Our first stop is a batik factory where they hand-painted all their batik. Gonggong bought a nice batik shirt here.
On our way to the volcanoes, we past by many artefacts shops and rice paddy fields.
Bali has 2 active volcanoes - Gunung Agung and Gunung Batur. The highest point is Mount Agung at 3,142m high, an active volcano that last erupted in March 1963. Mountains cover centre to the eastern side, with Mount Agung as the easternmost peak. Mount Batur (1,717 m) is also still active; an eruption 30,000 years ago was one of the largest known volcanic events on Earth.
We stopped by for a simple buffet lunch overlooking the volcanoes as well as Lake Batur. The weather is very cool and cloudy, as rain was deemed to pour down soon. The cloudy, misty weather added a romantic feel to our lunch.
Saying bye bye to the volcanoes, we travelled to the famous culture centre of Bali - Ubud. There, the group visited the Ubud Palace where the Sultan used to live.
Leaving Ubud, on our way back to Seminyak where we stayed, we visited a temple.
Opps, no... 2 temples... this one is very gorgeous as it is situated by the sea.
When we reached back to our villa in Seminyak, it was raining. Initially, we had wanted to go to Made's Warung for our reunion dinner since it's Chinese New Year's Eve. But because of the weather, we decided to dine in our own villa.
Mommy and Daddy went out to order take-out from Made's Warung - supposedly a famous and must-try restaurant in Bali and highly recommended by our driver uncle.
