Bali 2019 - Day 4


Overview of Day 4. Destinations are far apart and travelling time was the longest compared to 2 previous days. Sigh...



To add on to the woes, JAMMMM !! It's a Sunday so I can see why it turned out this way. The 2 hour journey took us 2 hours and 45 minutes.



    Stop no 1 : Tasik Bratan - Pura Ulun Danu. The temple on the shores of the lake
    Entrance: 50k per person


Tasik Bratan is unique with regards to its high altitude. Bedegul hills in the background. Weather was great and the 2 hour plus long journey is defnitely worth it !


Another view of the temple


Water sports available for a certain price


Canoes and boats for rent


Mr Crab waving us goodbye at the exit



Stop no. 2 : Wanagiri hidden hillls
Entrance: 100k per person. Yes, 100k !


The most instagrammable spot in Bali ! Entrance fees is 100k per person though. 


Overseeing the twin lakes - tasik buyan and tamblingan 




Non functional swing for photo taking only


We tried to stop by the Handara gates but Alas ! one whole bus of tourists. It would be a nice substitute for the lempuyang gates which is far east and takes a whopping 3 hours to get there. Handara gate is the entrance to the golf club and resort. It rose to fame a few years back and now they charge fees just to take photo with the gates only.



Traffic traffic all the way down!


    Stop no. 3 : Tanah Lot temple
    Entrance: 60k per person

    No one comes to Bali without visiting this place! The best place to view the sunset in Bali. However the sky was cloudy and we were only able to view traces of the sunset. Sad =( 


    Stop no. 4 : Dinner
    Fees: 85k for 2 meals + 1 rice

The best Babi Guling in Bali, or that's what they said. I give it a 8/10 la. 东坡肉 or 叉烧 would win hands down though haha....Along Jalan Raya Kuta, 5-10 minutes walk from my hotel


It's actually called nasi campur. But you can order it as an ala carte too


How the shop looks like from the outside


It's directly opposite this BCA - bank central asia, Jalan Raya Kuta. Google Warung Babi Guling Bu Dayu Kencani and there you have it




    Stop no. 5 : Roti Bakar Jalan Raya Kuta
    Fees: 37k
Slightly further up the street was this roti bakar stall which caught my attention. Wondering how roti bakar will taste compared to that back in Malaysia


We got a kalap + kalem, and roti bakar gurih for 37k IDR
  

Kalap + kalem (peanut + kaya)


Roti bakar gurih. Cheese is cheap in Indonesia i guess

          With that ended my 3 days trip with Fatah. We head to Ubud for the coming 2 more days, with Nusa Penida one of the attractions coming up ! It was a tiring 3 days, but Fatah was very helpful and drove the long distances while we perpetually dozed off at the back seat. There are no highways in Bali so we had to travel through the trunk roads.
