The good thing of being impulsive
is you wouldn’t know what other surprise that you made in your live at the
short time. This is happens to me. Still during the business trip period I made
one minute decision that will give me so much fun later. It begins when I was on
business trip in Jember. I got one week to finish my work, luckily I finished
it about 3 days so I got 4 days free until another Monday. Then I made a plan
to travel for the rest four day. Bali, it is my destination at that time. It
just comes up my mind after my friend who’s also on business trip in Bali asked
me to come. Then, I asked my client to get me the bus ticket to Bali.
I got the bus ticket at 7pm, it
cost me Rp. 170.000,- include 1 portion meal for dinner, quite cheap. Actually I
was little bit scare, because I travel alone at the night using bus, and the
time estimation is about 8-9 hours. It will be a long time trip. At 7 pm pick
me up to hotel. From Jember to Bali the route is through Banyuwangi, it is
about 4 hours from Jember. Arrived at
Pelabuhan Ketapang about 12 pm. Then we used Feri to Pelabuhan Gilimanuk (Bali),
it is about one hour sail but i still had long way to go from Gilimanuk to
Denpasar. About 5am (Bali Time) I arrived in Denpasar. After short nap at hotel
then me and 4 of my friend (Xenia, Dekil, Bg Dona and Kak Ana) start the
journey from the morning.
Monkey Forest, Ubud
The first destination is Monkey
forest in Ubud or famous as Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, about 1 half hour
from denpasar. As we know that Bali is one of beautiful place that full of art
and cultural site. Monkey forest is one of the sacred places in Ubud. This place
has a good tempered. I got interest on the history behind this place.
Initially, this place was not open to public for the sacred reason. Bali people
thought the presence of tourist will disturb the habitat of monkey. For the
consideration of cultural tourism then this place was open to public at 1990.
There are 3 temples located on this place. Each temple has historical meaning
for local people.
Bebek Tepi Sawah and Pasar
Sukowati
One of phenomenal culinary place
in Ubud is Bebek Tepi Sawah. This place is quite famous. The
atmosphere in this place is also recommended to enjoy the view. For the price
is not really expensive but not cheap too. I am not culinary person, yet I
enjoy the place in here for taking picture haha.
Then we are heading to Pasar Sukawati
to buy some stuff for the souvenir. Pasar Sukowati is one traditional market
that sell souvenir with really cheap price. It is good for those of you who want
to buy the souvenir for the large amount.
Sunset in Kuta
No need to explain too much word
in here. Just enjoy the view of sunset in Kuta Beach. This is one of my
favorite moment to spending the time. I called it “merekam senja”.
Taris Café in Jimbaran
To closing the day, we choose
Taris Café in Jimbaran to spending the night. 2 of my office mate (Bg Rahmat
and Nadim) from Jakarta also have business trip at that time. This place is
quite good to spending the time with the close friend. Sound of waves, wind
blows, and the laugh we shared is the best moment at that time.
Thanks to “the Auditors” for
being the crazy travel mates ever.
