Day 3: Bali

Well, there’s no public transportation in Bali so, you have to either take a taxi or hire a private charter to go round the island. They do have buses but it is not convenient. We hired a private car charter for two days in Bali. Today would be the first day. I got mine through Klook which is cheaper than getting it in Bali. The rental covers 10 hours for one day that included the driver fees, fuel and hotel pick-up & drop-off. It does not include toll fees though.

The first place we went that day was Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park. We got our tickets in Klook too.

It is considered the greatest cultural icon in Bali. You can see that huge statue of Lord Vishnu riding a great Garuda when the plane you’re taking is landing the island. My favourite spot in this cultural park is Lotus Pond though there’s no real lotus or pond. Before we left the park, we redeemed our free drinks at Jendela Bali Restaurant. It was just a simple glass of iced lemon tea.

We wanted to go to Waterblow next but the driver informed us that the place had been closed due to an incident happened not long ago. Apparently, a tourist died at the place. Therefore, we went to Pirates Bay Cafe to have our late lunch.

I read it here that it is worth to pay a visit. Well, the food is not that great but I would give points for the view.

We went to look for the Abandoned Aircraft after lunch. It was new to the driver as well so, we did not know the exact location until he went to ask the locals. Apparently the main entrance was closed so, we need to use the other way to take a look. As there was nothing much we could do, we did not stay long and took our leave to head back to Ubud.

That night, we had our dinner at Casa Luna. Another place recommended by our friend. They serve authentic Balinese food and their lime tart is famous so, make sure to order that if you are there.

Before we headed back to our villa, we went to Pandora store. The husband will always buy a charm from whichever country that we are traveling together. Hence, this time we were looking for something that will represent Bali in my collection.

A beauty, isn’t it?
