Travel Log - Sharing 2013 Bali Trip with Love ( Day 1 )

Hi peoples, here to share my March 2013 Bali Trip with you guys, it is a memorable and wonderful trip with my love ones and friends.I always thought to have a trip to the beautiful island -Bali . After watching EAT.PRAY.LOVE and read about it's book. Here come the chance giving myself a break and trip to the beautiful island to refreshing myself  mentally and physically.

We bought the flight ticket one year advance in Air-Asia promotion and it cost us RM268 for two ways flight from KL to Bali.The usual me who is a control freak taking the responsible to plan and research every things about the Bali trip.The research cost me half year before we fly there. It really need to spend lots of time to make sure what I had plan are able to satisfy each of my friends who join in this trip. I agree that I'm bit of a perfectionist that wants everyone can enjoy the journey happily. I read blog reviews about Bali trip, books hotels, plan for itinerary, research on restaurant and finds a trusty tours guide to make sure every things about the trip can went smoothly.

My opinions for girls, there are a few things that must bring when travel to Bali and you will definitely wont regret to bring along those stuff because of the super big and hot sun in Bali.
Face Sunblock, Mosquitoes repellent, Body lotion, Body Sunblock and last Sunglasses!
Here we go, we arrived Denpasar airport at night around 9:45pm++ and our driver are waiting us outside the airport. We directly check in to Legian Tunes Hotel which just needed five minutes ride from Denpasar Airport. Legian Tunes Hotel is a simple and clean budgeted hotel which cost RM86 per night with air con to let us take a well rest and get ready to start our journey tomorrow. (Detail about hotel will be attach at the bottom of post for inquiries purpose =) )

Our First Day :
- Ubud Art Villahe Tour (Including jewellery shop /hand craft shop )
-Lunch time at Bebek Tepi Sawah Restaurant
-Putra Tirta Empul
-Kintamani for Tea time break with the panorama of Live Valcano
Our very first breakfast in Bali. The local food in bali which usually their local people have as their breakfast..
This is how the Nasi Campur look like, inside contains of egg, vegie, nuts, fried chicken slice, peppers, bean sprouts and special curry sauce to mix up. It taste really spicy for me! Keep sweating while eating this... 
Bebek Tepi Sawah, one of the signature restaurant which must visit in Bali
Beautiful Paddy View from out table.. Enjoy meal with this natural view, this is what we cant get in our city life..

Here our food food food come ~
Crispy Duck - The famous must eat food in Bali. It serve with some green beans which cooked in chilli. 
Every bid of crispy dirty duck was absolutely tasty, the duck skin was deep fried and it is crispy enough. The portion aren't big, just half of a duck and maybe because of kampung duck they use so the size is definitely smaller than what we usually had in town.  

Grilled Pork Ribs
Grilled Pork Satay
The pork rib is well marinated with sweet soy sauce and it grilled to right timing. The meats taste juicy and tender. It was just simply delicious for me! thumbs up!  Grilled pork satay, they use a special pot to keep the satay warm so as to maintain the freshness of food. 
Chit chat time & Eating time ！

Chilling in the breeze, watching the endless rice paddies view while enjoy our delicious meal. A relaxing lunch  experience we had, this is what we will never get enjoy in our city life.　Authentic Balinese feel ~　After having your meal, don't forget to walk  around the paddy field and had a photo shooting sessions with your love ones!

After lunch, we visited to next highlight in Bali which is Pura Titra Empul (Temple of Holy Water). Take a group photo before get into the temple. Oh ya! Attention to all, there are some rule from the temple. It's prohibited to enter the temple if you are wearing a short pants or without a decent dress. Especially attention to all girls, if you are during your period time also do not allow to enter the temple.

The temple is separate into 3 different courtyards. At the most front part which the first place you step into the temple will be a rectangular pool with various of fountain along the pool. I guess there will be 12 fountain if not mistaken. According to our local tour guide, he told that each fountain may have difference significance which believe will giving protection away from evil, healing from sickness and blessing for wealth and dead. The pool is open for public and even tourist also can enter the pool for bathing purpose. 


A rows of water fountain along the rectangular pools. Guess where the water come from? check below!
The second part of the temple is a pool of the sacred spring water. It is the water source of the water fountain, the spring water is bubbling up from the ground non-stop for more than thousand years ago. While, the last section of the temple is a courtyards for praying and purification ceremony that done by a holy men to all of the local Hinduism after bathing in the spring water.
