Bali (Day 4 + Day 5)

It's Day 4 in Bali, we been served breakfast with nasi goreng in the balcony of the hotel , and waiting Sea Shore fetch us to the next destination, 

The  Turtle Conservation & Education Centre (TCEC) was set up to function both as a hatchery and protection centre fir injured turtle that fishermen bring in.

Of the section has dozen or so open air tanks containing hundreds of turtle, some brand new, others up to about 50cm in shell diameter.The tanks are low enough for kid to look into and we were lucky enough to arrive when the staff were feeding them.

That's was a albino turtle we're rarely see in Malaysia too.

It's very fun to feeding the tortoise, see how they walking truly 'FAST'　when they saw their food.

We stop at a warung for our lunch, and the opposite of the warung is a mosque.

See how big group of use, fully utilize the big table.

The rojak with sambal taste so nice and a little spicy that sell in front of the warung.

After that we arrive the Pandawa beach , the sea was so blue without editing.

The entrance way to this beach is beautiful, it is carved between cliff, and alongside the wall there were craved by the locals.The beach is black sand, and popular among the locals, it is packed with people. 

The next destination - Uluwatu Temple, we purposely been go for the Kecek performance.

Pura Uluwatu looks like any other temple in Bali. However, it is perched right on top of a cliff overlooking a gorgeous sea view. That makes it more special than any other temples in there. I would recommend you going between 4-6pm so that you have enough time to explore the beautiful scenery during the day light without waiting too long for sunset.The traditional kecak dance starts at 6pm daily if you are interested.

You need to be very be careful when enter this place, because there are lot of monkey will grab whatever is shiny things. One of my friend Eng Ru's spec been grab by monkey, luckily she got it back.

We waiting they performance at the arena.

Kecak (Monkey) Dance, performed by a group of at least 50 men who dance in a circle around blazing bamboo torches.Possibly the most dramatic dances, it has been take from the Hindu epic Ramayana, the dance tells the story of Prince Rama and his rescue if Princess Sita, who has been kidnapped by the evil King of Lanka.

The chorus if men, who provide the orchestral accompaniment with complex and varied chants that company their swaying movement. The only music to accompany them are the beats of their palms hitting their chests, their thighs, or other parts of their bodies and their claps.

one of my friend - Tahsin been invited to dance.

After that, we going for our last shopping in Bali, buy souvenir for friend and Family.

 The last day we take our dinner in Bali, we all taking dinner with sea shore together , is like a simpliest farewell ceremony.

Bye Bali, See You Next Time.

The main attraction here is a long rectangular pool carved of stoned, filled with koi and fed by scared spring via 12 fountains. Worshipers first make an offering at the temple, then climb unto the main pool to bathe and pray. Many collect the holy water in bottle to take home. Nearby there are two smaller pools fed by spring, 

After visited the temple, we going the next destination - Tegalalang rice terarace.

Tegallalng Rice Terraces in Ubud is famous for its beautiful scenes if rice paddies involving the subak( traditional Balinese cooperative irrigation system), which according to history, was passes down by a revered hold maned Rsi Markandeya in 8 century.

Tegallang has an outlook that spread down before you and away to the rice terrace on the slopes across the valley. The high roadside location is cool and breezy ans it is a well-known spot for tourists to stop and take photo.

Lastly, a selfie say bye to this beautiful rice terrace.

Later we have been stop at a shop 'Putra Minang' to having our lunch.

Finally we reach the place, Tanah Lots.

For the Balinese, Pura Tanak Lot is the one of the most important and venerated sea temples, famed for its unique offshore setting and sunset backdrops.

An Hindu shrine perched on top of an outcrop amidst constantly crashing waves. Tanah Lot is simply among Bali's non to be missed landmark.

Everyone was waiting to catching the golden moment , wait for the sunset, but too bad that's lots of clouds blocked the scene.

The poeple must lead by the guider to across the sea to the temple.

Cloud cover the sunset but we still had a wonderful time there. Just sitting on the shore taking all the surrounding, tranquility and beautiful view worth the visit.

After that , we check-in Tanaya, located in Kuta.

The interior was unexpected clean, like finally I can sleep my own bed.

Deng Deng Deng..... Ladies and gentleman is shopping time, feel too bad 4 of them could not join us shopping with us.

The price in here are been label very high, so it's the time to show off your skills , buy with cheap and low price. Mostly when I saw the thing that I'm really get interested, I will express like I don't care, and leave the store with 'SLOW-MOTION' .After that, the shopkeeper will yell and lowering the price. When the price getting lower and lower, it's time to deal with them.

I bought 2 'Aladdin' pant with 4500 rupiah with the original price 120,000 rupiah, feeling so satisfied.

There's also lots of painting and art selling here too,

Because we lack of the time , we skip the lunch, we visit the house in Green Village.

Bali's Green Village is built entirely from bamboo.Construction on the village began in 2010, design by Ibuku. The house contructed with locally souced materia; and traditional building techniques.

There a opening on the roof to allows the ventilation and light to enter the house.

There's a swing door near the entrance , its make the house more interesting and can't it to explore  the whole house.

The ground floor is a very big living area and surprisingly the house is constructed downwards. The house fits in perfectly with the surrounding natural landscape of Bali's scared Ayung River.

The staircase enter to the lower ground floor.

The lower ground floor with a small living area and a walkway.

The first bedroom is facing to the river.

The toilet area also constructed by bamboo.

The room is design with very cute way a ladder beside the bed.

Another staircase going down to lower ground floor 2.

The master bedroom is located on the lower ground floor 2, behind the master bedroom there;'s is one more staircase to the swimming pool area.Its actually very lightweight, and the structure connects with nature without disrupting it.

The pool area is facing nicely to the river.The house design concept  is actually the shell of the turtle. The house is flexibility and maintaining its load-bearing role, the lowest ground floor integrated into natural stone foundations.
