Balangan ♥

Balangan beach is located opposite of Pandawa beach. Benchmark from the Nirmala supermarket monument, we turn left onto the Pandawa beach but turn right to Balangan beach. Straight down the road and follow the signs with Balangan Wave written on it.

credits to Dannisk anyway I look so small there -.-

PoHe

Now we were going to a cocktail bar at Seminyak, it is named Potato Head Beach Club. It is a really great place to killing time while waiting for sunset.

while waiting for sunset, we could lay down here freely =)

I should-exactly-have-to-go on a diet, right? X(

pictures were taken using iphone,  it was a bbeautiful sunset =D

Subak

Today we went to Tegallalang at Ubud, Bali to see Balinese rice field called Subak.
Lately I am too lazy in writing, speech and almost everything. So I'm just gonna post pictures with few captions. My hormones are in unstable condition, mood changed just in a wink *sigh*

"out of topic" picture: Batur lake and volcano in Kintamani (we saw it on our way back from Ubud)

Nammosayana

Nammosayana O=)

Nammos is for Nammos Beach and Ayana is for Ayana Resort and Spa. I think most of you are already know about these places which located in Bali. So I'll just post pictures and caption on them.

First, it is Nammos Beach Club Karma Kandara, Ungasan, Bali. You should have lunch here at its Di'Mare Restaurant with Indian ocean view.

Mom and me at Di'Mare Karma Kandara :)

Look at the Indian Ocean!! =D

That 'K' letter refers to Karma Kandara's swimming pool

 Isn't it cool? =D
But Karma Kandara doesn't have a chapel. I think they should built one and I bet it would be great to have a wedding ceremony there.

Now it is at Ayana Resort and Spa, Jimbaran, Bali.

Ayana has a chapel. FYI, Ayana got World's Best Wedding Venue 2012 from CNN Travel

And here I am with my awkward pose (again)

There was my mom standing =D Hahaha

Ayana also has a restaurant. It named Rock Bar. Why? I think you know it while looking at its picture above

Rock Bar's menu

Both of these restaurants, Di'Mare and Rock Bar do not apply minimum purchase to eat on the spot. Anyway Karma Kandara also provide dining facility on the beach, but to reach the beach you have to go down by a small monorail that only up to 5 people capacity. And for this you have to pay IDR 150k per person. There is another way too, if you had dining at Di'Mare with minimum IDR 250k per person then you could go down to the beach for free.

And for Rock Bar, if you and your couple want to have a romantic sunset dinner, choose to sit closer to the edge, the one with sofa. It is small so only fits for two persons. For this, you have to make an order with minimum purchase of IDR 400k (for two persons).

Reflection of nature

Actually this place was not included in our previous itinerary but we saw its signage on our way to Blue Point. So as we came back from Padang Padang Beach, we decided to visited this place. The road to the hotel is not so wide as highway and it is up and down, like a hill (or is it really a hill? I don't know at all hehehe :p)

As we entered inside, there is a temple and a Ganesha statue

Its security was so strict and we've been asking for our purpose going inside. Abel is a really good liar. She told them that I would get married soon and looking for a wedding venue in Bali. The management finally allowed us to look around and going inside but we couldn't see the famous Water Wedding because didn't make any appointment with them before. But how could I make an appointment while me have no boyfriend right now? *pfft*

The pond which is usually used as wedding venue

The swimming pool inside the private villa with private pool. Cool!

The famous Wedding Water venue (copy-pasted from Google)

Actually I was so eager to take a lot of pictures here because this place has so many ponds and pool, look like they can't get enough with water and ocean view as I can see my reflections everywhere =D but we were too scared with the security guards and they would become curious with our previous alibi.

Anyway this place is : BVLGARI Hotels & Resorts Uluwatu

No wonder it has awesome architecture and design right? =)

A (slightly) pink beach

As the second place, we went to Padang Padang Beach. This beach is the shooting scene of Eat, Pray, Love movie which played by Julia Roberts.

Padang Padang Beach ♥

 It has no entrance fee. You just pay for parking fee (Bike : Rp 1,000 ; Car : Rp 2,000) it's very cheap for a great view like this =D
There was no crowded here, just uhm... five to ten people were sunbathing, swimming, and surfing here. It is much more worth to visit than Dreamland beach which I think it's too over-crowded.

My mom and her nature-advanturer-sense :p

 To reach the beach, we have to going through a natural coral tunnel-cave. It fits one adult only to pass through so we have to wait for another people who is going up/down first.

The natural-coral-tunnel-cave

The sand looks like pink, doesn't it?

Ocean wave ♥

It's my holiday!! Yeayyyy!! =D

Olivia a.k.a Abel and I were making this holiday plan since last October actually but... we had to change our itinerary 80% due to bad weather in Bali. We planned to go to Pemuteran and stay at Adhi Beach Resorts (I've already booked two rooms with sea view) but well... we decided to stay at my house. Luckily my house is in Jimbaran area, it is close to Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) and not far from Uluwatu.

For the start.. Abel, my mom and me were going to Blue Point. It is located at Suluban Beach, Uluwatu. Just one word:  lovely ♥

The blue ocean, the blue sky, my blue dress, and also the white wave. Everything is just perfect!

This was not my first time coming here but it was the first for my mom and Abel. But it never failed to make great impression to me :) If you come to Bali, you should come here and go down to the beach (if the weather is good).

I'm so awkward in front of camera as always *blushing*

Suluban Beach ♥

Muaya Beach ♥

Wohoo~!
My bestie, Linda Sumarlie a.k.a Pi was coming to Bali and due to my overload work and very-limited-free-time-of-mine, so we decided to met up and had dinner at Jimbaran Beach. We chose Menega Café which famous for its grilled scallops. It is located within Four Season Resorts, Muaya Beach, Jimbaran. FYI, this restaurant was once a target of Bali Bombing in 2005.

For fresh seafood grilled, Menega Café is the campion. But you have to be willing to wait longer or pay more tip to the waiters to speed-up your order *sigh*
I forgot to capture our food because after a sec they served it on the table, we directly ate them all ! LOL

Don't forget to ask the waiter to mix the spices, it tastes much better than you mix it yourself =)

Me and Pi ♥

Behind the scenes =P

Griya Santrian

This place is located on Sanur beach - Bali. Friendly waiters, outstanding service, beach scene and delicious cuisine. No wonder that many foreign tourists visit this restaurant. And you know what, the price is not expensive as I thought, well comparable to those services I got =)

My beautiful cousins - Sandra and Syanesti :)

Syanesti and me =D

BEEF LASAGNA - most recommended menu!

I ordered iced cappuccino and beef lasagna. Yummy ~♥  

Griya santrian also provides a hotel for tourists who want to stay in Sanur
