day 2 of our trip, we had a special program lined up for the husband in the morning!
we woke up very early to have our brekkie at 7.30am for a driver was coming to pick us up at 8am sharp!
our room is on the 2nd floor.
lush surroundings in our resort
brekkie selection is good and the boys enjoyed them very much
we were heading out for our buggy ride excursion!
it was a good 45mins into the heart of ubud to the adventure site. @_@
over there, we were given a briefing and asked to practice 4-5 rounds around the compound before we were good to set off for the adventure!
I guess I have underestimated the whole thing.
the actual journey was much tougher than the training loops!
the terrain was much more uneven with up to 45 degree up and down slopes!
and bends which you can veer off course and fell down the slopes.
very dangerous if you ask me. :(
oh, and so so so dusty and muddy! argh! we were covered from head to toes in a thick layer of dust at the end of it all....
buggy-riding
we already chose the safer choice of vehicles - buggy instead of the ATV (the red vehicle in the top picture) which operates very much like a bike.
imagine me fumbling over the gears while flying down a slope with YR hanging on behind me with NO straps!
impossible!
the only redemption of the whole excursion is the scenery along the way and we got to see local villages and farm animals up close.
ok, for the husband and the elder boy, they found the high speed adrenaline-pumping. @_@
lush green scenery along the way!
after an early lunch, we were back at our resort to bath and rest abit before venturing out to kuta in the afternoon.
the traffic to kuta was atrocious and it took us almost 1.5hrs to reach. @_@
personally, I don't find kuta attractive at all.
too many cheap knock-offs, too many rowdy tourists with beer bottles in their hands around, dirty beach and all.....
still, the sunset is indeed more gorgeous here.
crowded, less than desirable dirty beach...
the nice sunset
we found a shopping mall at kuta that must definitely be opened by a Singaporean!imagine seeing pepper lunch, fish & co, blackball etc in the shopping mall....
dinner was at this KORI restaurant which serves value for money food in a nice setting.
the garlic bread here is totally yummy!
my barramundi is a tad dry though.
by the time we reached our resort and concluded this super tiring day, the boys were all ready to sleep after they bathed!
hubbi and I didn't last very long too.. we hit the sack before 11am too!
