Yo Bali. After Tanah Lot, our next temple visit is Ulun Danu Beratan Temple! You might feel familiar with outlook of this temple since this is one of the icon of Bali. Many might choose not to visit to this temple due to its distance from Bali city centre.  Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a water temple located on the shore of Lake Bratan. The temple is surrounded by mountains near Bedugul. Due to its location, weather is so cold that made people confused they are actually in Bali!  Entrance fee: Rp. 50,000 for adult. Visit tips: Bring along your jacket or scarf, weather is quite unpredictable. It was raining suddenly during our visit, for a short while and temperature dropped in sudden.  The temple was built for offerings ceremony to Balinese water, lake and river gods. Information from Wikipedia: The 11-storey pelinggih meru is dedicated to Shiva and his consort Parvathi. There is boat-riding service here, for you to have a tour on the lake. It ...

Tanah Lot, one of the must-go place at Bali.  Tanah Lot means Land in the Sea in Balinese language. There is a temple on the land of rock formation, on the sea. Being surrounded by temples, for us, this is a sacred place.  On the way to Tanah Lot, we passed by locals' houses and border-less paddy field. Then, we arrived at the temple by the sea. Quite amazing, surrounded by paddy field and the next moment we are facing the sea!  Welcome to Tanah Lot! Entrance fee of Tanah Lot: Adult : Rp. 60,000. Child: Rp. 30,000. Parking fee: Motorcycle : Rp. 3,000. Car : Rp.: 5,000. Bus : Rp. 10,000. Being greeted by great weather :) There are few surfer spotted in the middle of the sea! You are allowed to walk down to the other side which is much closer to the sea. There are a big crowd of people queuing outside a shrine, praying. The weather is quite good during our visit, we were there around 10am. This is an open area so do remember...

Hello Bali. Today we are going to do an activity that it is so hot at Instagram recently LOL! Bali Swing!!! It is basically a giant swing that being tied on a tall tree so that when you swing, you get to fly very high and overlooking some breathtaking view like rice terrace, jungle and even sea view, depends on location of your swing :P There are quite a number of Bali Swing at Bali, we ended up went to Uma Pakel Bali Swing recommended by our driver. You can choose to experience the Bali Swing by paying around Rm60 for 8 swings in 2 different direction (looking forward and looking backward). So basically you will get to have photos of “swinging in the air” in 2 directions LOL. For those that don’t feel like trying on Bali Swing, you can choose to have the free coffee & tea tasting session. Luwak coffee is not in the list of coffee tasting, thus we paid to try on it. Coffee & tea tasting. One row of coffee and one row of tea for tasting. Of cour...
