Travelogue: Honeymoon to Bali 10-03-2014 to 13-03-2014 Day 3

Day 3

Day 3 was a long day as a long list of activities was lined up for us.

Day 3 activities:
      ♥ Seawalker Sanur
      ♥ Water Sports Activities
      ♥ Tour regarding the making of Kopi Luwak (Cat Poop Coffee)
      ♥ Monkey Forest
      ♥ Ubud for good food
      ♥ Massage at Smart Day Spa

As usual we went to have our buffet breakfast spread at the hotel and went to the hotel lobby to wait for our driver to pick us up for the Seawalker activity.

We had bought the Seawalker activity package from groupon at around SGD50+ each and it includes transport, lunch and insurance. Many water sports company does seawalker activity too but the one we headed to was the famous one which is located at Puri Santrian a Beach Resort and Spa.

The instructor will brief us at first and there will be a boat  to transport us to a larger boat which is the main boat for our Seawalker journey.

The whole journey underneath the sea last about 20mins. Down there we will able to feed the fishes and we even get the chance to grab hold of a star-fish. There will be a railing for us to hold onto under the sea. The sea is actually only 5m deep. It is actually a very safe in the sea as we have very experienced divers. We were also able to keep our faces dry due to the BIG ASTRONAUT HELMET. The helmet is to provide us with oxygen.  We were accompanied by a professional photographer to take all the pretty pictures of us.

It was a GREAT EXPERIENCE walking underneath the sea with fishes swimming around us.

After our Seawalker activity, we had our free lunch and the food was mediocre. Well, photos are deceiving.

We actually booked a driver with us for our 3rd day. It was only IDR 500K for the whole day and we can go anywhere we want. Called the driver to picked us up at the resort and off we go for next activity which was Water Sports! Was so excited too as we had never done it in our lives.

The driver used the expressway to bring us to the destination and their expressway was really EXPRESSWAY. Not many cars was there and it was a smooth journey unlike Singapore's expressway. The motorcyclist had a lane for themselves at the expressway.

The Water Sport company was actually recommended by our guide as there were some other companies which also do water sport activities but without good instructors. Wanted to try the Parasailing but due to weather circumstances, we were not able to do this activity. So we picked 3 activities which are Flying Fish, Banana Boat and Jet Ski. These costs us around USD100+ for 2 pax which includes photos and videos.

Next activity: Banana Boat

The last activity was Jet Ski. BB were to go for a tutorial on riding the Jet Ski for 5mins and for the next 15mins, BB will be riding the Jet Ski with me behind. That was the COOLEST moment for him.

After all the activities, the driver drove us to Ubud which is a 1.5hrs journey from Kuta. On the way there, the driver brought us to a farmer's place where Kopi Luwak was being made.

Fed a lot mosquitoes there with my blood. We also bought 2 coffee as souvenirs from them. And off we continue our journey to Ubud. Reached monkey forest and it was started drizzling but we still continued our monkey forest journey. The tickets was only SGD2 each. We were lucky enough to had finished the monkey forest journey when it started to rain heavily.

Monkeys wondering around everywhere

TIME FOR GOOD FOOD IN OUR TUMMY! When it started to rain, the driver picked us up and off we head to have our Dirty Duck dinner. The duck was crispy on the outside and the meat was tender on the inside.

After our dirty duck dinner we set off to the next place Naughty Nuri's Warung & Grill. This places certainly has the most tender and juicy pork ribs. The pork rib was marinated and grilled till flavourful. The meat is soooo soft that it can be easily removed from the bones. I can have this everyday.

The driver was actually quite shocked when we wanted to eat at 2 different places thinking that what a huge appetite we have. But we ordered everything to share so the amount of food we had was actually not much. After our delicious dinner, the driver drove us back to Kuta which was another 1.5hrs journey.

Back to hotel and that was not the end of our activity yet. Bathed and off we go for massage at Smart Day Spa. Wanted to have the 4 hand massage but the place was too full during that time so we proceed to have just Balinese Massage instead. We choose the 90mins one which cost only IDR 140,000 which is around SGD 15. Damn cheap and good massage.
