Northwest of Bali

We woke up at 8 a.m., wondering if we get the same ugly yellow toast. We got it. At 9 a.m. Nyoman arrived and he suggested us that we'll go to see Tanah Lot in the morning because there are too many tourists there in the evening. The trip took us 20 minutes and we paid 25.000 RP for entrance fee and parking (10.000/person & 5.000 for parking). We went inside temple's area - there weren't many tourists that time, just like he said. I liked the place because it looked very nice. I tried to take photo while standing on the stone in front of the temple but I was scared of waves. There was a stage with dance show for visitor. Nyoman told us that the dance's name OLEG JAMULILIGAN. It was very different from Thai dance. When they dance, they always act out emotions with their eyes - like happiness, anger etc. Next, we traveled to Batukaru (1 hour). We seen very nice rice fields on the way there. We paid 15.000 RP for sarongs at the temple. It has beautiful roof. After seeing the temple we sat in Batukaru restaurant for lunch. There were plenty of rice fields around the restaurant. In the restaurant, they offered buffet (75.000 RP / person, tax not included) but we ordered À la carte - chicken satay, cap cay, banana pancake and banana dumpling, small water and kopi Bali. We paid 167.000 RP for the lunch. Next, we went to Jatiluwih and paid 20.000 RP for entrance. The rice terraces were very nice, but we didn't took nice pictures because the sky was dark and it was about to rain. After that, we visited Pura Taman Ayun, a nice temple which I liked, with nice roof again. It was called meru and all temples in Bali seemed to have such a roof. We paid 450.000 for today's trip and we took a motorbike to Kuta then. It was not very far from our guesthouse, but the trip there took us more than a hour 'cause we always kept getting lost. There was also bad traffic on the roads. The beach was nicer than Echo Beach and there were many people. Some were bathing in the sea, some laid on the sand, some played games... On the way back to guesthouse we found muslim warung - they had meals on display and you pointed which meal do you want. We picked fried chicken, chicken curry, beef and vegetables. We bought small water, too. We paid 42.000 RP. We also stopped in Circle K to buy some snack and discovered Island Crisps - seed crisps with Balinese sea salt. For these snacks, sirsak juice and big bottle of water we paid 38.000 RP. Back in the guesthouse, we tried the snack and discovered that it's delicious.
