Second Day Tour

On our second day in Bali, we went on a Day trip to the many famous tourist hot spot around southern Bali. Before we left, we went for breakfast, we ate at Mc'D.

Then, we went back to the hotel to wait for our driver, his name is Made, the cousin our of the cab driver, Wain. Then he came and ask around who is he suppose to drive that day, then he found us sitting by the fish pond. He discuss with us about the places we are going, he showed us the map and tell us about the places. Then, we went to the van and begin our trip to the many places we're going.

After 1and a half hour, we've finally arrived at our first destination, Gua Gajah(elephant cave). Outside there's a holy fountain, we washed our faces in the water, then there was a small cave, that is Gua Gajah, we went inside and have a look, it was dark, but there were torches set up inside the cave, the cave was actually a temple inside. Then we went hiking up the hill, then we saw a river, further up there's this really cool large rock with a 4 foot long fossilized seashell, further up, there's a Beji(holy spring), we prayed at the Beji, then we went downhill and continue our trip.

A 30minutes drive from Gua Gajah, we've arrived at our second destination, the Holy Spring. At the entrance, there is a huge fish pond, walk further up, you will see a large spring pool with many people bathing in it, that is the Holy Spring, people pray and rinse themselves with "charmed" spring water. Master also went in there and pray. We went around the Holy Spring, there was a holy pond, and a temple.

Then, it's off we go to Kintamani volcano, it took us an hour to reached there, we went there for lunch, there was a buffet, delicious......We ate as much as we could, after all, it's buffet, you can eat whatever you want, and no matter how much you eat, the price will stay the same. We even got a special seat, we sat in a hut, there is also the volcano view seat, but it is all occupied, so we sat in the hut and enjoy our delicious buffet lunch. I have a bowl of delicious vegetable soup, I shared it with Master, and also a bowl of hot steaming sweet potato rice, I also shared this with Master. Master had s.p. rice, vegetable soup, 2 sticks"chicken" satay, and 3 sticks of Balinese satay. He also had some fried rice and fried noodles, and he drank tea. Then we took pictures of the volcano, it was beautiful.....Then, we go back to the van and head off to next stop. But before we even got on to the van, many "beggars" were chasing after us begging us to buy their clothes.....

After that, we head off to Tanah Lot, a temple by the sea. It took us 2 hours from Kintamani to there. Before we've arrived Tanah Lot, we've stopped by a coffee farm, it is home to the world's most disgusting yet most expensive coffee bean---the Weasel coffee, or as the Indonesians called it, the Kopi Luwak, it was actually made of undigested coffee beans that had been reproduced by weasels. It sounds disgusting, but it's quite delicious you know!!! At first, Master bought a stick of grilled sweet corn, and eat it along the walk, we had to walk 500m from the main entrance to the temple site. It was a lovely evening and we get to see semi-sunset and we also saw waves splashing out against the small cliffs, Master even took snapshot of the action of the splashing waves, it was "Splashy"!!!! Along the rocky shore, there were rock pools, and there were fishes, crabs, sea cucumber, sea anemone, seaweed, seahorses etc. Then, we walk along the beach. did I mentioned that we also went to another "Beji"........!!!

Next, it's our last stop of the day, we went to Jimbaran for a delicious seafood dinner, and watch the sunset, but unfortunately, we've missed the sunset.....But at least we get to have dinner!!!!
Master said it was delicious, they ate grilled fish, barbecued squid, grilled prawn and crab and some vegetables, Zoe and I only get to eat the rice and some veggies that Master prepared for us.

And After that, we head back to Kuta and have a goodnight sleep, it took us an hour to reach back, and there was a huge jam even though it's already 10pm.

First "evening" in Bali

You might be wondering why I've typed "First evening"..........The reason why is that we've only get to spend the evening because we've arrived there on 3p.m. or so.......... We checked into the hotel, leave our luggage, humans change their clothes, then we went for a walk around Kuta Square, while we're doing that, we also search and do some surveyance on what restaurant were gonna eat at that night.
After that, we went to the beach, there are many people at the beach, they flying kites, play tag, there are also play football, swimming and surfing too . We walk around the beach to look for a spot to sit on, then Master head into the water and look for live corals to collect. Oh and we also saw a group of weirdos kicking "Dead Fish", EWW......gross isn't it!!??!!
Then, we left the beach and went for dinner, we had dinner at a restaurant called Bali Colida, it's actually just a fancy western restaurant with only a few Balinese courses...... so anyway, Master ate spaghetti marinara, mashed potatoes and a bowl of tomato soup; Dad ate seafood dishes; And Mama ate vegetarian dish, ceasar salad...... just look at the pictures below. I envy them...... I wish I was a human, then i can enjoy those delicous food, and have so fear of eating chicken, ducks, geese, or any other animals, especially birds.....Oh no, i'm becoming humanized, Arghhhhh!!!!!

After that, we head back to the hotel and get ready for the next day......

Hi, it's me, Coco, Cockatoo Pendial Charlie/Cacatua Sulphurea(genus)/Cacatua Cackatuoo Sulphures Sulphrea Galerita (Latin identity name). Last Thursday, Dad, Mama and Master brought Zoe and I to the beautiful and currently peaceful state island of Bali!!!!!!.Which part of Bali you ask, well in the famous busy touring city of Kuta of course. Oh and, did i mentioned that Winnie went there before too...........

And now for the story..........
Last Thursday Morning, we had a minor breakfast before we went to the airport. Then, at 7.15a.m., the taxi(cab in the U.S. and Aussies)came to pick us up to the LCC Terminal. after a ride of about 1hours and 15minutes, we've finally arrived at the LCC Terminal, it was huge when i saw it. After we got into the terminal, we get our boarding passes and settle our luggage, we ain't need to check in because Mama already checked in on the night before the day on the internet website. After that, we went to breakfast at the CHOCOLATE LOUNGE, mmm........delicious, Zoe and i ate the omelet that Master shared with us, yummy.........and some of those bird cookies that Master made for us.

After breakfast, we went to immigration, then we waited till 10.25a.m. for our flight to the capital city of Bali, Denpasar city.

During the flight, we had lunch, Master had ham and cheese sandwich, Mama and Dad had Nasi lemak, Zoe and I had some little pieces of bread, and more bird cookies!!!!!. Then, Master, Zoe and I listened to the MP3 that Master brought, and i've danced to the rhythm!!!!......oh, and i did the moonwalk!!!! i danced with Zoe on the seat table.......... after that, we nap.....

After a 3hours 27minutes flight, we've finally arrived in Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport Terminal. We stepped out of the plane and breathe the breath of Balian air.

Then, we went to immigration and custom checks, then we took a taxi/cab(taksi in indo.). We took the cab to the hotel were staying, our cab driver, Wain(pron. wai-yan) chatted with Dad about the popular places in Bali and he also gave us his phone number so we could contact him when we needed to go on a tour (his not going to bring us on tours, only his cousin, Made(pron. Maa-di) will. Anyway, after a fifteen minutes ride in a cab, we finally arrived at the hotel were staying, Harris hotel Kuta, Bali. But Winnie stayed in Hotel Mercure, which is way better than ours, it has a ocean view, street view, and it is just a 26second 2.4mph walk to the Kuta Beach St. Mc'D!!!!!! And it ain't need to walk so far to get to the main street ; While ours need to take a 3minutes 42second 2.4mph walk to get to the main entrance, and took a 4minutes 21seconds 3mph walk to get to that Mc'D!!!!! WOW......!!!!!

Docken is injured

A few days ago, Docken was walking around the neighbourhood guarding an old man on wheelchair while being pushed by his maid (kakak) beside the road on that morning (he does that every morning so he could get treats from an old lady).

Then, suddenly, a motorcycle passed by and Docken went chasing it off until......, suddenly......, a car turned in and it accidentally hit Docken's legso, Docken's leg was injured. Dad brought Docken home and clean him off, then sanitized the woundp the wound with a cotton and cloth.

Today, Docken's leg is healed and the wound is un-wrapped, but he cannot walk in four legs anymore because the bone was broken.
