Honeymoon in Bali - Part II

continued from Part I



We continued touring on the third day. Wayan took us to Tegalalang for its famous rice terrace. As there are hilly areas in Bali, you can find many rice terraces across the island.



We were driven to Kintamani for lunch later. This restaurant has a magnificent view of the Mount Batur volcano. This volcano last erupted in the 90s.



We treated ourselves with scrumptious buffet whilst enjoying the beautiful view of the volcano. It was really a relaxing moment. A mouthful of food and a sight to look at, splendid! The buffet for 2 costs about RM50.



After lunch, we descended from Kintamani to Tirka Empul temple.



This temple is a sacred place that offers cleansing baths and rituals. Devotees come here to cleanse their sins away.



After a number of Balinese meals, my husband finally needed a break. For dinner, we headed to Kuta. It's time for western food, Hard Rock Cafe!



There were many Malaysians(I think) dining there. I don't see many caucasians. Perhaps they'll be there later at night.



I ordered the Honey Citrus Grilled Chicken Salad. I haven't eaten a light meal for days when I was there. It was time for something light, especially for dinner. In it, there's cranberries, capsicum, lettuce, nuts, cheese and other goodies.



Gan had the Pork Burger. To my surprise, he didn't even finish half of the patty. He said the pork had an acquired taste and he couldn't eat another bite. I think the way they slaughter pigs is different from ours.

The bill came upto about RM120. After dinner, we headed back to The Westin for our much needed rest. Because of the pork scare, we didn't try the Babi Guling during our stay in Bali.



The next day, we started our journey after our big buffet breakfast. Wayan drove slightly over an hour to Taman Ayun temple. Nothing much to see there, so we continued our journey again.



We stopped over in Pacung for lunch. This restaurant yet again, has a maginificent view. This time, overlooking rice terrace.



I ordered the Ayam Panggang with rice. It wasn't anything to shout about. It's basically grilled chicken with 2 satay sticks, crackers and some vegetables.



Gan had the Nasi Goreng. We paid about RM40 for the lunch.



We finally reached Bedugul about an hour later. This place housed the Lake Bratan temple. Look at the misty mountain across the lake. It is much better looking in real life! It was quiet, holy and the breeze was cooling.



This is another side of the previous photo. This temple is well maintained and clean. Totally a must-see spot for tourists.



We left for Tanah Lot after spending over an hour in Bedugul. It was really sunny when we reached Tanah Lot. We didn't stay long as it was too early for sunset. So we quickly leave for our hotel.



And we managed to catch the sunset on our last night in Bali :)
