Fantasia Bulan Madu di Bali - 2nd day (2nd day Bali tour)
|
|
2nd day tour kat Bali, kitorang start with Sukawati Art Market..tapi on the way tu, still Pak Agung singgahkan kitorang jap kat Pantai Sanur.Dulu kalau gie Bali, this beach is much more famous than Kuta Beach tu..Here...heaven la kalau nak merasa mandi laut.Hotel mcm Holiday Villa diwangkara & hotel lima bintang yang lain berderet2 kat sini..View cantek, area dia yang dikelilingi pokok2 palma sepanjang jalan nyusur ke pantai ni buatkan suasana redup je walaupun tengah panas terik..Drpd Pantai Sanur, kite leh nampak gugusan pulau Nusa Dua.We grabbed this opportunities by taken some shots.Sanur's main shopping street of Jalan Danau Tamblingan has a more relaxed atmosphere and is less crowded than Kuta. This comfortably shaded street, lined by numerous cafes make it a perfect place to shop all day!
Next along the way to Sukawati Art Market, singgah lagi di Main Kedai Batik kat area Batu Bulan, nengok2 batik making & tenunan batik.Not so interesting since kat Chendering Terengganu pun aku dh penah tengok the real batik making.so kire mcm tak berapa nak heranla sangat..sama jek...Tour diteruskan..sepanjang2 jalan (driving northeast from Denpasar) memang byk giler stone figures on the roadside menandakan the village area of Batubulan. Divinities and demons diukir dr sandstone for ornaments of houses and temples.
Then..sampailah kitorang di Sukawati Art Market - road facing market yg terletak di daerah Gianyar. Lokasi pasar seni ni melalui jln2 utk ke destinasi daerah timur Bali & dekat dengan village of Celuk(center of gold & silversmiths).Sini, memang mcm2 benda art yang dijual drpd cenderahati, patung2,wood carving,lukisan,costume..So disebabkan nature aku is art so memang aku betul2 rembat 3 lukisan abstrak yang memang mahal la kalu nk banding dgn beli kat Sentral Market,KL..pastu cenderahati utk opismate..cume tak puas hati tk dpt beli lukisan wood carving dia since benda tu too big to be hand-carry..masuk kargo kang byk plaks tax aku.Ape2 pn, kat sini memang kene pandai bargain gile2 walaupun dia dh letak 'morning price'.Lama jugak masa aku & hubby habis kat sini pada sebelah pagi tu.Memang best giler..nasib baik tak angkut satu sukawati art market tu...bee dah pening kepala dh tengok minat & kelekaan wife dia ni..hehe..
Pastu, gerak ke Ubud, where kitorang experienced to see the real Bali.Kehidupan masyarakat Bali yg sebenar2nya.. Dalam daerah ini, we can leisurely strolls through rice terraces, lush forests, breath-taking gorges and deserted swimming holes, all within walking distance from the center of Ubud.Ubud masih very much the artistic centre of Bali.Selain itu, sepjg2 jalan Tegalalang - Ubud - Kintamani kite leh tengok kedai2 lukisan, wood & stone carving, glass making yang usang & bertemakan masyarakat kampung bali.Kire mcm brg2 yang jual kat Sukawati Art Market tu 90% hand-made by this area laa...otw balik, aku mmg teringin nak beli giraffe & cats wood carving tu...tapi Bee asyik wonder je mcmana kitorang berdua nk bawak balik menatang tu.dia tau aku minat, tp dia tak mampu nk layan aku..hehe..kang nak carry bag lagi, nak carry brg lagi..aku lagi..hehehe.Finally aku dpt jgak beli sumthing from Ubud, which is rounded artistic & antique mirror...heheh.leh wat home decor nanti..yehaa..
After having enough strolls through paddy terrace kat Ubud kitorang ke kawasan tanah tinggi yang memang sejuk mcm kat Cameron Highlands, Fraser Hills - Kintamani - Mount Batur. The spectacular mountainous volcanic region around Kintamani is Mount Batur, Lake Batur. We had our buffet lunch with such a panaromic volcanic view from Mt Batur .Alhamdulillah dpt grabbed front seat masa lunch tu..Walaupun dh pukul 1:30/2:30 ptg(tak sure sngt) kat sini still sejuk, still cloudy, area yg lembap.Here you can buy fresh local oranges,passion fruit, fresh rose & other japanese flower & strawberries..tak mahal, tp Pak Agung ada belikan kitorang oren utk makan2 dlm kete...Buffet dia best, (mix of balinese & western) kuah satay,ayam sambal & spring rolls dia sedap.tapi kalau nak dibanding kepuasan...lagi best dinner kat Dapur Alam tu.Tapi kat Kintamani ni, yang menghampakan is derangnye street hawkers..keep on pushing kita utk beli brgan derang dgn harga yg agak mahal..so hati2.
Selesai je isi perut & bergambar2 membelakangkan view Kintamani, we straight away went to one more interesting place known as Tampak Siring.Kat sini ada "Pura Tirta Empul" is built around the sacred spring (air mata air) at Tampaksiring. Over 1000 years old, the temple and its two bathing places have been used by the people for good health and prosperity because of the spring water's curative powers. Regular ceremonies are held for purification.Yang uniknya tempat ni, ada 3 sumber air mata air yang semakin hari semakin meluas & from the main source tu, area tu dikepung & dialirkan ke tempat mandi yang keluar mcm air pancut..(tengok gambar me & hubby) Kat atas bukit are ni jugak letaknya Suharto's Palace which can be seen from pura ni.Rugi tak bawak baju lebih, sbb kalau tak..leh mandi2 kat sini, air dia sejuk mcm air terjun...Kat sini kami dh agak keletihan jugak, sbab dh petang..tapi misi tour belum lagi sampai ke final destination iaitu Uluwatu Cliffs.
Uluwatu ni...seperti biase ade jugakla temple since it is located at cliff top.Tapi from atas tebing laut yang tinggi ni, it has spectacular views and is popular for viewing sunsets.Cumanya..kitorang terbabas & tak sempat tengok sunset kat Uluwatu..tapi cliff dia memang tinggi, ombak dia besar.Pak Agung cakap tebing tinggi di sekitar bahagian selatan Bali ini lah yang menjaga perairan Bali & tanah Bali dr bencana Tsunami hari tu..Wallahu'a'alamm..dari segi geographic location maybela kot. Pura Luhur Uluwatu ni adalah 'architectural marvel' yang terletak di atas headland at the western tip to the plateau.
Malam - Candle light dinner at Jimbaran  - on the beach itself dengan alunan band music & the sound of the wavy jimbaran beach.Kalau di Bali, Jimbaran is the place they called - seafood heaven..memang pn.Seafood dia sumenye besar2..harga pn berpatutanla kalau nk bandingkan seafood dishes kt 5star hotel.Restoran yang kitorang makan ni, menu dia including appetizer (salad) & welcome thirsty quincher, nasi yg dihidang dlm bakul rotan. Kekenyangan kitorang menghabiskan makanan mlm tu..siap tapau lagi sbb tak habis...huhu.selamber je tapau.  . Mungkin seafood dia rasa sama je mcm kat sini, tapi the moment & value of having romantic dinner kat atas pantai dengan view tu yg make it special.so guys..u all must try.
Right after dinner, Pak Agung fetch kitorang & dia insist nak send us to 'Kudeta' again for our last nite in Bali.But then..kitorang choose to strolls along Kuta Square since me & hubby tk sempat nk singgah since the 1st day we arrived.So, jalan2 kat situ, kuar masuk mcm2 kedai kat situ smpi rambang mata.Kat area ni, ada bebrapa department stores & shopping centres with fixed prices..tapi sume pn ade sale jekk aku tengok.Last2 Bee insist nak g Hard Rock Cafe Shop to shop some T-shirt for himself..aku nak gaks 'paw' selai, tapi sume shirt lengan pendek..malas ah..dia je laa yg beli.Dah puas lepak2 kat area kuta beach, kami berdua dh keletihan...Pak Agung pn menamatkan khidmatnya & sent us back to hotel.Memang penat tapi aku & hubby puas hati laa sbb we had toured almost must-go-places in Bali in 2 days.Oklah tu..  .
