BALI TRIP

Hello!

I’m back for another post here. This time it’s the triple dimples 4D3N trip to Bali. Hoorayy!

The total return flight for each person is RM379 flying from Kota Kinabalu. Cheap or not?

DAY 1

11.35AM

Depart to Kuala Lumpur by Malindo Air.

2PM

Arrive at KLIA1. We bought the train ticket to KLIA2 for RM2 each for our flight to Bali by AirAsia.

Did not check in to any lounge or hotel and just wait at a random coffee shop for our next flight.

7.35PM

Depart to Bali by AirAsia. Another 3 hours to go until we reach our destination. I thought we will be super tired and fall asleep inside the plane but we end chit-chatting throughout the whole flight until we arrive. Amazing huh…

22.35PM

Arrive at Bali Airport. Ordered a grab car to our hotel.

(Did not buy any local sim card because it cost around RM45, so I just use Digi roaming for 3 days inclusive of 2gb data – RM25)

11.15PM

Check in at our hotel – Casa Kayu Aya

(Driver did not stop us at our hotel but instead we walked to our hotel because of the traffic. Was told it was only 300m away but we end up walking for 1km or more)

After checking in, we walked out again planning to go “Ku De Ta” but google map brought us to somewhere else so we end up getting lost and walked back to hotel. Oh well.

DAY 2

8AM

Breakfast at Sisterfields

Food was super good here but of course the price won't be cheap if it was only for breakfast. 

9.30AM

Driver came on time to pick us up at our hotel.

Our driver was recommended by another driver because his schedule is full and the reviews in Facebook is good too. His name is Ketut Gelung but too bad he sent another person to be our driver and I can say the service is so-so only.  

12.00PM

Arrive at Pura Lempuyang Luhur. A 2.5 hours journey and we even queue for another 2 hours just for the photo below. Why not right…

P/S : Sarong is compulsory to wear in order to enter the temple. Therefore bring your own sarong or else you need to rent them for IDR 10,000 each. No entrance fee but there is this donation thingy where you can donate any amount you want.

2.30PM

Initially our plan was to go Taman Soekasada Ujung but our driver recommended us to go Tirta Gangga. So after googling both place, we decided to go Tirta Gangga then. Had lunch at Agung Trisna Warung (driver brought us there when we requested restaurant for lunch).

Entrance fee is IDR 10,000 each and there are plenty of stalls selling 3 packets of fish foods for IDR 5,000.  

We spent our time quite well here for photo-taking even though it is only a small place.

7PM
Check in another accommodation today at Narada House Ubud.

And then we went out for dinner at a Warung which is kinda hidden and walk around the street before we head back to rest.

There goes the 2nd day in Bali.

DAY 3 

8.30AM
Had our breakfast at the hotel because it is FREE.
We kinda like change our whole plan today because we wanted to check out the Ubud Market nearby. 

So whoever who wanted to bring souvenirs back home, I find Ubud is the best place with cheaper price and nice stuff. I regretted that I did not get anything here because I thought there will be better options but I was wrong.  

While waiting the driver to arrive, we stop by at a random cafe for coffee.

11AM
Campuhan Bridge Walk

The walk will be around 2km. But we just walked half way for photo-taking and return. 

Not in the mood for hiking under the scorching sun. 

12PM

Our plan was to go Tegallalang Rice Terrace but our driver keep recommend us to go this place where we can have free coffee tasting, better view, bali swing, etc. So we end up listening to him and visited the place. But I don't know what's the name of the place because we were not kind enough to pay for the entrance fee. Ooops!

Entrance fee will be IDR 50,000 and you will have to pay separately for each activities

Free coffee & tea tasting

The view from on top

2PM

Bebek Joni

We wanted to try Bebek Tepi Sawah, but before that we asked which is the best in Bali and there he goes "Ohhhh... Bebek Joni is the best, you have very nice view for photo", he keep on recommend and so we listen to him again. He said till like so nice then why not right... Ended up food so-so only and of course kinda pricey but the view actually quite nice also.

I can say you pay to eat the view but not the food. 

4.30PM

Tanah Lot Temple

We spent 2 hours here because we wanted to watch the sunset and doing all the photo taking.

7.30PM
Checked in our villa on the last night at Villa Tukad Alit

The end of our driver service here. The total cost was IDR 1,050,000 and we add another IDR 50,000 for the driver tips. 
Our initial plan was to include Pura Tirta Empul & Tukad Cepung Waterfall but we have to cancel due to time constraint. Driver charges will be IDR 1,100,000 (excluding tips) for this. 


8.00PM
We ordered grab car for the remaining trips.

Visited ECOEGO store at Seminyak because my friend wanted to buy some bags for her mother.

Then we proceed to Krisna Oleh-Oleh Bali Sunset Road as I wanted to buy some souvenirs for my family.
(On the way, the grab driver recommend us to another store which he said they have more varieties there, we believe him in the first place but then we realize "ehhh, wanted to gain commission again..", so we stick back to our own plan)

After that, we head to Made's Warung (recommended by the local) for dinner as they are famous with their "babi guling". Although the babi guling was so-so only but we get to enjoy their salsa dance night. Should we say we were lucky?
11.30PMWent back to our villa to put the things we bought and then head out again to La Favela to experience the night life in Bali until 2AM. 
DAY 4
9.30AM
Woke up and enjoy the pool at our villa. (The villa even provided us a float)

12.30PMChecked out from villa and left our luggage there.

We then head to Naughty Nuri's Canggu for lunch and proceed to Love Anchor Canggu Market for a walk. But the things there are kinda pricey especially when they found out that we are tourist, they will mark up their price as high as possible. Hmm.

Another good meal we had besides Sisterfields.

Stop by at another random cafe for coffee before going to the airport.

4.30PM

Went back to the villa to get our luggage and head to the airport for our flight back. 

Bye bye Bali!

Flight at 9.20PM bound to Kuala Lumpur. Arriving at 12.20AM then we slept on those random chairs in KLIA1 until our next home-bound flight at 8.05AM.

The whole trip cost me more or less around RM1,500 as we are on budget trip.
