Lazy post ahead!
Posting some pictures from Bali without typing much, just want to be a day closer to day 10.
You might be able to tell, I wasn’t as enthusiastic as my other trips.
My 7th day at Bali was a long day, we went to 4 different places all together.
#1 First destination was Pura Gunung Kawi.
#2 There were paddy terraces around the area.
#3 Along the way, there’s quite a number of cute things for tourists to buy too.
#4 I personally like this quite a lot.
#5 And more paddy terraces.
#6 My mom in white.
#7 We walked further in to get a good look at the Hindu temple.
#8
#9 My brother in the sarong he rented.
#10
#11 After spending some time at Pura Gunung Kawi, we headed to Kintamani to get a dramatic view of the volcano. That’s a first for me.
We often get to see and learn a lot through images and videos but when we really get to see or experience what we saw on the television, it’s a whole new different feeling.
And it’s a good one, I must say.
#12 Balinese trying to sold off this puppy for Rm300 and it was so fat and fluffy! I was dying to carry it home, only if I could.
We then head over to Pura Taman Ayun during noon time.
#13 Ladies are not allowed into the temple during menstruation.
#14 Mom. (Okay I’m getting really lazy.)
#15 Saw two roosters being locked up in a cage like thing under the hot sun, poor them.
#16 Temples at Pura Taman Ayun.
#17
Pura Taman Ayun actually works like a recreational park but with temples in it. There were lots of Balinese when we were there, just enjoying their time with family members and friends.
#18 I wore leggings that day and it was a very wrong move! Shouldn’t wrapped up my pair of short legs when it was burning hot.
During evening, our driver bought us to try Luwak coffee at Lumbung Sari.
‘Kopi luwak (Indonesian pronunciation, or civet coffee, refers to the beans of coffee berries once they have been eaten and excreted by the Asian Palm Civet.’
#19 Coffee beans.
#20 Civet being locked up for tourists to have a look at but only temporarily. After being locked for months, they will be let go into the wild according to the owner.
#21 Bunch of beans.
#22 An old lady frying coffee beans, just to demo and show us how it’s done.
#23 My brother then decided to give it a try, seems like he had fun.
#24 After taking a tour and understanding how they produced Luwak coffee, we were then taken to a hut.
#25 Lumbung Sari offered us 9 different coffees and teas to try for free, hoping that we will buy them home.
#26 Ordered a cup of Luwak coffee to try and I cant tell much how good it tasted. I like drinking coffee but I’m really not good at it, haha.
#27 While on the way back to our hotel, the driver stopped somewhere along the way and showed us another paddy terraces. It was beautiful.
#28 I went down the stairs to take a better look and I came across this grandpa who kept asking me to snap a picture of him. I did but after I snapped his picture, he asked for money wtf.
Okay, 7th day done. LOL!
