Gawd! I had my period. I wouldn’t be able to swim anymore and enter the temples. call time was 830am. We rented our own vehicle to explore Bali (http://www.bali-day-trip.com/). Our driver’s name was Wayang, which according to him, means, eldest in the family.

After almost two hrs of drive, our first destination was the temple by the lake. The one in their 5000bill. It was pretty but because it was a cloudy day, it affected the aura of the place. There’s too many tourists and everyone’s awaiting for their turn to take photo of the temple. Some couldn’t even wait.

Next was the two lakes.so relaxing to look at them. Buyan and Tamblingan lake. Sun started to show and Bali began to look better in my eyes. We then headed to Mundok village and Mundok Waterfalls. Where in the ang-mohs enjoyed the place wearing red undies. Later on, going back, one of them had to strip back because apparently, a leech got so attracted to his red briefs.

Had Lunch at Lovina Beach but we didn’t have enough time to play at the beach.

We then had to go to a Buddhist monastery,

then hotspring where vendor once again tried to hard sell us.imagine coke for 15k?!?

This is the disadvantage of not having a guide in trips, we had to rely on own researches, no hidden stories and information about the places we’re going to. Anyway, I didn’t have much time searching and reading about Bali, so, I just planned to enjoy the view, embrace the unexpected and just BE THERE!
