Bali

Was in Bali between 5 August and 8 August.

Bali was fantastic! Went to lots of places for sight-seeing, and of course lots of shopping too! HeE~! The things there were quite cheap and it was fun trying to bargain with the vendors with the tiny bit of Malay I know.

The monkey family at the Monkey Forest was kind enough to pose for a picture. Look! Mommy Monkey is smiling at the camera!


This was taken at the second largest Balinese temple. The temple used to belong to a royal family.


Brrr! Located at 1200M above sea level, it sure was cold at the second largest lake in Bali.


Sunset at Tanah Lot. Beautiful, isn't it?


Hard Rock Cafe in Bali.

The tour guide who showed us around was a humourous and nice guy. He speaks good English too. During long rides, he would tell us lots of facts about Bali. Learnt quite a bit from him.

We stayed at The Patra Bali, a 5-star resort-hotel near the Denpasar airport during the trip. It is quite a big place so we had to walk quite a distance from the lobby before we reach our rooms. The resort-hotel is near the sea. Nice view.

Bali is certainly a place worth visiting. The rich culture of the Balinese is already good reason to revisit the island province of Indonesia. Hope to travel there again soon. =)
