Road Trip--Ubud, Bedugul, Gitgit Waterfall in Bali

Ibu Oka's Babi Guling in Ubud












Bedugul Market






Danau Bratan, Bedugul


























Gitgit Waterfall









On our third day, we hired a driver to drive us from Sanur to Lovina. We spent Rp650,000 for this trip. It's much more expensive if you're travelling one way because the driver will have to be back to their own town very late, and they'll be back on empty car. So, very difficult to bargain for lower price. We still went ahead with this plan, as we did not want to spend time travelling to and fro everyday.

We arrived at Ubud quite early, around 11.30am for an early lunch at Ibu Oka, the famous babi guling shop in Ubud. The babi guling was delicious but very oily. I bet my mom is going to love it! It's only Rp25,000 per person.

Then, we passed Ubud town but we didn't stop for any art and crafts seeing. And definitely not the monkeys too! On the way to Bedugul, we saw rice terrace. But the scale was way too small compared to what we saw in Guilin and Nepal (Yee Hau's trip), so we didn't intend to stop at all.

Our driver took us to Bedugul market and we bought some strawberries and also some crackers. But seriously, the crackers weren't good at all!

Then, we reached the famous tourist spot of Danau Bratan in Bedugul. I bet you've seen this in Bali guide book. The place was full with tourists and we spotted lots of Penangites aunties and uncles too! Muahahahaha!

After Bedugul, the driver drove us to Gitgit waterfall. It was quite a long walk from the entrance to the waterfall itself. The water was cooling but we didn't play in the waterfall, cause it'll just be so troublesome to change there. What's more, we have cameras!

At 4pm something, we finally checked into our room at Melka Excelsior Hotel in Lovina. We decided to stay here just because of the dolphins. Melka Excelsior Hotel is quite a lousy hotel in terms of facilities, and lots of things were still under rennovation. Of course, I didn't expected this from the website. I think it's all because they use up all the money in maintaining the dolphin pools. Yes, dolphins. We stayed there so that we could swim in their pools with dolphins (at least me!).
