Bali Trip - Day 2

There is reason why Bali also known as Island of the Gods. According to Wikipedia, there are around 20,000 Temples / Puras in Bali. No kidding, when we go around Bali, we can always see temples everywhere.

So on the second day morning, after we had breakfast in our hotel, we went to this Goa Gajah (or Elephant cave in English) near Ubud. This is not a temple but a Sanctuary.

Goa Gajah; We went into the cave from the "mouth". It was quite small inside and there are some local praying stuff and some idols of the Balinese Gods.

Pura Tirta Empul means Temple of Holy Spring. The local believes that bathing there can clean themselves spiritually. Well, as you can see, tourists also believe in that.

After that, we went to this Kopi Luwak Farm to try this coffee made of Luwak's poop. LOL?
Yes, they will feed this Luwak with coffee beans and next thing you know we are drinking coffee made of their poops!

Frankly, some of these coffee are quite nice. We tried all of it but didn't buy any at the end as surprisingly these coffee (which made of poops) is not cheap LOL :(

Bali - Island of the Gods (Day 1)

First thing we arrived at Kuta - Bali, our driver - Mr. Tatto brought us to eat this Ayam tulang lunak (or soft bone chicken in English). The taste was ok, but the soft bone really kinda surprised us. We were wondering what they did to the bones to make it crispy & eatable. You may also called it "化骨棉鸡".

Tatto then brought us to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary @ Ubud. Before we entered the forest, he warned us to take care of our personal stuff like sunglasses / camera / earrings as these wild monkeys may steal them and ask for food in return. 

After that, we went to eat the famous Dirty Duck (Bebek Bengil) at Ubud as dinner. Personally, I think the Bebek is overated. Smells good, taste exactly like what you can imagine as fried duck. It's just crispy.   

Pantai Kemasik - Terengganu

This place was so peaceful & comfortable. After a day long of tiring works, you can just stop by this place for some relaxing time with the ocean wind and waves. At the same time, you can also feel the simpleness of the locals around here. This place is called Pantai Kemasik.

Krabi -Thailand (Next!)

Other than soaking in the crystal clear sea water all day long, it is nice to visit Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua) when you travel to Krabi especially the hiking lovers. You will need to climb 1,256 step stairways to reach to the top of mountain temple to see a big Buddha. If you plan to climb the stairs, my advice for you is to go early. It will be too damn hot if you start late.
