Bali, Indonesia - Day 4

We started the day early we had to leave the hotel by 8 am, after breakfast we headed off straight to Batu Bulan where we watched the BARONG dance. I am a bit confused about what they were using it’s a costume or puppets hmmm… but anyhow it was really cute and nice. The show was about and hour, then we just tour the area took some pictures and headed off to SARI AMERTA where the driver said it was cheaper to shop there for the same things sold at KUTA cause it was more expensive, so as soon as we got down we started to shop for this and that and this and that, we spend quiet a lot but its nothing compared to shopping in MALAYSIA.

The Barong Dance

WE bought quiet a lot of souvenirs, clothes, decorations and what not, then form there we headed to a place where they CELUK BATIK. The art work was nice and different, but some how to me I preferred the ones in MALAYSIA better. We bought a pair of slippers for Hubby’s nephew, and from here we headed off to a different place where they did silver, and I tell the amount of hard work you have to do in making even a simple pendent or earrings, was really interesting but they were pretty quick in doing maybe because they were doing it for ages now. By the way all the items here were sold in UDS.


The Silver Making Process

Then we stopped at a coffee tasting place I totally forgotten the name of the place, but we got to taste many kinds of drinks and it all taste so good. The retail price of the items we tasted were really expensive even our driver told us not to buy it there. After visiting these tow places we made a short stop to this place where they grow coffe and coco, here they provied free tasting session of all their drink and it was so yummy but the retail prices we dam expensive so we didn't buy any.

Then we visited a holy temple (I totally fortotten the name) where we had to wear a piece a cloth to cover our self before entering the place, hubby had fun because of all the nice pictures that can be taken in detail.

From here we just headed back to the hotel, we showered rested had dinner and headed out shopping around KUTA area again. We shop around KUTA area every night so you can only imagine how much of things we bought. After our little shopping spree we when back and crashed pretty early actually because we were so tired.
