Bali-One from my Bucket

Image
        It was a Brouhaha at the picturesque sight of the vigorous Tanah Lot temple  with the stark blue sea at the backdrop romancing with the dazzling morning sun here at Bali. Everyone were exulted at the bewitching   fusion of land and sea which was no less than the best painting ever seen by mankind. The frothy vociferous tides hitting the calm iron willed black rocks inside the sea  was no less  than the most  delighting  picture that human can ever imagine. Welcome to the place which has made Bali famous in the map of the world tourism- The Tanah Lot (PURA TANAH LOT) Spread across a vast area with lush green background supported by the ancient sculptures and wall craving was a shot in the arm making the place vivid and vivacious. We started from our hotel by 8 AM amidst the rain pouring like cats and dogs  with our driver Mr Negrah   and with his Toyota SUV .In fact the parking lot in fro...

One Fine Day At Bali

A different place, different people, different culture and a different cuisine. Welcome to Bali, the land of ancient temples .By 7.30 AM we got a call from the driver while we were having breakfast in a cozy Wina Holidays Restaurant. We had arranged one cab from the nearest travel agent (B.B Tours)  to visit all the important and famous places that we have seen on the internet. We are supposed to visit 6 to 7 places at different locations throughout the Bali Island. Bali is lot different from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Only white skinned Europeans and the red skinned Australians could be found all over the restaurant. I took egg omelette with bread along with fruits and all the English breakfast items to get myself fille...

We woke up by 6.30 and got ready by 7.30 had our breakfast. This time the breakfast was eatable. We had a heavy breakfast  with some flavored rice,curry, pancakes,yogurt and all. Done with the breakfast we asked the Hotel travel manager about the fastest mode of transportation to UNIVERSAL STUDIO . She said take a taxi and asked If we had Universal Studio Passes. We brought 4 passes from her , To reach universal studio by metro was a daunting task as we had to change metro 3 times then catch a bus . We thought of it time consuming and equally tiring. So we booked a taxi  and in 20 minutes  he dropped us  at the basement parking of the Universal Studio. Two flights of escalator and we are straight into the Universal Studio Gate. Long queue was getting even more longer to get into the theme park. After 30 Minutes we were inside with lot of luggage. We then kept one luggage except 2 cameras in the locker room. 5 SGD wasted as the automated Locked doesn’t return an...
