North Bali
We woke up at 8 a.m., had a toast with coffee again (bad!) and at 9.00 Nyoman took us to today's first place - Ulun Danu (1 hour 30 minutes). There was a beautiful temple on the lake (Balinese believe that mountain is a father and lake is a mother). I liked this place (it was almost as good as Tanah Lot). We paid 20.000 RP for entrance. I took nice pictures too. After Ulun Dan, we traveled to see Git-Git waterfall. We seen many monkeys on the way and a big lake underneath us. The road was so narrow that I didn't think it's the way to waterfall. We paid 10.000 RP entrance fee and Nyoman told us that the way to the waterfall is quite steep. There were many shops there. I bought a notebook - the vendor wanted 50.000 RP for it, but I've bargained down to 15.000 RP. Then we walked to the waterfall. It was big. On the way back I bought a picture frame for 20.000 RP. Before we left, we stopped at local warung. It had inexpensive meals and the name was Warung Tomat. We ordered soto ayam, chicken satay, banana pancake, banana juice and small water and while we were waiting for our meal, the lady brought us krupuk (shrimp crackers) for free. Also our meal was delicious, so if you ever visit Git-Git waterfall, you shouldn't miss this warung. After we finished meal, she brought fruit platter to us (for free again). The bill was 69.000 RP (no government tax). Before we we left definitely, she gave me some fruit and spice (clove). After that, we went to Lovina Beach, it was good, except for sea, which seemed to be dirty. We bath in the sea for a while, then we traveled to Bajnar Hot Springs, which was some 20 minutes away from Lovina Beach. We paid 10.000 RP entrance fee. They offered personal locker for our personal belongings, for 3.000 RP. Inside, there were many tourists bathing in hot springs. We traveled back to our guesthouse for 2 hours. Today's trip was worth 600.000 RP. In the evening, we took a motorbike for a dinner. We ordered soto ayam in muslim warung, fish curry, orange juice and big water. We paid 29.000 RP - very cheap.
