Bali 2007 Day 3 - Uluwatu to Sanur

 

i'm not sure why but people do get hungry after such a long rest. Anybody got an analogy on this phenomena? Furthermore, nowadays people eat accompanied by some eyecandy entertainment at the side..as proven by those six guilty above who determined to fill their stomach with all sorts of caffeine, cholestrol, oil and sugar while watching nonsense indon tv morning program.

immediately after breakfast we check out the nearby Padang-Padang Beach...so eager to hit it yesterday but no time..the ocean is just in front of our place but you have to step down a cliff (joker here will direct you) 

stepped down and walla..seriously magnifico..a short and secluded beach..and for all our concern a private beach for us..for a day at least

magnetic force?

those childrens were xtremely happy... they berendam for a good 2 hours..this after-rendam picture of sedi and jos proves it

climbed back to our room to pack and continue our journey today..but wait...lets rewind  the scene an hour before breakfast.

actually i got up early today and went down the beach...as u can see the sun was not yet in its full potential...encountered a few surfers who determine to master the early morning waves...but this particular surferkid was a bit kiasu...just sit around doing nothing

 

so back to the future now, after everybody was ready to rocknroll

 destination today: Sanur

took approximately an hour drive from Padang-Padang, Uluwatu to Sanur.  Melantak lunch at one of the nasi padang restaurant along the highway.

seriously the travelling bible (refer 1st pic) gave us a lot of info on Bali inside out ..including recommended place to stay...so the winning losmen today is Yulia Homestay, located right in the center of Sanur only a five-minute walk to the beach. All rooms have terraces with furniture to sit out overlooking balinese garden

looks like the ceiling-roomkey team will make new friends with the hat-shoe duo for a nite

after a short rest, a member of the homestay staff drove us for a short sightseeing tour of the Sanur town. Then, he left us stranded at the beach

On the waterfrontOld bicycle die hardOn the waterfront too

there was a 6-sense telephatic connection among the mouth of ours..they informed us they wanted to munch something

we kill the evening by checking out the whole stretch of the beach from one end to another..Quiet and relatively laid back, Sanur has a certain flair about it that appeals to just about everyone from a typical mat sallehs to President of Mawi Fan Club.

"cari apa mas?"......."errr...saya nak tengok tengok je..."

Walked back to our place, playing a traditional game called 'lets guess which way back to the homestay"

on the way, stumbled upon this...

should i sue 'em?

Nite

after a short rest and a quick shower (no no..we do not shower together..all 6 of us are straight...or bi? not sure) the homestay staff suggested we visit this big nite market at the nearby Denpasar (Bali capital)..

so off we went...millions of  local people were  there buying all sort of stuffs.. even a concert was going on...kinda circus atmosphere there

..and seriously i started to get a headache  

we spent just a short time there..why? 1.Havoc  2.Hungry Solution? Nasi Padang

checkout the writing on the T

harharhar....laughter is the best appetizer...

after dinner we went back to Sanur and wind down at Sanur Jazz Cafe' 

the above pic shows a variety of healthy activities which can be done while waiting for the band to hit the stage

this is a jazzy place..so normally people expect some jazz/latino/fusion type of music.  but this band played the usual hey-lets-play-shitty-top-40-radio-friendly-songs. I think Feminin and 4U2C should do a reunion and save this club.

went back to our place to call it a nite.  Sorry i dont have any picture of us sleeping

end of day 3
