As you have known, I have been planning to go to Bali from a couple of weeks ago. And I'm happy to tell you that I reached my destination safely (despite the flight delays from Jakarta and my misplacement of luggage in Bali).
On my first day right after I have reached Bali, we went to Ubud and visited the Sacred Monkey Forest. It is one of the famous tourist site here in Bali, and there are lots of monkeys roaming about there. They would just sit in the middle of the pavement, or sit on the side trying to eat whatever they think is edible. I even saw a couple of monkeys grinding stones on the ground (I have no idea what they were trying to do), but what amazes me the most is how I can see the level of intelligence in those creatures. Okay, and then I saw some nursing moms carrying their baby. It was ADORABLE!
But the winner of all the monkey I saw in the forest? Goes to the sleeping monkey! =)) I spotted a monkey sleeping in the middle of the pavement while sitting down and it wasn't even disturbed by all the tourists taking photographs of it, and by the way those monkeys are used to human presence in the forest so they are not afraid of making direct contact.
You could buy bananas with the local guide to feed to the monkeys and they would gladly take it from you, just make sure you're ready to snap some quick pics because they sure move fast.
And afterwards we went to look for some food and decided to go to Restoran Pulau Kelapa at Ubud, because not many restaurants are still open considering there was a local festival around here that day. I'm not really sure what it was though..
So I ordered Nasi Semur Sapi and Iced Lime Tea (too damn sour I had to ask for extra sugar). It was okay.. Nothing much happened afterwards, I was too tired that I feel asleep somewhere in the journey back to my sister's place.
Later that night we bought Nasi Jinggo which costs Rp 3.000,- per pack somewhere nearby, again it was so-so. But it's just something to fill me up to the night. Later again (around 10pm), we went to a hypermarket or something (not sure what to call it) called Pepito to get some bacon for breakfast in the morning. They really have a big variety of things there, lots of stuff I can't find in normal supermarkets. They even supply vanilla seeds.
So me and my sister spent the night watching Batsu Game - Airport (2012) laughing til we can't stand it. It's my favorite show! I can't stop laughing at everything, and I'm really looking forward for their show next year.
That is my summary of Day One in Bali.
