11 - Balinese Special Number

We enjoyed our last day's breakfast at Swiss Belhotel Tuban, before we proceed with the last leg of our itinerary.

Water Palace of Bali

On our second day, we had 2.5 hrs road trip using the east highway, along the coastal towns of: Sanur > Lebih> Goah Lawah (Bat cave) > Amlapura

Along the highway, aside from sea view, you must also look out on the mountain scene, just like this temple on a mountain on the way to Amlapura.

Discovering Subak in Bali

This was actually my second trip to Bali, hence while planning for places to visit, I purposely skip Ubud area, since I have been there before.  Surprisingly, those attractions we visited in this trip all does not require to wear a sarong! Hence its quite relaxing and comfortable trip.

  

Weekend Trip to Bali

Our flight from Singapore to Bali on a Saturday evening was via  KLM, the timing was not ideal, but the promo fare was cheaper than other budget airlines, hence we grab this flight; considering its full flight, which includes checked-in luggage and meals on board.  

Yogyakarta City Tour

This is a continuation of our Borobudur day trip (previous post), and also includes the rest of our stay in Yogyakarta (also Jogja, Jogjakarta), this city is the capital of Yogyakarta Special Region in Java, Indonesia. It is renowned as a centre of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry, and puppet shows.  

Borobudur La Grande Temple

Waking up early for our second day in Yogyakarta.  I woke up quite early at 6 am, and went out to catch the sun rise on Borobudur Temple,

First Day in Jogjakarta - Prambanan

As we arrive in Yogyakarta Airport, it was already 1230 pm hence we first went for lunch.  Since the dining place was on the way to Prambanan temple, which is the nearest tourist spot from airport, so we decided to see this first after our lunch.

Bandung : Land of Unique Volcanoes

Bandung is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, the country's third largest city by population.

Wander full Weekend in Batavia (2 of 2)

Second day in Jakarta - 

I wake up at around 7am and had 10 mins walk from hotel to Thamrin road, to witness the Car Free Day of Jakarta. 

Wander full Weekend in Batavia (1 of 2)

I didn't expect much from this trip, at first I was only after its good food at cheap price.  But surprisingly, there were several things to do in Jakarta. But travel-wise, Jakarta is difficult to get around because of the dense car population, and the pedestrian sidewalks are not so  commuter friendly.  Although their MRT service is under construction, hence in the near future Jakarta might be another tourist haven.
