Bali Day 2

We woke up looking forward to a wonderful breakfast on the second day of our Bali journey

We opted for the traditional village breakfast in order to experience the Balinese way of life.

And out came the lions, just in time to join us for breakfast. I didn't know that lions knew how to use the tree trunk as a tool to scratch an itch. I had always thought they would use their hind legs like a dog or a cat would. Interesting... ...

I think the lioness must be thinking how Blamer taste like... ...

Wa this lion looked like it was deep in thought. The thinking lion... ...

But we didn't get to enjoy our breakfast in the restaurant. Instead, we packed it so that we can catch the free ferry to ... ...

Seminyak Beach. Wow, really clear, blue waters.

This Gado Gado seller was taking shelter at our pavilion, but we don't really feel safe to buy any from him.

A full to the brim boat. Isn't this a bit dangerous?

Practicing my photography... Not bad right? Really love their beaches, too bad we didn't bring our swim wear along.

Next up, we went to Sukawati Market. Blamer really showed me what is bargaining when she bought the bag that I'm holding up at a price I once thought impossible.

We came across some roadside stall and some school children were crowding round the uncle buying snacks. Reminded us of the good old days when we were still students.

So much so that Blamer decided to snap a pic with them. Look at how they crowded around her, nearly pushed her out of the frame. Ha ha.

Along the way, we chanced upon this mobile bread shop. Really unique dun you think?

I always think that in order to really experience the local culture, we should eat the local food --- local style. This stall looks safer than the Gado Gado seller for at least, he cooks his food over a fire, no germs or bacteria could have survived.

Fried mee goreng from the roadside stall. Really tasty, it's full of flavour especially the burnt taste from stir frying under extreme high heat aka wok-breath. Yummi-li-cious!!!

After lunch we headed back to our tree house and was pleasantly surprised by the decoration hanging outside our house.

There was also another round of fresh flowers on the bed

After we refreshed ourselves, it's time to head out for our safari experience.

A great big elephant guards the entrance to the safari.

Visit to the white tigers. The chart showing us why some tigers are born white.

A really hot day, I agree...

Is it me or does animals in captivity tend to be a bit more lazy???

I guess the pictures speak for themselves... ...

I wonder how the goats got up there?

The sun bear sticking its tongue out.

This is a classic shot of an owl in a tree hole.

The crocodile we saw when we first arrived.

A gigantic rhino. Whew, it's almost as big as a car. I would definitely be a goner if I were ever ran over by a rhino this size! According the guide, rhinos are supposed to be solitary, hence only one here.

Had the chance to touch a baby lion. This attraction used to host a baby white tiger, however, it got too big to be considered safe for human interaction.

One of my favourite activities. Feeding the elephants!

The elephant thought Blamer was hiding the remaining bananas in her bag!

Blamer particularly liked to feed the baby. The keeper told us to peel off the skin because the baby is still too young to digest the banana skin.

This marked the end of our safari trip. Although we took loads of videos of the animals, they were too large for me to load onto the blog.

After a tiring afternoon, it's back to our tree house for some room service. Strangely their food tasted better than when we had them at the restaurant. Double standards??

We can't be the only ones eating, come and get it animals!!!

Our commentary spa included in the overall package. Too bad the tub wasn't a jacuzzi.
After a rejuvenating massage, it's time for dinner! Notice it was the same table where we had our breakfast. I had specially arranged this set up such that I can executed my master plan! Mu ha ha ha!

My props for my master plan, now safely in the bedroom. Dent Dent ran out of battery at the restaurant. I just managed to record down a video of what happened but again the file was too large to be loaded.
The kind people of the resort once again decorated our room with fresh flowers. Really thoughtful of them!

And here is Blamer with her specially imported flowers from Jarkata and a new status : )
