Bali Trip 2012 - Part 3
Day 3 - Last day in Bali
At the reservation email, the hotel management instructed us that the time of check-out was exactly at 12.00 at noon, so we planned to pack every belongings and took a taxy to Legian Street and hangout around the Kuta Beach until sunset then leave to the airport to catch our flight to Jakarta which leaves at 20.30 that night. But the hotel itself had their own policy, knowing that our flight won't leave until the night, they gave us extra time to wait for the return flight and provided the car that would take us to the airport at 5 PM (17.00 o'clock) from the hotel. I'm guessing the hotel gave the kind policy since it was at low season and there wasn't any other reservation had been made for the next night.
So we rent another motorcycle (the previous one had been taken by the owner) and went straight to Sanur Beach.
The beach is way to the eastside of the island and the was a line of hotels and resorts along the beach. So we left our motorcycle at Sindhu Beach and continued the trip walking along the path along the resorts while enjoying the beautiful and calm beach. I love it in Sanur, and it was really calm. We had the long walk and hangout there for a few hours, sat by right outside of one of the resorts.

We left Sanur and went to one of the special traditional gift shop at Sunset Road, where we can find all the original/traditional snacks, food, accessories and clothing of Bali. We shopped awhile, buying local snacks for people back home and our work colleagues. Went back to the hotel, had some extra time to rest, re-pack our belongings and took a shower before the hotel car came at 5 PM and took us back to the airport.
It was hard leaving Bali, 3 days deffinitely wasn't enough, but it was enough to excite us to have another travelling trip again soon. Can't wait....

Bali Trip 2012 - Part 2
Day 2
We planned to go to Sanur beach and watch the beautiful sunrise that morning but failed miserably. We woke up late that morning hahaha. But we did expected it, knowing that the night before leaving Jakarta we had to work until late and couldn't get enough sleep before going extra early to get on the first flight of the day, then spent the whole first day in Bali on a full day trip at a hot day. So we woke up, had breakfast at the hotel, relaxed a while at the deck on our room then started on another trip.
The plan for today was to a whole day of shopping spree, so we headed to Sukawati market - about 26 km from our hotel. We kinda had a short stop at this market that we thought was the actual art market of Sukawati and had some shopping there before finding the real market that we were looking for. It was fun, and we did buy a lot of stuff for ourselves and my family back home, and also my mother in law (it has been a habit of mine in recent years to get things at every place I visit for both my mother and my mother in law, even before I got married).

I even got one original Bali top for little Terry!! :3
I forgot how many hours we spent there shopping but my husband managed to stop the both of us from spending the last of our money at the place and went to have some lunch.

We had a book with us the whole time which tells us where to go and what to look for on our trip and they gave out a name of this local cuisine that was worth to try. It was I Nyoman's Sate Tenggiri (grilled fish on skewers) that was located right accross the strees from the art market, and we did found it. The guy (I Nyoman) was selling this tasty menu of Sate Tenggiri under a small tent, really simple but extremely tasty. And cheap! We only spent Rp.12.000 (that's about less than US$2) for one full portion of rice+sate tenggiri+a very tasty which is also his secret ingredients+pepes (traditionally processed fish steamed inside banana leaves)+some spinach and two bottle of cold Teh Botol.
After the meal we off towards the westside of the island to go to Legian. We made a short stop at the museum, though.
Then we spent the rest of the day playing with the sand and waves of Legian Beach, and then relaxed while enjoying sunset and music that was playing at the nearest cafe by the beach of Seminyak.
