Bali Tour Guide

Most intersting place for them was Uluwatu temple and Waterfal in Munduk. They seemed to like the local food as well. So, they like to try the suckling pig or the Babi Guling in Ubud and Denpasar. They also like the Lombok food called Taliwang chicken which they had in Bedugul. (There are many small restaurants in Bedugul which serve Taliwang grilled chicken) We visited the strawberry farm after having luch at the Taliwang restaurant.They thought that the strawbery food was good but have to be drank at the end, after theTaliwang grilled chicken.The chicken sambal was so hot, they said. Well, I thought so too.

Ms Lau (from Singapore, with Mr. Pei and Eaton) sent me a list of itinerary that she wanted to cover during their tour. I look down at the itineray she sent and it read as follow: From Harris Kuta resort - Visit Besakih Temple - Visit Kintamani with Batur Volcano and Lake - Visit Tampak Siring/Tirta Empul Temple - Stop at Beratan Lake - Visit Tamblingan Lake - Visit Gitgit Water Fall - Lovina Beach - Visit Hot Water Banjar - Visit Tanah Lot Temple - Enjoy the sunset at Tanah Lot. Wow, that was going to be a heck of loong journey..! On the tour date at 10 AM, I was ready at hotel lobby waiting for them. Mr. Pei was a very kind and pleasant person who loves engaging in conversation. On the other hand, I don't remember what she does, but Ms. Lau seems to know much about internet business. So, I told them that the itinerary for their full day tour was usually done in a 3 day tour. I told them that it was not possible to cover all places. In Bali, due to the road condition, traffic, hil

I am not a coffee drinker, but since I went tour with my client, Karl , coffee supplier in Kuala Lumpur, then that day I had to drink about 4 to 5 cups of coffee during the day which make me a wake the next 24 hours. (by the way, this is the second part of Arabica coffee hunt in Bali .) On our last tour searching for coffee, we went to Kintamani and Menangi village. Karl, my client, was very happy there that he could taste the real Bali coffee. On this tour, we went to a different route; to Banyuatis village. Banyuatis village is a very popular village in Bali as coffee producer. On the way to Banyuatis, we stopped at Candi Kuning market. For locals, this place seems to be a must stop. We stopped for about twenty minutes there for getting fruit and snacks. In Banyuatis village, an hour later, we stopped at a restaurant called Ngiring Ngewedang. It was quite interesting that this difficult-to-pronounce-name-restaurant for westeners actually means "let's have some coffee."

Karl Priston, a coffee supplier, sent me an email and said that he needed a Bali tour guide who can assist him while travelling around Bali in search for Bali coffee. In particular, it was called Arabica coffee. He was not interested in any other type ofcoffee (Robusta coffee or any other coffee). First we went to Seribatu village and met my acquintance, Oka, to ask him about where can we get the Arabica coffee. Based on Oka's info, we headed to Mengani Village (S8°17'17.25", E115°14'58.78") , north of Kintamani Village. It was a remote village, far from any where. While observing the village, Karl asked if the people who lived around the village would enjoy spending in a place like Kuta which was totally different from this mountainous area. Maybe not. We arrived at the coffee processing place. I walked to the main building and saw a stack of wet coffee beans waiting to be peeled off. The beans go to a kind of chanel where it will then squeezed by certain kind of

Thank you to Isis, Faye, Kalu (house wife) and Yenting from Malaysia. These ladies are very kind and keep calling me Mr. Pudhu instead of just Putu. Most of the time I can not follow their conversation because they spoke Mandarin (especially Faye). They also taught me a few mandarin and Hokkien. For example, chii sao may (pig smell) kafe (coffee), taa (tea) suwey (water) and lu chu (piglet). Once Faye said that Bali is a "beyootayfoo" island which according to her it is just simply means Bali is a beautiful island. It is hard to believe this because they laughed secretly behind me. Isis said to me "remember to say Bali is a "beyootayfoo" island to your other Malaysian client." ( I will discuss about this word meaning later) Tour with these ladies were very exciting. When we arrived at Kintamani and was about to check in the hotel they booked from the Internet, the reception said there was no vacant room. But they insisted that they have paid and booked a

Meet a friend of mine, Gobang, a fisherman in Lovina beach. He would be happy to take you to "hunt" for dolphins around the sea near Lovina. The dolphins can be seen mostly in the morning. You need to start early to catch them jumping and flying in the air. Meet Gobang at the "Dolphin Statue" in front of the beach, and he would walk you to the beach to his boat. Hop in to his boat, and sit down while he starts his boat's engine. And off you go. And so you will voyage around the sea with Gobang. He will show you where the dolpins are. Just look around, the dolphins can appear at any time. Sometimes you can see them at the distance, but sometimes they jump up by the boat. If you bring a camera, you need to switch on so it will be ready to take photos of these beautiful creature. They are very fast for amateur photographer, so get your camera ready all the time. Especially when the dolphins are on sight. Final words, you can contact Gobang at +62 81 353 220 202.I c
