We stayed at Barong Resort in Ubud. Most Malaysians like to stay in Jimbaran, Seminyak or any other places closer to the beach. But I don't like crowded beaches and I want to stay near the padi fields. Ayu didn't like this idea. To her we could always go back to Kedah to look at sawah padi. I told her Kedah doesn't have padi bukit.
the famous Ubud market... beli kain...
buffet lunch with a view...we wanted to climb this mountain, tapi takut tak larat..
sunset at tanah lot...
Good thing we made the trip short. Not that I didn't like the place but the longer we stay, I'm not only burning my pockets, I might burn my pants and underwear to ashes as well. Unless you have deep pockets that run through your legs, 2 nights are just right to keep it within reasonable budget. It depends on what you want to do really. I wanted to look at landscapes and Ayu wanted to shop in markets and bazaars. At Ubud, we both got a bit of what we wanted.
kopi luak anyone? seafood lunch at Jimbaran beach...Ayu had lobster that day...
Weather was sunny and it hasn't been raining for quite awhile. I don't like the idea of wearing shades. Everywhere I go (not just Bali), I want to see landscapes as it is, in it's glorifying natural colours. Unfortunately this comes with an expense. It was here in Bali that I first noticed something peculiar with my eye sight. After we came back, the symptom persisted. One visit to the specialist, I was diagnosed with retinal detachment.
It's unfortunate for this to happened and it took away some excitement after coming back home. But I'm thankful that it happened now for me to treat it early. If not I wouldn't have known both of my eyes are affected and its too late for any kind of treatment. Anyway, Bali was a good trip and we will definitely go back one day. To me I can say that literally, there was more about Bali than meets the eye!
