Vacation in Bali Season 2

Hello friends! I'd like to share my travel experiences during vacation in Bali. This is my second time visited Bali. I did a new things and I visited a new places of course :) At this time I traveled with my new friends, they are Desy and Imhwa Eonni. Desy is my college friend, and Imhwa eonni is my new friend from South Korea (Eonni means elder sister in Korean). We did traveled together for the first time. That was a real adventure! We had so much fun there!! Yeap! I guess this is enough for introduction ^o^
Okay let me tell you our travel story. It was on March 6th, 2013, that we start exploring Bali. First day (03/06) we went to Nusa Dua Beach, Turtle Island and Jimbaran. We did water sport such as Banana boat, Fly Fish, and Scuba Diving in Nusa Dua Beach. 

Fly Fish Riding

I really excited while riding banana boat and fly fish. I extremely enjoyed this water sport !! I wanna ride it again :) 
We took a boat tour to Turtle Island. It was so close within 15 minutes away from Nusa Dua Beach. We saw many kind of animals and especially turtle. There was a huge turtles which very big and heavy! we took a picture with them and touched them ^o^

This time for scuba diving!! Desy and Imhwa eonni did it and I just waited on the boat. I was still fear to try it because I have never try before. Maybe I will try later haha :D

Ready to Diving

There were many people snorkeling near by my boat while I was waiting >o< All of them are foreigner.

We finished water sport and got back to hotel in the afternoon. Then we had dinner at Jimbaran in the evening. This place was quite crowded and the food really expensive, because the restaurant not only offered delicious seafood but also beautiful view of the beach right in front of you!!

Second day (03/07) we went to Monkey Forest,Tirta Empul Temple, Kintamani and Tanah Lot. This was my first time visited Monkey Forest but I had visited another forest which also similar with this place, the name of place is Sangeh. So I just waited outside while my friends got in, yeah again and again waiting (-_-")

Next destination is Tirta Empul temple, this is my first time so I would like to get inside haha :D. If you don't wear a long skirt or jeans, you have to wear this skirt like me :) looks cool right?!. Because the guardian told us that this place is holy place for praying, so you have to wear the polite clothes.

Inside of temple we can see the wide pools. People believe this is the holy water because it come from holy springs. There were many kind of that springs which has meaning. I'm not sure about each name and meaning, but I only tried one of those springs. They said if you have a shower there, all your wish will come true ^o^. I didn't take a shower there, just washed my hand and mentioned my wish :) just try!

After finished explore those places, then time for lunch guys !! *excited. This was my dream to have a lunch in front of beautiful mountain. That really perfect view of Kintamani! Feel free and blessed~o~We did lunch here and my favorite menu is Sate Tuna..so yummy! This restaurant provide "all you can eat" buffet!! We can eat as much as we want with reasonable price. All the menu is Balinese traditional food. I would like to come here again :)

Now it's time for relaxing, yeah we wanna see sunset! We heading to Tanah Lot. This is my second time to visit there but I never get bored with this! We walked along at the beach side while enjoyed sunset there. What a wonderful world~~ Tanah Lot is one of the famous tourist attraction. So you never go to Bali if you have not visit this place :D

The last day in Bali (03/08) we went to Sanur Beach, Kuta Beach, and Pita's family house. In the morning we went to Sanur and Kuta by motorbike. That time was so hot and not so crowded as usual. Maybe because we go there in the morning haha :D feels like private beach! 

Beautiful Kuta Beach

In the afternoon we and Pita's family went to one of Balinese village. It is Pita's family house. There was a traditional ceremony, the villager came to Temple near by. We saw many people dressed up with traditional clothes. That time all the roads were closed and people just walked to that temple. This was my first time to see traditional ceremony. This ceremony usually held before Nyepi (Balinese "Day of Silence").
