Stay at Contiki Resort located at Legian area. The resort is gd with nice pools, amenities and gd service upon when we check in till out. Food wise so-so only.

Went to Kuta Sq where all the boutiques or shopping are and shop around. Then proceed to Kuta beach which was amazing with the waves and activities going on there. However I hate the fact of you being ambush by the local peddling their gd & svcs. Hv a gd stroll along the beach before returning to Hard Rock Cafe where beside there is a Starbuck cafe to chill out and rest.

Took a cab from there back to resort at only $22,000 rupiah (abt S$4). They are fair where they stick to the meter and not bargain with you unlike in Bangkok. The pple there are friendly too. Although you are not obliged to tip them but with their service I did.

Went for water-rafting and was fun the guide was gd in ensuring with hv lots of fun down the river and assisted us in taking pict during a pit stop break. Later we proceed to the Bali Coffee and spice garden where we were shown the coffee plant and other fruits and spices and I even got to try to fried the coffee bean and taken pix. We proceed to their so-called cafe overlooking the mountain where we had free sampling of their variety of coffee beverages e.g. coffee black, coffee with sugar/milk, ginseng coffee, ginger tea, hot cocoa. They even offer from cigarettes which you hv to DIY type and without any filters.

Lastly we wanted to watch their cultural show called KecaK Fire Dance but time is too late so we went to Jimbaren for dinner the place is gorgeous when sundown watch the sunset and that place actually like our east coast seafood centre but theirs is much much much better than ours per se. We chose the table on the beach and order grilled sotong, sweet & sour crab & grilled white snapper. Overall the food wise is so-so and not that cheap though but more for the ambience which makes up for its short-coming.

Will definitely return again to explore other areas.

Oops almost forgot we went to a high point near the Kintamani area to view the volcano. As the driver drove us to this restaurant where their outdoor seating area is perching over the edge of the high point and it was cool we took quite a lot of pix from there while enjoying our beverages.

in Kintamani, did you see manage to see the small island in the middle of the lake?

I went there 2X unfortunately raining weather, foggy, can't see the lake at all.

That island is where they leave the dead bodies there. Leave it not bury. Very scary.....can see all the skeleton. Heard only lah from the villagers.
