I bet there are hundreds if not thousands of drivers around Bali. But we were assured his English was excellent and very reasonably priced. So we thought, why not. We added him on Facebook and informed him of our arrival.
So Bali.
We visited and spent six weeks on this beautiful island. Yes, we stayed in the tourist area of Legian. But the real Bali is out there for you to capture and be in awe of.
OMFG, yes I dropped the F-bomb. The Ulun Danu Temple was one of the most incredible temples we had visited. Not because of its beauty (although it was unique with the backdrop of the lake in the volcanic crater). But because I was an actual local for 5 minutes. More about that later on.
This little beauty was somewhere no other tourist guide would take you to. I would pretty much guarantee you that. We had just visited the Royal Palace in Ubud and was asked if we wanted to visit a babi (pork) buffet restaurant and see how the pigs are cooked.
Batik, a Javanese pronunciation 'bate' to the Indonesian 'batik,' originates from the Javanese means to dot, a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to the whole piece of material.
This was another trip right towards the end of our stay here in Bali. We had been to the eastern part all day, and we were both shattered and famished. The place was pretty empty, and the menu was limited.
The Tenganan Village is one of the oldest Balinese Traditional located in Karangasem Regency. It’s a unique insight into a traditional local community, an example of Bali Aga Village cultures (Hindu Prehistoric) and different from any another countryside in Bali.
Okay, so both Lee and I aren't exactly coffee drinkers. But they have a particular kind in Bali that is pretty famous. Coffee Luwak is the coffee in question. So we thought we'd pick some up for my dad who is a massive coffee drinker.
Frankensteins Laboratory is located in Seminyak, Kabupaten Badung. This location, unfortunately, doesn't have any parking, but I would guess that every local taxi driver knows this place well.
The Angel to Angel Art of Silver is a very striking building from the outside. We went to the shop Ubud, but I think they other shops around Bali too. This is technically a silversmith workshop and retail shop but from the outside, it looks like a royal palace.
