Bali - Sanur Avenue. On-wheel Photography

6th September - 9th September were the dates that have been waited for a year. I've booked the dates by mistakenly looking at the 2012 calendar last year for the school holiday when in fact, I was actually looking at the Singapore's school holiday. Only after I finished booking that I realized it. Hahaha!! But as the wisdom said, "things happened for reason". U gonna find out the reason later =].

This is Memuah Bali trip (Memuah is a group of happy fun people that I met by blogging and eventually we became close friends in real life). I brought my wife and my little Xiyad along in this trip. Eventhough 2 days before the trip, we were stunned by a 6.4 Richter earthquake that was reported happened in Bali, but once my Supir (driver) texted me that it happened far away from the Bali island, we were relieved.

 We arrived at 10P.M, the Supir was really punctual. They have been waiting us since 6P.M!! 2 Avanzas picked us up and we went straight to our hotels. Due to 'grabbing the best deal", we had 2 different hotels to accommodate the 8 of us. 2 of us stayed at Puri Kelapa Garden Cottage and the rest of us stayed at Sanur Avenue.

 

Sanur Avenue was such a nice place to stay. The rooms are vast, the bed was big and it's really clean. The staffs are friendly, breakfasts were nice too. The breakfast was served in the living area outside of our rooms. We have a table for ourselves!!

First day. we moved at 9A:M. A bit late because my 10-month son slept late the night we arrived so he was still sleeping in the morning. I had to bath him right after he opened his eyes, poor him crying in that bath tub =[. But we had to stick with the plan though.

These are our Supirs!! Ieron, left and Madi. They are punctual, friendly and really helpful. The tentative was already drafted by us before we came so the rest was up to our Supir to amend it so we could cover them in the best way possible. The first thing our Supir did was to swap the first day tentative with the 2nd day. The reason was to cover the nearest place first on the first day. Ok!! So the finalized tentative was;

Day 1 :

-Kuta Beach

-Hard Rock Hotel and Cafe

-Krishna (souvenirs emporium)
-Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park (GWK)

-Uluwatu (Kechak Dance)

Day 2 :

-Tegallalang Rice Terrace 

-Tampaksiring

-Kintamani, Mount Batur volcano

-Tanah Lot

 

For this post, please enjoy the collage of pictures I took while I was in the car. I snapped as best possible composition as I could. I call this on-wheel photography =].

The rest of the pictures tell us the local industrial activities that the Balinese have around Sanur area.

Bottom right : Statues are very common things that they used to decorate their entrances, their rooms and lots more. After all Bali is the Gods Island!!
