Sweet Bali Trip 巴厘甜蜜双人行2010 - Day 3

We'd dated the driver at 8:30am. So, we woke up about 1 hour earlier to take breakfast and pack our luggage. And then, left Kuta.... :~~~ Bye bye, Kuta.
昨晚约了司机今早8:30出发。我们早一个小时起身梳洗吃早餐和收拾行李。
司机大伯很准时到。我们依行程出发啦!库塔,拜拜啦~~~
Leaving Kuta 离开库塔

Along the way... 途中。。。


Now, we were heading north. The 1st stop, Tanah Lot. This is a good place for photographing. It would be better if u come in the evening cos the sunset view here is very nice...but morning time also not bad, just the weather is HOT~~!!! We spent more than 1 hour here, till the driver rush us by sms... (but u dun really had to bother him. he would always say times not enough, blah blah blah... just do it at your own pace! ;p)
现在,我们往北部,一路玩着上。 首先是达纳乐海神庙。友人告诉我,早上早早去还没涨潮,风景很美的。。。可是我们到达时已经叉红旗了。。。 :~~~ 不过,这里是个摄影的好地方。虽然天气很热,可是却阻止不了我们在这里杀掉记忆卡里的空间。嘿嘿。。。我们在这里耗了一个小时多。。。司机大伯等到忍不住发了短讯,可是我们没发觉到。 ;p (他一定会说还有很多地方要去,等下你们不够时间。。。我睬他都傻,我又没有跟团,干嘛要赶鸭子似的。。。)
Ticket checking counter at Tanah Lot. International is more expensive. 达纳乐的检票台。有分本地和国际的。国际的当然比较贵!

one more photo before we leaving 临走前再来一张!

Then, we went to Pura Taman Ayun. This place ah?! Nothing very interesting besides the green grass...(you can skip this part unless you have plenty of times in Bali.)
然后,我们继续往北,到阿韵皇家祭坛,拥有巴厘岛“最美丽的国家寺庙”,祭祀山神及海神。附近有池塘,草地,湖水,景色是挺怡人的。。。不过,景点面积有限。如你的行程是很紧凑的,建议你可以删除这一站。

Before the ticket counter 购票处之前。

The main entrance 那里才是入口处。

The entrance door is locked. 大门是锁着的,进不去的。。。

there is a viewing stage besides 旁边有一个观景台,挺高的。。。看下去,有一大片草地咯。。。

Viewing inside from this circle... 酱紫围在外面看,一圈罢了!

Next, the driver brought us to the coffee plantation...it was raining while we arrived. Felt so good for free coffee tasting in the rainy day...
司机大伯说,沿途我们会进过一个咖啡园。我们顺道进去看看。。。一到达就下起雨来了。我们在亭子里品尝免费的咖啡,等雨停,感觉还不错。这里的咖啡园都一定会养Luwak,出产“猫屎咖啡”。说真的,听到这个名字就不开胃了。喝一小杯还要几十块钱,我甘愿回去喝星巴克好了。。。然后,我照了Luwak的猫样就匆匆走了,免的他们一直在那里推销产品!
Free coffee tasting 免费试喝咖啡。


The Luwak 猫样!

Then, we went Pacung to see terrace paddy field... It was wide, yet far away... so the view is so so only...After taking a few photos, then we moved on to Bedugul. There is only less than half hour drive from Pacung. This place have a markets selling fresh fruits. But our aim is to visit Pura Ulun Danu. This is a place must-go, the view here is very nice. The weather also very nice...Another hour spent here...
然后,我们到Pacung去看梯田。这里的景很广,但是我们站在山腰看,隔很远,所以看起来不怎么样。。。我们照了几张相就撇去贝杜谷了。从Pacung到贝杜谷很靠近,不超过半个小时的车程便可到达了。。。这里的地势比较高,是3座火山湖形成自然的水库。气候凉爽,适合种植各种水果。因此在这里的市场可以买到便宜又新鲜的水果。不过,我们到此的主要目的是去参观乌伦达努庙。大家去巴厘一定到这里!!!它坐落在贝杜谷,高出海平面1240公尺,是巴厘岛最具有特色的寺庙(这点我认同。),位于Bratan湖畔,是一座半印度教,半佛教风格的寺庙。乌伦达努庙建于湖上,四周环水,是一座水神庙,供奉湖泊女神Dewi Danau。我们在这里又花了一个小时啦~~~
Pacung Terrace Rice Field. Pacung梯田。

Very expensive accommodation. 很贵的住宿。


Pura Ulun Danu乌伦达努庙

Going out...要走咯。。。

Then, we went for lunch. According my itinerary, we planned to take buffet lunch in Pacung for not more than Rp70k/RM26 per pax. But the driver bought us to a place where is more expensive... The view is very nice, but foods not worth the price. So, our driver suggest us to take lunch in Bedugul. It will be cheaper there. We agreed and move on to the next destination, Pura Ulun Danu Temple + Lake Bratan. It was still drizzling when we reached. So we stopped for another hour here before we took our lunch.
午饭时间,原本我们打算在Pacung吃自助餐的。。。可是,司机大伯带我们去的那间餐厅的收费要Rp85k/RM31.50一位,超过了我们的预算。。。司机大伯知道我很会算,于是提议到贝杜谷去吃。那里的风景没酱美,会便宜点。。。谁知,那里的自助餐也没有便宜到哪里去。。。结果,我们到一家餐馆去单点。。。因为不好意思搞到司机大伯跟我们一起酱迟才吃饭,所以想帮他买单,可是他拒绝了。。。
After the lunch, I insisted going to the Strawberry Shop to have a glass of strawberry milk shake and a pancake. Why I'm using the word "insist" here is bcuz my driver keep telling me that I could buy the strawberry in the market in Bedugul and bring it to the hotel in Lovina for making us a milk shake. But I refused, I wanna try out in the Strawberry Shop. I guess this shop didn't give commission to the driver, and so he don't wanna bring customers to them. Anyway, it's none of my business.
吃完午餐后,我坚持要去草莓店。。。为什么要用“坚持”这两个字呢?因为我们的司机大伯一直告诉我们说不用去那个地方,哪里消费很高。。。要吃草莓的话,他带我们去市场买;要喝草莓冰的话,可以叫酒店的人弄给我们。。。叭叭吧。。。我才不要呢!我就是要到草莓店去啊!!!这家草莓店一定是没给他好处,所以他嫑带我们去。不过,我才不管!;p
Strawberry Pancake with Honey 蜜糖草莓松糕 Rp10k/RM3.70

Strawberry Milk Shake 草莓奶昔 Rp10k/RM3.70

Next, we went to Gitgit Waterfall. There are many 'tour guide' here... They job is jz to bring u to the waterfall and charge u RP40k/RM15.90. @@ so i tell the driver that we don't need the guide... he said, "it's ok... but if u lost the way, then that's ur own matter." Come on, that is a tourist's spot, sure there is a signboard. Somemore they'd made a pathway directed to the waterfall. Just there are really some distance... anyway, we were safely reached to the waterfall... so, besides the waterfall, nothing else.... =;= thru we just spent a few minutes here, but the walk way did made us felt relax~~~ ^^
接下来,我们要到去基吉瀑布。在这里要注意,你一下车就会有人走过来向你收带路费。之前看到luvfeelin也有碰到这些‘带路童’,所以我事先问了同事,知道是不用他们带路的。想诈我Rp30k/RM11.20,门都没!!!虽然,到瀑布里去有一段距离,不就是像去大马的瀑布酱咯。。。而且一路上有蓝色的栏杆,顺着走就对了!这个瀑布很高,是巴厘岛最大的瀑布。ok,亲眼见识过啦。。。循例照里几张相就走人了。

Gitgit waterfall 基吉瀑布

The terrace rice field's view here is also very nice. 这里也有梯田,风景很美的。。。

After the Gitgit, we went straight to Lovina. According to Pak Nyoman, the driver, the distance is not long, but need to cross mountain road and thus it take time and cost the transport fee higher... Lovina mean 'love'. But there is no activity here besides the dolphin tour in the early morning. So, my advice to everybody is, unless u really really wanna see dolphin, else u can skip this place...
然后,我们直接去罗威娜。这里是一个纯朴的小村落。最热闹的节目就只有观赏海豚。所以,如果你没有很想看海豚,你可以把这一站也删除掉。。。
We went to the hotel recommended by Pak Nyoman, which is owned by his friend, to check in first. I, finally, got my first welcome drink from the hotel in Bali. Hehehe... While checking-in, we booked our dolphin trip from the hotel as well... There were a few option: rent the motor boat for Rp200++ per pax (sorry, had forgotten the exact amount); took the sampan for 2 at Rp250k/RM92.60; share the sampan with others for Rp75k/RM27.80 per pax. At first, they gave us only 2 option. But when we wanna share boat, then they gave us the suggestion to rent the whole boat so don't have to share. Of course we rejected the suggestion. Anyway, it's too earlier to book here... why? Let's me tell u later.
司机大伯带我们去他朋友开的旅馆。在这里,我尝到了在巴厘岛的第一杯迎宾饮料。哈哈。。。登记的时候,我们顺便预订明早的海豚团。有两个选择:一个是租游船,价钱贵点;一个是租木船,便宜很多。我们当然是要便宜的啦。。。结果,他们又不死心地游说我们包船,说不用跟别人挤,又没有贵很多。反正就是贵点嘛,我嫑!跟别人一起挤没什么问题啊!船不会沉就可以了啦!最后,我们付了Rp150k/RM55.60,明早去看海豚啦。。。不过,好像决定得太快了。。。
The first welcome drink in Bali. 在巴厘岛的第一杯迎宾饮料

After check-in, I immediately changed my swimming suit and went to the beach... But, it was so disappointing that i couldn't play in the beach here. The sand is black and the beach is very dirty and smelly... :( sigh~~~
放下行李后,我兴致勃勃地换上泳装准备去海边玩水。(难得住靠近海呀!!!)谁知道,这里的海滩肮脏得要命,海水还发出一阵阵的臭味!失望极了!!!:(
Lovina Beach.罗威娜海滩。

So we took a walk along the beach... We pass by a 3 star hotel listed in my tour guide book, Sunari Villas & Spa Resort. So we walked in and found out that the environment here is quite nice. We went to the lobby to get the room rate list. OMG! The cheaper room is USD$85. We were glad to get a cheap room in Lovina.
没得下海玩水,我们只好沿着海边走。。。走着走着,我们一间叫Sunari Villas & Spa Resort的三星旅店。看到她们的泳池和环境,挺不错的。于是,我们走进进看看,顺便去打探这里的行情。哇,我的妈呀!三星旅店最便宜都要USD$85一晚。我很庆幸能在这里住到便宜有不错的房。
Sunari's swimming pool. Sunari的泳池。

While we were walking, got a guy came to ask whether we wanna go for the dolphin tour in the next morning, and he offer for Rp60k/RM22.30 per pax. But we'd already booked. Not long later, another guy came to offer us Rp40k/RM14.80 per pax for the dolphin tour. sigh... Anyway, I don't think that they will give us a better offer if we haven't booked... And it's ok, caused if there is any problem, I can easily refer back to the hotel...
这一路上,有人问我们明早要嫑看海豚,可是我们已经订了。他知道我们给的价钱后就告诉我们他只收Rp60/RM22.30一个人。但是,我们已经付了钱啊! >< 没多久,又有人过来问我们。这个更够力,他说他只收Rp40k/RM14.80一个人。也许因为他们知道我们已经付了多少钱,然后才酱讲的。。。
Then, we went to out hotel's swimming pool just to get my swimming suit wet... sigh....
然后,我特地去旅馆的泳池,弄湿我的泳衣。。。囧。

Dinner in hotel's restaurant tonight because there is no other place nearby to visit... Another early sweet dream tonight! Zzz...
这里离市区很远,附近也没有什么好去处。。。今晚的晚餐就在旅馆里的餐厅解决。。。然后回房,准备睡觉。
The first Bintang Beer in Bali,large. 第一支Bintang啤酒,大的。 Rp25k/RM9.30

Spaghetti Rp25k/RM9.30

Fried rice Rp15k/RM5.60

Sweet Bali Trip 巴厘甜蜜双人行2010 - Day 2

We slept early last night, so woke up early today. :)
昨晚睡得早,今天也起得早。
Our plan today is go window shopping, so we had a big breakfast in the hotel(nothing great, is the usual things like fried mee, fried rice, veggie and eggs).
今天将走一整天的路,所以我们准备在旅店里的餐厅吃饱饱。
Breakfast in hotel's restaurant 在酒店的餐厅边吃早餐,边看新闻
The 1st stop is Jalan Legian. But most of the shop are not opened yet, so I only visited 2 boutiques. The dresses are nice and the T-shirts are funny... but i think it will be cheaper to shop in ubud, so i didn't buy anything here.
我们从Jalan Legian开始逛。可是太早了,很多店都还没开门。。。我进了两间时装店。裙子和T-shirt都很不错,不过我准备到乌布去购物,所以没在这里买。(到了乌布才知道,有些裙子在别的地方买不到的。。。 :~~ )
Along Jalan Legian... 一路上。。。

Poppies Lane 1

Then, we turned into Jalan Kartika Plaza... There a few "Uluwatu" in this area. I visited the one in Kuta Square. These Balinese Lace is very nice, but the prize is much much more nicer.... After that, we walked to Matahari. It was a local store with reasonable price, so you can shop here.
然后,我们走向库打广场。。。这一区有几间“Uluwatu”。我参观了库打广场的那一间。他们的蕾丝衣裳真的做得很美,不过价钱更美。。。看了两眼就离开了,继续走到“Matahari”去。这是一间当地的超级市场,里面什么都有,价钱也很合理。。。可以在这里购物。
Kuta Square 库打广场。虽说这里是个广场,可是这里的店铺就在马路旁,一点都不觉得身在广场。。。

A nice decoration... 在巴厘很多地方都可以看到的布置。。。把花瓣叠成图案放在水上。刚到商场时才看到他们开始布置,逛完后就看到布置完毕了。

我们在这里的food court解决我们的午餐。Food court的后面是库打海滩的另一端。很美的。。。食物还没到,我们马上决定吃饱后去海边走走。。。不过呢,出去走没很久,又钻回进Mall了。因为实在是太热了。。。 避了一会儿暑,我们又走,走去Jalan Kuta Raya的Joger。这是一间标志巴厘岛本土品牌的店。名产是搞笑的T-shirt。不过,这里太多人了。进去前要排对,进去后要挤人。。。我只买了两个肩袋和一条项链就离开了。然后我们继续走,要去一间美食店。可惜找不到。。。随便去一间店,喝了个冷饮后就搭德士回旅店了。真累! 休息了一下,我们又走到库打海边去。。。(对!又要走。还好海边离旅店不远。)看日落。可惜,这里的天空太多云了,遮着太阳下到海平线。。。:( 晚餐,我们在海滩附近的McDonald解决。然后,在海边再逗留一下,才穿Poppies Lane 1走Jalan Legian回旅店。途中,我们顺便找租车。在其中一个摊位,讨价还价了好一阵子,终于定了。。。吔!明天要到郊外去了。。。 ;)
