We decided to start a bit late that day, 11am. Our first destination’s Tanah Lot,a Buddhist temple by the sea. Waves were amazing. Local and foreign tourists were once again crowding the area which made the entire place look unsacred. Yani was brave enough to touch the holy snake, one of the attractions there.

Holy Snake

We spent 1.5hrs there because we also had to do our shopping there. I am normally a smart costumer, I KNOW how to make use of my charms to bargain, but there, I felt guilty bargaining although I already know the fact that they jack up their prices to foreigners, at the back of my mind, I know that if I convert the price to SGD, its still very cheap and that it’s their only source of income, therefore, I bargained minimally.

For lunch, I had Gurami fish.

We then headed to Dreamland beach. Waves here were huge and it looked like people who surf would really enjoy there. I somehow wished to stay longer but we were only given 30mins to explore and walk around this beautiful beach.

Then we went to Uluwatu,ahhh..just right, sunset! View of the temple was amazing. We haven’t even started taking pictures, it already started to rain. Arghhhh…I still managed to take some shots but was very limited.

At Uluwatu we decided to watch kecak dance and one word to describe it, WOW! The show was fun and really entertaining. I loved it. It would be included as #5 in my wow favorite list this trip! (1. bromo view, 2.Ijen 3. Borobudur 4. Prambanan 5. Kecak dance)

It was still raining when we reached Jimbaran Bay. We had our dinner there and the price was of course, reasonable for a sumptuous final meal in Bali.
