Bali Trip - Day 2

Our holiday only properly started on Day 2 of our trip. We hired a private van with a driver for 2 days which cost per day was 350,000 rupiah (not inclusive of parking fees, entrance fees and food). Our first stop was Nusa Dua beach where we took a boat out to Turtle Island, which was sort of an animal sanctuary for turtles and other type of reptiles.







Later on, we visited the Monkey Temple and there were lots of monkeys running around in the wild. We were cautioned that the monkeys would jump on us and in fact one of them did jump on Max.



For lunch, the driver took us to this restaurant with a really nice view of the rice terraces and fields. Here is what we saw from the restaurant window:



After lunch, we headed to Bedugul to visit the famous temple on the lake.



Funny picture of the 5 guys:



I suppose a trip to Bali wouldn't be complete without getting some of the "Kopi Luwak" or civet coffee. We did not buy any though, as we are not coffee drinkers. Some of our friends bought the coffee as gifts for people back home. It's not cheap, almost RM100.00 for just a small box.



For dinner, we had seafood on the beach. The restaurant gave us flowers to wear in our hair, even for the guys :)



There was a traditional dance performed during the dinner and we took a few pictures with the dancers.
