B.A.L.I Exploration Day 3

Let's continue with our B.A.L.I exploration Day 3!

Day 3 (25th May)

Tanjung Benoa
Our first destination for the day - Tanjung Benoa. It claimed to be a beautiful beach on the southern part of Bali where it offers all kind of adventurous water sports such as jet ski, para sailing, banana boat, glass bottom boat, fly fish and etc.

p/s: I felt it was too commercialized!

Our para sailing attempts!


Soon after, we took the glass bottom boat to another small island (was it an island? i wasn't very sure..haha) located nearby to watch the gigantic turtles.

Baby Cheng is a daring person! Don't mess with her!


Indonesia KFC lunch
Our next itinerary to Bedegul was cancelled because we spent quite a long time at Tanjung Benoa. We were supposed to proceed to Candi Kuning Market to shop for souvenirs and handicrafts and also to visit Lake Bratan where the holy, Ulundanu Temple was built on the promontory surrounded by lake's water.

It was disappointing! Our tour guide did not guide us properly in our trip!

Our lunch at Bedugul was cancelled, instead the tour guide treated us for KFC.

To Mr.Yong (our tour guide) --> your KFC bribe was not enough to cover the incompetency in you because I'm still complaining here!

Indonesia's KFC


Tanah Lot
The drive to Tanah Lot was a long one. However, we managed to be there early for the sunset. Tanah Lot is famous for it's sunset and the temple built on a small rocky islet surrounded by sea water.

The busy street along the pathway up to the temple. It was nice to shop along this street because we were able to bargain for about 50% off their offered price.
