But now with only a few days left before I start working, I just gotta finish up all these unfinish business fast...
Day 1
7am - 9 of us (7 coursemates plus Bao and her bf) gathered at KL Sentral. We then took a bus to LCCT, paid RM 8 for that. Plenty of buses there, apart of the services provided by Airasia, also got other operators such as Aeroline. So no worries if you plan to travel to LCCT by bus.
Almost 8.30am - 5 mins away from LCCT, we suddenly get a call from AZL. "Take ur time, no hurry to come to LCCT, cause.... flight delayed by 2 hrs."
Sienz... 11am delay to 1.10pm.... There goes my well-planned lunch at Bamboo Corner (we still managed to dine there, check out Day 2 dinner)
Spent whole morning berborak-borak and loitering around LCCT. Then when we checked in at the counter, a bigger shock came - one of my tour mate's passport's validity is less than 6 months and he's not allowed to board the plane!!!!
o.O"
I got pretty down at that time, felt really bad about this "good" start of our tour...
And so our dear KF quickly changed his air ticket to the next day's flight, and he rushed right away to the Immigration Dept in Damansara to renew his passport...
(thank God he managed to renew within 2 hrs, mind you the time he left LCCT is almost 12pm ady... that's quite miraculous and he joined us on Day 2)
And finally.... finally... we boarded the plane and took off for paradise...
Postcard that I got from Airasia =P
The flight took approximately 3 hrs. At 4pm, we landed at Denpasar' Ngurah Rai Airport. Then 11 of us picked up our luggages and rushed to the "karma kecil" (toilet)... imagine a bunch of sua ku looking youngsters gathered outside of toilet with tons of luggages... haha..
Then we quickly rushed out (rushed again) to find our tour guide Beni as we have the "sun" to catch. We're supposed to reach Uluwatu before 6pm in order to catch the sunset and have enough time to loiter around the temple. and indeed as Beni has promised us, his blue van is really comfy...
Our nice blue van (with Bao and HY posing in front of it)
1 day rental - IDR 500k
half day rental - IDR 300 k
On our way to Uluwatu, Beni keep reminded and warned us that the monkeys at Uluwatu are no friendly creatures that love to steal things from the visitors, and they really fancy about glasses... And so....
Our macho men have all got themselves a stick to hit monkeys...haha... (scare them actually). and thanks to them, we had a safe journey around Uluwatu...
But of course with plenty of shouting... wei wei monkey behind you... on the tree on the tree...
By the way, the entrance fee to Uluwatu is IDR 3000 per pax...
But the scenary there is really captivating...
We left Uluwatu at about 6.30pm, and we headed to Jimbaran for the famous beach front seafood dinner. Some of my tourmates had complaint that the dinner is too expensive compared to the quality of the meal, well, me and Bao ady knew about that, but we thought that dining on the beach is some experience worth trying and we were prepared to spend that sum... So to me, its pretty cool to eat while watching the waves splashed several meters away from me... And the live band is so cool....
Err... i know its blur... forgive me for not being familiar with the camera and hence produced such lousy photos =P but at least you get an idea of how we were seated... long table and everybody was facing the sea...
Err... i know its blur again =P that's the live band performing...
Beautiful crab... but shared by 5 person due to its high price tag =P
We ordered a total of 1.3 kg of squid... shared among 10 person...
Ikan Bakar...
We spent a grand total of IDR 577，610 for this meal... shared among 10 pax...
kinda expensive ler, somemore the seafood is not really that special... But i still enjoyed the ambience... superb for couple/newly-weds =)
And so after the dinner, Beni sent us back to our hotel and we checked in at about 9pm. Since there's still an hour before the shop closes, we went out to walk around Tuban area right after we dropped our luggage into our rooms...
There are a lot of small shops along the main street, and after walking for about 5 mins, we arrived at the famous Discovery Mall...
Nothing really that special about this mall, except that we found Rotiboy here... what a surprise... Shops inside are very much alike as those shopping malls in Malaysia... and things are of course much more expensive compared to those street-side shops...
.....end of day 1....
