My Travel Diaries: Journey to Bali, Indonesia

Journey to Bali 11 Nov 2016 - 14 Nov 2016

On 11 Nov 2016, berpeluang melawat Bali Indonesia with my friend Fauzi@Pojie. We bought ticket RM 380/pax 2 month before departure, tips to travel with friend, make sure he/she show commitment dengan beli tiket dulu ye.

Alhamdulillah rezeki, we should be travel on friday night@10pm (11 Nov) however 1 month before the date airasia send an email mentioned our flight will be delay by 2hours and provide 2 options, whether tukar flight yg awal or tukar date if not agree with revised schedule time.

So we decide to take flight in morning so dapat la sehari di Bali, kalau x we should be arrive at 1am. When bought ticket xnk choose morning flight sbb mahal hahaha tup2x rezeki, so in life we can't expect anything ok :)

Before ke Bali, we booked our hotel at Agoda. Ada banyak lagi web but i more prefer Agoda :)

We budgetted RM100/night with breakfast because since kat tempat orang so xnak pagi2x kene keluar and search our own food. Fauzi the type of not so adventure so dia nak hotel yg safe sikit yg ada security and atleast 3star mcm tu, so ikutkan je la. After searching for 1 week, we finalized our hotel. We choose 2 hotel with different place sebab nak rase feel lain2x.

11 Nov - Alron Hotel (Jln Blambangan, Kuta)***

12 Nov to 14 Nov - Samsara Inn Hotel (Jln Legian, Kuta)***

***Picture di bawah ye

(Cost RM306/2= RM 153/pax)

For accomodation, after review and study berpuluh blogs, many recommend to stay area Kuta since dekat dgn pantai and city area. In my opinion, we prefer Alron Hotel sbb bfast dia banyak choice and facilities dia pun ok cume nak ke Kuta area kene jalan dalam 10min, Samsara Inn location strategic keluar hotel je dah area city cume bfast everyday roti, cococrunch & croissant je.. Lps tu dia xde pintu toilet so sesuai utk org honeymood but not suit utk org macam kite haha

Btw, just nak bagitau solo travel is good but berdua lagi better ye bcoz can share & split the cost by 2 :). Here our cost sebelum pergi ye:

Flight - RM 380/pax
Hotel - RM 153/pax
Duit IDR - IDR 2.5 juta @ (2.5 juta x 0.000324 = RM810)

Total RM 1343.00

Double F (Fauzi & Fendi)

Alron Hotel

Samsara Inn Hotel

Day 1 (11 Nov 2016 - Friday)

07.00 am - Jet Bus from TBS to Klia 2 - RM 11
08.00 am - Breakfast/Chichat/Walkaround KLIA - RM 20
11.00 am - Boarding
15.00 pm - Landing
16.00 pm - Check in Alron Hotel (details as above)
17.00 pm - Jln Surrounding Area Kuta Beach
22.00 pm - Return back Hotel & Mandi Swimming Pool :)

Since our travel date on Friday so we take early bas at 7am to avoid traffic jam. Once sampai terus breakfast kat Paparich then jalan2x area airport sebelum boarding. Perjalanan ke sana lebih kurang 2jam 30min ya. So dalam plane we all terus tidur dalm sejam lebih, lepas bangun Fauzi mengadu boring atas flight so i ajak dia main 1 game ni (refer picture bawah ya).

Choose 1 letter & uji vocab siapa paling banyak lol

Once landing ada nightmare sikit coz kitg kene tahan oleh pihak immigresen sana, habis beg semua diorg geledah termasuk buat 'body inspection' haha, i ok je coz always believe kalau xbuat salah ape nak takut cume dalam kepala teringat lupe simpan no kedutaan malaysia kat Indon incase kalau ape2x jadi tapi Fauzi macam terus xde mood hahaha Alhamdulillah lepas then dapat keluar hooraayyyy :).

Mase kat arrival hall byk supir pengang tanda nama plus ulat2x yg nak cari duit atas langit so beware guys. i did my homework check tambang from airport ke Kuta, around IDR50k (RM16) tapi mase sampai jalan2x xjumpe mane tempat teksi tu then ulat2x ni semua ikut je kite sampai ke toilet haha i memang xbagi muka tapi bila keluar toilet nmpk Fauzi bersembang dgn ulat tu, stress gak time tu tgk pastu terus tanye dia brape ke Kuta then terus dia cakap IDR250K. Terus i buat muka marah cakap mahalnya bukan patut IDR50K je ke, terus dia lari. Maybe cari mangsa lain la kot sbb xleh nak makan we all.

So bagi yg nak ke Area Kuta ni harganya ye, jgn tertipu!! Dari airport ke Kuta dalam 5km mcm tu je

Supir - booking awal dari Malaysia dalam IDR 80K
Teksi - level 4 (atas sekali) IDR 50K, pasti kan ambik teksi bluebird ya sbb pakai meter
Arrange pick up dari Hotel - you all boleh contact by email pihak hotel ask them to pick you all tapi diorg akan charge IDR 150K (Alron Hotel)
Ulat2x - Paling murah IDR 100K to max amount hahaha

So we all gune gune Teksi Airport yg charge kitg IDR100K, so mls pikir byk dgn stress kastam tu plus ulat yg nk menipu tadi so kitg on je la dgn brother ni yg sgt ok & ramah. So terus check in letak beg semua then keluar jalan area Kuta plus dinner and balik hotel around 10pm. fauzi terus mandi and tidur sbb semlm dia tidur sejam je sbb last min packing, so i mcm rase awl lagi so terus terjun dlm swimming pool dlm 15min mcm tu then mandi and tengok TV sambil pikir travel utk esok.

Second day morning, i wake up quite early dalam 5pagi tengok tv, solat then kejutkan Fauzi cakap nak g x morning walk & cari pasar pagi. Then he say ok, terus bangun bersiap, lucky xbising :)
We all berjalan ke pasar pagi sambil minum cendol bali and sempat beli sambal sbb kawan kirim. Then we all return back to Hotel and melantak makan banyak2x. After breakfast rest jap then start parking for checkout.

We all berjalan dari Alron Hotel to Samsara Inn Hotel dalam 10min,sampai sana bilik xsiap lagi so we drop our luggage there and naik Teksi ke Krishnan Store for shopping souvenir. Lepas tu, balik hotel bilik pun dah siap. Tunggu Supir Zaini datang pukul 3pm and bawak kitg g Muzium 3D, bagi yg suka bergambar tu muzium ni sangat recommended k. We all bergambar sampai penat + abis batery haha So tlg charge phone penuh2x and bwk power bank. Lepas tu kitg ke Uluwatu, tempatnye agak jauh sampai tertidur gak la dalam kereta.

Uluwatu Temple sgt cantik, nice view tepi tebing tinggi tu tapi problem is we all sampai lebih kurang jam 6 so rushing nak g tengok kecek dance so xsempat bergambar. Rugi betul, so korang datang awal ye. Tapi seriously saya suke tengok kecek dance ni, sebab macam unique tapi jgn confius ye kalau perempuan yg lakonkan watak lelaki. Takut you all yg confius tapi diorg ada bagi summary penceritaan. After abis dalam sejam lebih kami balik ke Kuta and supir drop kami di Discovery Mall.

So we all pusing shopping mall tu and main game kat level atas sekali, then singgah makan masakan padang mase otw balik. Lepas tu, kitg g foot massage and balik ke hotel. Can't wait for tomorrow journey :)

For today, we all ambik je pakej 1 day dgn Owner Supir Yanto. Supir Yanto ni boss yang ada ramai supir2x lain bawah dia, lebih 20 org. Saya kenal Supir Yanto ni pun melalui reading from another bloggers ye, highly recommended. So for today xperlu risau ap2x, just naik kereta and turun setiap destinasi :) For today, Supir Hendra akan bawak kitg for today.

Barong Dance ok, but i prefer kecek dance sbb mcm unique. Batik House barang semua mcm mahal so xmampu, hanye mampu tengok. I love house painter tu, lukisan dia semua buat saya terpegun sgt2x tapi no picture allowed ye. House of gold and silver macam biase je for me so layankan aje. I suke g coffee plantation tu, pekerja sana akan terang kan pembuatan luwak coffee dari A-Z ye. Sempat jugak try secawan (IDR 50K), saya suka sgt tapi Fauzi xsuke so mcm pelik sbb dia coffee lover than me lol. Kat sana dpt complimentary drinks, so rase la semua coffee and tea ye, ada yg sedap and ada yg pelik skit.

Then we all g lunch, tempat tu sgt best sbb berdepan view Kintamani Volcano. Sambil makan sambil enjoy view and snap picture byk2x. Then, kitg g terrace rice and bergambar. Please siapkan duit kecik ye sbb byk 'tol' untuk sampai peringkat atas tu. Diorg mintak sumbangan utk jaga tempat tu, lepas tu kalau jumpa local ppl utk bgambar sama, tolg siapkan duit utk mereka ye coz nothing free klu xnak so sendiri selfie je r k. Then kitg berlepas balik,

Pak Hendra drop kitg kat Agong Bali, macam Krishnan tapi more variety pastu ada barang yg lagi murah dar Krishnan and ada yg lg mahal tapi kalu compare Krishnan and Agung Bali kitg prefer Agung Bali :) Lepas tu Pak Hendra hantar we all balik hotel, letak barang semua mandi then keluar for dinner kat Kopi Cafe. Then again we all g Foot massage for 1 hour then balik Hotel.
