07_Bali_Trip_Day_01

There's around 1 year after we go for Taiwan 14 days trip.
We happened to plan for this trip due to the Air Asia 0 cost promotion fare.
We had bought our air ticket on April which is 6 months before our journey start.

After a long haul waiting and planning, the days had come.
We had ask my house mate, penguin to fetch us to LCCT airport.
We had a nice breakfast at the lcct mc's donald and start our journey to the legendary land ---> Bali.

View from the plane. We able to see dead volcano at the Bali Island already.

After get out from the airport. Our driver for the 6 days 5 nights tours has been waiting for us outside of the airport. His name was Wayan Kiong. At first the service given by him was good and we feel satisfied. However, this concept was changed after the dinner at Jimbaran seaside.
I'll talk about it in the later time.

After get onto his car, which actually quite comfortable and big, we go to our hotel for check in.
We didn't actually plan much activity on the 1st day, due to we wish to have more relaxing trip on bali this time.

Matahari Inn was a resort near the Kuta beach. However, the road to Matahari Inn is a bit small, just fit enough for 1 vehicle to pass trough. Maybe you will feel unsecure when u working along the road at night. However, with this price RP 200,000(RM100) the room consider worth.

Here is the view from our room to the main pool. Theres another swimming pool at the other side of the resort.

After we had check in all our stuff, we start searching for food.
We go to a shop near Matahari Inn, which name is Bamboo Corner.
This shop was strongly recommended by most of the friends in forum.
However, we feel a bit disappointed for the food we get from the shop. Maybe we put too high expectation on the shop.

After having fun in front of the Hardrock Cafe, we plan to go to the Matahari Square for some shopping. We found a interesting temple on the way to walk to Matahari Square. Thats what balinese believe in Hinduism. We have a glance inside and continue our journey to Matahari Square.
