Ni la Pak Supir yg jd driver kiteorg selama 5 hari..name die Redi. Nampak tak kain petak2 hitam putih buat balut tiang tu...kain corak tu akan dilihat di mana-mana sahaja sepanjang perjalanan di sekitar Bali.
Kiteorg tiba di Batubulan Art Village lebih kurang pukul 10 am. Batubulan ni adalah sebuah kawasan yang penuh dengan barang2 kesenian tp we all hanya select utk ke tpt yg berkaitan dengan batik je. So Pak Supir singgah la kt sebuah kedai ni yg ade jualan batik. Masuk je kedai tu baju dilekat sticker diskaun. So kalau beli ape2 kt kedai tu dpt la diskaun. Nothing much kt kedai tu selain dr menjual pakaian batik dn lain2 brg. Seperti biasa bile bwk budak2 ni mesti la ade yg nk singgah toilet. Lps balik dr toilet kiteorg terserempak la dgn warga Bali yg berpakaian tradisional. Hehe..sempat la bergambar.
Keluar dr kedai x le tangan kosong je, beli la jugak kain batik and baju tidur batik utk Irfan. It's cheap. Kain batik die panjang dan bukaan besar. Normally, org mcm aku ni perlukan yg panjang dn bukaan besar. Kt mesia dlm RM30 mcm tu. Situ dpt beli x sampai RM20. Aku ni pun jarang pakai kain batik. Pakai mase pantang je hahahaha. Huhu ade kain cop liverpool u...
We don't spend much time in the shop. Pukul 10.45 we make a move to Kintamani. Ni serba sedikit gamba around kedai batik tu.
Oh ya, kt luar kedai tu ramai org menjual souveniers ye. So terpulang le nk beli ke tk tp we all ignore je except for my dad. Mcm biase die akn beli jugak sbb kesian. Die beli sunglass. Nampak tk kt dlm gamba...x sure plak brape rege.
Ok next destination Mount Batur in Kintamani. Dlm perjalanan ke Mount Batur, driver tu lalu la jln2 yg penuh dgn jualan arts. Ade paintings, ade ukiran, ade silvers n mcm2 but not interested to get those stuffs. Cume my hubby tetibe teringin nk pg kedai ukiran but we only make it on our way back from Kintamani. Kintamani is situated towards the northen side of Bali. Perjalanan x le jauh sgt tp disebabkan jalanraya yg sempit dn x bleh laju it took us an hour plus from the shop. Paling laju yg driver bleh drive is only 60km/hr. Throughout our journey we see a lot of mende2 gantung mcm kt bwh ni. Rupenye2 the next day tu Hari Galungan & Kuningan masyarakat kaum Hindu kt Bali. Kire raya dieorg la ni. So mende ni ape ntah name die lupe plak digantung kt entrance every houses and every shop.
When we almost arrived at our destination ade la 1 pondok jaga ni kt tepi jln. Tetibe kot, tgh2 jln ade pondok jaga. Sebenarnya, kt cni la kene baya entrance fee. Although kiteorg pg 6 dewasa and 3 kanak2, Pak Supir suruh bilang sama org yg collect fee tu 6 dewasa je. Rege entrance IDR10,000 per pax = RM 3. Lps pondok tu dlm 5 mins br la sampai ke restoran tu. Wah, sejuk btol mcm kt Cameron Highlands. Most of tpt duduk dlm restoran ni menghadap view Gunung ok. Very nice view. Ade 2 puncak gunung yg dpt dilihat dr restoran in which it is situated in between of Danau Batur. Sebelah kanan Gunung Agung, sebelah kiri Gunung Batur. Haha lupe plak nk amik nama Restoran. x silap kiteorg mkn kt Restoran Batur Sari. Ok la ade ruang utk solat tp jgn la harap mcm kt Malaysia ye. Ruang solat dh le kecik n kene kongsi laki pompuan. So kiteorg terpaksa bergilir. Boleh muat 3 ke 4 org je skali solat. Ha lg 1, kalau perasan kn, mostly sume restoran akan ade mcm patung kt entrance. Kalau main redah mmg kiteorg x brani nk masuk restoran takut x halal tp memandangkn Supir kate halal..so yakin je la. Masyarakat Bali ni x bleh nk beza yek Muslim ke bkn Muslim. Mereka adalah melayu tp agama berlainan. Bkn mcm kite kt Malaysia, kalau rupe Melayu mostly assume Muslim. Kalau nampak org mcm pakai kopiah atau kain kt kepala tu bukan Muslim yek. Tu sume beragama Hindu. Confuse ok.

Frankly speaking, food die x sesedap food kt Malaysia tp janji boleh la nk telan. Sini buffet ye, IDR 100,000 = RM30 per pax. Kids half price tp my younger 2 sons mkn free. Lps mkn & solat we make a move to Satria Agrowisata..tpt penghasilan kopi. I am not a coffee lover but saje je tgk tpt org. Lebih kurang pukul 3 pm kiteorg sampai di Satria Agrowisata. No entrance fee kt sini. Sebelum sampai ke kawasan penghasilan kopi, kiteorg kene melalui jln yg kiri kanan ade ditanam pokok kopi. Lps tu ade sangkar "Luwak" aka musang. Dieorg exhibit musang tu just for tourist view sahaja.
Then, in the middle of the area ade la tpt utk tourist tgk how coffee is processed. Next, we were brought into coffee tester area. Nampak tk gelas kecik2 ats meja tu. Ade lbh kurang 12 jenis minuman yg kiteorg rase. Tu sume free tp kalau nk test kopi luwak kene baya la yek. Nasib baik la kiteorg ni x minum kopi luwak. Bkn ape rase geli kot. Bg sape yg tau penghasilan kopi luwak tau la dr mana biji kopi tu dieorg kutip. Ikut kate supir, alim ulama kt Indonesia kate kopi luwak boleh minum. Tp bg kiteorg walau mcm mane pun kiteorg x kn minum. Full stop. Among all the coffees and teas kt ats tu, yg boleh diterima tekak adalah lemon grass tea, coconut coffee, mangosteen tea & mocha. Ade yg biase2 je n ade yg huh x leh telan. Pastu mcm biase dieorg akn pancing utk beli. Hmm...agak mahal yek. For a packet of lemongrass tea dlm 200 gm rege die IDR 90,000 = RM27 and coconut coffee IDR100,000 = RM37. Kiteorg amik 2 tu je saje nk bwk balik minum.
Finally, our final destination for today is in Ubud Area. Shopping kt Pasar Ubud & to Puri Saren Agung. On our way, singgah la kejap kt tpt ukiran. Huh, byk ukiran patung la...ukiran alam x byk n mahal. So tpt tu singgah dlm 15 min je. Nothing to buy or to watch, hanya jd tpt persinggahan kids lpskn qada hajat..On our way to Ubud, Supir tu bwk lalu kawasan tourist yg famous. Mmg ramai tourist. Monkey Sacred temple ke ape ntah name die. We are not interested to go to such places sbb kt Mesia ni pun byk monyet. At 5 pm we arrived in Ubud Market. Kt pasar ni byk jugak le jual brg2 seni, alat2 muzik pun ade...anak mintak belikan ukulele..initial price die letak IDR500,000 = RM150...huh mahalnye..i tried to bargain more than half, i told him we budget IDR150,000 = RM45 je...die try turunkn price to IDR400,000 and we still don't accept and try to move away. Finally, die agree bg IDR150,000. Ha..amik ko more than half turun rege. pastu die pujuk suh amik lg satu n die bg IDR120,000 je for the additional ukulele...hehe x pe la, 1 cukup. So we learnt something, bargain for 70% less from the initial price. Kalau x boleh mmg dieorg x kn bg...so u can move to other shop. Brg2 lbh kurang je kt sume kedai. We also bought beach pants. Ni jd suar tido je. Kt mesia kalau beli dlm RM20 - RM30. Kt sini kiteorg dpt paling murah IDR40,000 = RM12..ok la tu. Mcm biase tawar more than half dulu.
X byk yg kiteorg shopping kt sini sbb x de plan nk beli mende sgt. Area ubud ni ade jugak branded shop mcm Polo. Lps shopping jam dh menunjukkan pukul 6.15 pm. We cancelled our plan to go to Puri Saren Agung walau hanya 100 meter dr Pasar Ubud sbb my mom n dad x nk pg. Lg pun nothing much kt situ and we don't have any plan to watch the Traditional dance pun. So, straight ahead back to Hotel and end our 1st day trip in Ubud.
Back in Hotel, buat hal sendiri. Lps solat pg swimming. Oh ya, hotel tu swimming bukak je sampai tgh mlm. Then around 8 pm ade band. Ok la tu x le sunyi sgt. My sister plak pg jln2 sekitar hotel tinjau2 Spa..oh acara wajib bila di Bali. Cari yg ok n murah. Spa mmg byk area legian, kuta and seminyak. So survey je mane berkenan x pun amik je paling dekat dgn hotel sbb price x jauh beza. Nnt kite cite pasal Spa.
