I went to North Bali on Day04, spent most of the time in car as the journey from one place to another was quite far. Made and I didn't really talk much in the car, so it was a little too quiet and I dozed off few times.

1. Gigit Twin Waterfall
Errh ......What so special about this waterfall? Well, it took me around 2 hours drive from Kuta to here loh and that's it! Veli de se-pa-ser nya....

2. Pura Ulu Danu Bratan
Okay this place cheered me up a lot after the se-pa-ser waterfall. This temple located by the western banks of Lake Bratan in Bedugul Highland at a level of 1239m, and the weather was very cooling around 23 ~ 24 Degree Celcius. This temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of the waters, and it was actually built on small islands, which means it's completely surrounded by the lake. Both pilgrimages and ceremonies are held here to ensure bountiful harvests.






3. Hot Spring
If you've lot of times and dunno where to go, please go ahead and pay a visit. Or else please go somewhere else. Basically nothing much about this Hot Spring, as it made me darn HOT whenever I think of it. It was very far and deep into a forest in the middle of nowhere. Most importantly the hot spring water was in GREEN color, exactly like water longkang. Okay partly due to my bad also, because I assumed that it'd be something like Aso Mountain Hot Spring. Bugger!


4. Mengwi's Pura Taman Ayun
Garden Temple in the Water, one of the six royal temples in Bali built in 1637. Yeah, temple AGAIN! This temple stands on an island in a river, and the inner temple is in addition surrounded by a moat.

5. Tanah Lot
This was the main highlight for Day04. I reached at Tanah Lot 4.45pm to avoid crowd, kiasu bah! I got lucky as it was cun cun about hide tide, so I was able to have a quick walked around the temple. There were many caves under the temple lived by "peaceful" sea snakes. Remember ya, please turn to your right at the main entrance, walk up to the staircase you will see row of hilltop cafes, choose the one at the far end! Order some beers or crackers, and enjoy the magnificent Tanah Lot Sunset! Simply Marvelous & Splendor







It's was a shopping day for Day05. Walked around Seminyak, Legian & Kuta to get some shirts, sandals & souvenirs for family & friends. Took some photos on the way back my hotel.


Home Sweet Home on Day06!
