Our third day

It was our third day in Bali, it was Master's turn to choose where he wants to go......

First thing in the morning, we had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, and it was delicious!!!! After that, master tries out a ride of flying fox!!! Wow, how fun was that!!! well, i did went on it with Master though..... Master held me before he "flew" , then, when "flew" he released me and we raced down. But unfortunately, I won the race......After that, Master went for a swim. Then, we went back to our room to change, then we went back down to the lobby and wait for our driver to pick us up, once again, we were sitting by the pond for him to show up. Master and I was standing by the entrance to wait for him, and he came, and we followed him to find where is he going to, and we we're right, he was ours! His name is also, Made(pron. "Maa-di"), he's another person from a different company, he discussed with us about the places we're going, and we also made some "modification" to the package, by canceling some places and changing it, his boss charged us a little less. Ha! how nice was that! first stop, Benoa, where we will be riding in a glass bottom boat. We thought the boat was gonna be more shiny, more smooth, and frame less glass bottom, but stand corrected..... The boat was old, dirty, and rusty! There were barnacles and algae growing by the side!!! ewww..... The glass was framed, one of them were leaking! And it was dirty......

We rode the boat to an island, called, Turtle island, it was an island were you get to see turtles, from eggs and infants less than a month old to seniors up to a century old! we get to take pictures with them, and we even get to hold them! the holding charged us money, you know poor countries, they always want money. They even put a sign saying "Please do not touch","Sila jangan sentuh". Beside turtles, there was a bat, and there were reptiles and....BIRDS!!! Master took picture with a snake. That snake was looking at me! And it even KISSED Master!!!! I also took picture with an eagle, he's a "PRETTY BOY"......!

After that, we went back to the beach, and it was Master's turn to decide. It was supposed to be a snorkeling trip, but Dad doesn't want to snorkel. He suggested to go sea walking, but that's too expensive and way too far from the beach, so Dad suggested to go Scuba diving, and they did. it cost Rp600,000 (abt. MYR200) for 2 and lunch was included , that was cheap (seriously that's considered cheap)! They tested out the flippers and diving suit, Mom didn't dive(she's depth-phobic), but instead, she waited on the boat. Zoe and I didn't went, instead, we were taken care by the workers at the station.


Master's words: We saw many fishes there underwater, they were beautiful. We held onto the rocks and took pictures, they used a non-waterproof camera which is same as Dad's and they place it inside a waterproof camera frame. We moved from rock to rock and saw many different varieties of fishes and corals. The water was quite murky but the specimens were beautiful. I remembered that I was pushes down by the current when I accidentally let go off the rock. I fell down, but Dad and one of the dive instructors pulled me up. We were down there for about 20 minutes, but of course that was the limit and it was fun, I do enjoy it very much though. Then when we went back to chore, we had lunch, there was "Nasi goreng pataya" and "Maggi goreng pataya" and it was delicious.

After that, we skipped cultural park and head of to a placed called Uluwatu. Uluwatu is a place at the cliff by the west side of the Bali Straits, it was facing AUSTRALIA!!!!!! Darwin actually, not Tasmania........Anyway, there were monkeys!!!!! they don't scare me, hmm>!!!(spoke with pride) ha ha and ha!!!.... We were walking there and Dad was taking pictures, but Master didn't bring his camera down, why you asked?.....here's why and a story to be told. Mama told master not to bring his camera, and also his glasses, because......
Dad was taking a picture of a monkey, but then, the monkey wanted to go away towards the direction of Dad, we thought it was just trying to get away, but when Dad was looking at the photo, the monkey snatched away Dad's glasses!!!! Mom also did told him not to wear glassed, "but he didn't listen"(sassy accent) luckily it didn't threw it into the sea or anywhere unreachable from the cliff, it hung it on a tree branch! A staff was standing there guarding people and "HELPING" them reach their stuffs that the monkeys snatched away (they only did it for money, that's why i put inverted commas beside the word "helping"). I belive the monkeys were well TRAINED, so that they can PRANK US!!!otherwise the monkey would just throw it into the ocean. IT'S A SCAM I TELLZYA, IT'S A SCAM!!!!!! to trick you so that they could make money!!!!!!(spoke in a paranoid way) Anyway, don't get involved into their sneaky, wicked, cheap scams......they cost you many......they charged us Rp200,000, no discounts....... it's a scam, i saw them giggled...!!!!

After that, we head of to our last stop, also our last destination for the trip. It was suppose to be Jimbaran sunset dinner, but we went there the day before, so we went to Ubud, to eat the famous "Dirty Duck" :0 :x :( , no thanks, i'm a parrot, not an eagle


In Indonesian, it's called "Bebek Bengil", there was a story why it's called that, it's not because of the image of the food, but here's the the picture with the story:I know the words are too small, I'm lazy to type it in, anyway, to magnify it, cocopeachdiary.blogspot.com enables you to save this picture and magnify it.

Master's words: The duck was delicious, it's crunchy and chewy and juicy, sorry Co'ke, no offence
though. Winnie said it was expensive and she wasn't kidding, it's
OUTRAGEOUS
!!!!!

After that, we take a 2 hours ride back to Kuta, and our last day ends.....time passes so, so fast!!!! it's already the last day, and we will be going back home the next day.
