Welcome back travellers!!!
Lets continue on our journey in Bali.
Second day at Bali
Water Rafting at Telaja Waja
On our second day, we decided to go Water Rafting at Telaja Waja. The place where this is done is quite far from the areas where most of the hotels are. In fact most of the tourist places in Bali are quite far from the hotel areas and need around2-3 hrs of travel one-way.
As Bali is quite cheap, 1 INR = 120 Indonesian Rupiah approx at this time, we used to book taxis for
the whole day(8hrs) at around 450,000 Indonesian Rupiah. We will give more info on this at the end of our series of post.
Water rafting packages are also offered for Ayung River, but Telaja Waja is more popular and it is about 2 hrs of fun-filled rafting. So, if you love rafting, this should be one on the list when you plan to visit Bali.
The evening was mostly spent playing at the beach. For those who like seafood, a seafood dinner at Jimabaran is quite popular and can be a good option.
Third day at Bali -
Kintamani Volacano, Mt Batur, Batur lake
On our third day, the plan was to visit Kintamani Volacano. It is an active volcano, and tourists hike across the Mount Batur, starting at 4 am to reach the top to see the sunrise. But we are not one of the early risers and at the same time wanted to hike, so we actually started the hike at 12 noon. It takes around 2 hrs to reach the top. There are around 2000 tourists in the morning but when we went there we were the only ones. There were some we met on our way down , who were climbing to camp at night at the top.
Below is a picture of the Kintamani Volcano from a distant view point.
Up and close to the crater.
Tired as we were after the hike, we decided to eat in this beautiful floating lake restaurant. (Mt. batur lake)
And the best food that you can have is obviously Fish, Fish and more Fish!!!
On our way back, we stopped for the famous Bali coffee tasting. They explain you how Luwak coffee is made(Luwak is an animal). The story is quite interesting. But we are not spoiling the fun by telling it here :-)
Lets explore some more in our next post.
Till then, Keep travelling!!!
