South Bali

Traipsing around South Bali.
Saturday, 9th June, 10.25 p.m.

• Met up with Maman.
• Keramik Jenggala – Paint-A-Pot: won praises from the staff but didn’t think much of it myself.
• Toured the factory – materials from Australia but exported around the world; apparently not Singapore.
• Tanjung Benoa to Pulau Penu (SGD90 for ferry; rubbish). Penu means turtles, but the ones there are captive, along with the other animals on the island’s ‘zoo’. Point: DON”T GO THERE!!
  
• Babi Guling lunch.
• Tanah Lot – Hindu Water Temple. Main shrine with holy spring accessible by a neck of sand bank during low tide. Entrance, as usual, requires fee. Go in with a local and pretend to be one as well.

• Went back to Kuta and grabbed my HRC tourist bear.
• Checked out SPA – Bali Ratu; expensive but quality treatment.
• Shopping at Centro (nothing much). Lots of imitation designer stuff. Don’t even bother.
• Local dinner at Bu Tinuk, nasi percel, recommended by Maman. Javanese style pick-and-mix meal (i.e. nasi campur; chap chai peng).
