Bali Day 5 : Singaraja - Lovina Tour

I brought along my laptop just in case my digital camera ran out of space again, and at least we could transfter photo to laptop!? ...because on our Day 3 : Tintamani - Besakih Tour, we took too many photos until we had to delete a lot (becos no more space for my 512MB flash)!? ...Anyway, could you believe it? ...Gerald didn't bring his digital camera as he left it at his friend's place... He brought the batteries and batteries charger, but he forgot to bring the most important digital camera... Tsk tsk tsk... So the whole Bali trip, we had to share using the digital camera...

Anyway, I think it was probably 1/3 of the trip that I realised I made the same mistake as he did... I brought along my laptop, but I forgot to bring the USB plug that allows me to transfer photo from my digital camera to the laptop!??!?! ...Without USB, how to transfer files?!!?! ....(Lesson One: Never laugh at other, cos it may happen to you one day!)... hehe

Our 1st stop was Mengwi's Pura "Taman Ayun" (The Royal Family Temple)... Anyway, I think we have seen too many temples these few days (as they claimed that there's more temples than houses in Bali), that we didn't feel that excited seeing Mengwi's temples anymore...

Our 2nd stop was Bedugul Temple (Ulun Danu Temple & Lake Beratan). The temperature there was quite cool, as it was located around the mountainous area at the altitude of 1400m above sea level!? Anyway, the Bedugul Temple is beautifully sitting on serene lake of Beratan. This would be my 2nd favourite place as it is really really beautiful (eventhough we were overdosed with Temples, but we still get this "wow" feeling seeing this Bedugul Temple).

Our 3rd stop was Gitgit Waterfall... The waterfall is sixty metres high. To get there, we had to walk about 10mins of stepped concrete path downhill...Along the path, there's many stalls that sell sarong, paintings and souvenirs... The waterfall is beautiful... If only we have brought along swimwear!!! ...Well, we would have brought extra changing clothes if we knew more about this trip...*hmmmph*... (I told you Gerald chose this trip because of Megume, you don't believe huh!! ...HAHAHAHA!!! ...Kidding!)

Our 4th stop was Lovina Beach... An overrated famous black sand beach... Nothing that special... The beach is quite dirty and empty... I'm not sure why this beach is so famous?!?? ...(Oh yeah, I purposely walked away from Gerald and Megumi... Let them have a some short moments together... *muahahaha*... Gerald took some photos of Megumi nehh!! ... kekekekeke... *wink*)

Our 5th stop was visiting the natural hot spring which is located at Banjar Village. Megumi stripped down to her bikinis and jumped into the hot springs... Obviously she has done her homework well regarding this trip... not like us!! ... Anyway, I disappeared into other places to explore and left the two there... *muahahahahah*... Actually there's nothing much to see at all. I actually sat in the garden feeding bloody mosquitoes... (Garald, now you know why I got so many mossy bites yeah?! ...It's all becos of youuuu!!! .... =( ...heheheh!)

Our 6th stop was stopped over to see the two lakes (Buyan Lake & Tamblin Lake)... The road to the outlook was very hilly and very bumpy and its a one way road too... Quite interesting and thrilling cos Agung drove quite fast... Luckily the big car powerful enough for the steep and winding road... Anyway, I only remember it's very cold up there...

Tiring trip... Overall, it wasn't too bad but it wasn't the best trip neither... Came back to our Homestay, and went out to search for a place to dine... Went back to the cheap restaurant to try out their Nasi Goreng... Quite nice!! ...We then bought two "Bali-Hai" beers and some more peanuts for supper...

Came back to your Homestay, and noticed that there's a ciggy in the ashtray (our balcany has a coffee table and chairs)... We don't smoke, so who did? ...And then we noticed a note too... Aiks?! ...From Ma-De again and this time only his email and his contact number... =?

(Actually, was it today that we had the stupid kentut topic that we laughed so loud until Nyoman had to come and asked us to keep our noise down? ...I cannot remember which day was it now... *confused*... Actually, I also confused with which day we bought the Paintings from the artists... =/
