day... Super good wifi makes a good chatting night yesterday.

My babes were not into the Barong & Kecak dances... Since it wasn't unanimous, I gotta let it be my Regret No. 2 -things not done in Bali.
Another journey to the North of Bali - slightly to the west. This time we went to Bedugul to see Lake Beratan. There are 3 lakes within some distances but it seems Lake Beratan is the most recommended one.

Then, tasik Beratan. It feels like heaven when you step in. The chilling wind & the beauty of the surrounding could easily make one feel at ease or rather peace. We got ourselves a speed boat ride around the lake. Pretty cool :P

Choco wanted badly to see Gitgit waterfall & we did since we had enough time to catch the sunset @ Tanah Lot later.
Gitgit waterfal is the highest waterfall in Bali. Some walking distances before reaching it. I was spell bounded by the view, of its existence.  My heart was racing as fast & as hard as the water from the hill. We were roughly 5-8 meters away from it but we were wet from head to toe.

The road up the hill was very dangerous. Make sure your driver prioritize safety. Narrow roads up & down the hill with hardly any barriers to protect each hill's banks. 

Tanah Lot. One of the best Sunset view in Bali. Amazing views separated in 3 locations. You could find yourself a comfortable seat on a mountain/rock cliff or at the beach site or at some boulders on the sea to watch the perfect sunset view. Mesmerizing location. I was in awe with the whole god-sent beautiful scenery & I wanted to get married right away. The sun set completely @ 6.30pm.



That very night I faced with some misfortunes. We booked this best western Kuta hotel; booked & paid to be precise. We were told that some internal communication went wrong & that they are currently fully booked. The fuck. They placed us to this Winna hotel & said that it was much nearer to the beach. Right!
Winna is not recommended as well. Lousy wife @ room. Worn out furnishing & the toilet was unacceptable for me.

Since the night was young, we decided to go around Kuta & search for some food. We bumped into a very loud cafe/pub where a live band was singing. Attracted to the band, I urged my gals to come along.
I was always told that Indonesian bands are good. Indeed they were very skillful.

We quickly walked back to the hotel since it was getting late. But please, take my advise, be extremely cautious. Something not so nice happened to us. It makes me realized as sweet as a place could be, evil lurks in all possible way.

KUTA BEACH FULL DAY TRIP on the next day.

***

In Bali, you will see a lot of young kids riding motorbike, as young as primary school student. Gosh. With no helmet lagi. It seems that motorbike is their only choice for them to reach schools & whereabouts. Public transportation is rare.

Balinese are very ritual & they have a lot of believes too. 3 times prayers a day. Bamboo stick is a sign of good luck in each house whole.
Prayer statue will have its waist wrapped with black & white checkered cloth. I was told that it's a sign of good & evil, governed by god.
