Bali - Day 1

While we were walking to the plane i saw a funky ass looking airplane and i thought i'd take a picture to show you guys what kind of a plane we were sitting in for the long journey. Well technically its not long and was more like relatively short.

And when we arrived at the airport we were greeted by our tour guide and then the locals gave us one of those flowery thingies you put around your neck smelling all...flowery. Which obviously made the whole bus smell fragrant in some ways.

When we got there we didn't even have time to check into our hotels, and the tour began right away. Considering that we arrived there in the afternoon and that we haven't had lunch our first stop was to a restaurant, unfortunately since i haven't gone and take the rest of the pictures from my other colleagues i would just have to settle with showing you what i took which is just a plaque of the restaurant...not too bad actually, the food that is.

After we had our stomachs filled, we still have time to go back to the hotel to chill or anything like that. So we proceeded to our next tour destination which is Tanah Lot. Its actually a site of a temple, i thought it was pretty cool though and apparently during the high tide you can actually see the temple floating on water...Well at least thats what the tour guide said. In reality though the temple rests over a a small piece of land where the surroundings have since eroded leaving just that small piece of land where the temple sits on, so obviously during high tide the temple is gonna look like its floating. Well we didn't stay around long enough to wait for that...so no floating temple pics.

Well apparently from here you can actually have a very good view of the sunset, and so we waited and lepaked and chilled and what not all for the sake of a sun disappearing before our very eyes. Hell we were so free that we even watched a whole bunch of crabs try to catch fish...now that was really long. Of course we didn't see that happen thanks to all the cheering of nature getting violent, so i guess the fishes got scared and just remained in hiding....sorry crab you're gonna have to wait a little longer. Finally when the time came there was no sunset...thanks to cloudy weather.

By the time we were done with Tanah Lot, it was time for dinner and so we went to this place (i can't remember what it was called) and we lou sang!!! hahaha...so that makes it two times this. After which the dishes came and i showed them the powah of my devouring mode...erm, well you'd probably not know what that is, but you gotta see me eat dinner when i'm hungry to understand....hehehe.


And then FINALLY we got to go back to the hotel at i think was 10pm or somewhere around that time. So it was tiring as hell and after all that walking and sweating i felt like crap and i really needed a nice hot or cold (i couldn't really give a damn) shower. We were so tired that we didn't even bother to go out, actually partly due to the rain as well. So some of them not so tired people came to our room to gamble. Yeah and they were so loud that the reception called because some people were not too happy with the noise coming from the room. Actually they were so loud that i had to jack the volume on the TV and when they left the TV was blasting. So thats it for day 1 of Bali.
