Bali exploration from 14th April to 17th April 2013.

with my darl. :D

Ultimo Italian Restaurant at Seminyak.
The Cream of mushroom soup was served with chunks of mushroom chunks. Filletto Al Pepe is a dish served with salad and panna potato. Although the medium rare tenderloin was slightly towards the salty side, the tenderness of the piece and panna potato totally made up for it. The Seafood Risotto was pretty amazing. If one has prefers an oriental taste to their Italian mains, seafood risotto is the dish to order. It's like 'seafood pasta rice'. Lastly, the dessert for the night was Panna Cotta. Thick smooth 'pudding' paired with sour raspberry sauce.

Scooter rides in Bali.
We've rode the Bali roads for two days. The scooter rental costs 110K IDR for two days. We rode for a total of two days with 5 bottles of petrol that costs 27K IDR. The petrol is sufficient for trips within Seminyak, a trip to Kuta, and a trip to Sanur. The traffic conditions in Bali can be described as orderly madness. The locals seemed to ride on instincts and they are really friendly and helpful. We can't count the number of time we've asked for directions. Sometimes stopping by beside the road and approaching a shop staff, or, just by simply turning our heads to the people beside us (on scooters). They were accurate with their directions most of the time. There were two situations when the locals guided us on their bikes. The last one was particularly memorable. We didn't take Jalan sunset (a main 'highway') to reach Seminyak. Instead, we weaved on small roads. A left turn, another left turn, magic! Uma Karan was right beside us on our left.

Sunrise in Seminyak and Sanur.
We saw our first Sunrise in Bali at Seminyak. Uma Karan to be exact. As we were about to scoot off to Seminyak, we stopped by the front of the pool to take a short glance. The pool reflected the purplish pink skies on it's surface. Beautiful indeed. It's a short ride (approximately 10 minutes), from Uma Karan to Seminyak beach.

We decide to venture to Sanur next. It's the eastern part of Bali and supposedly one of the best place to watch the sunrise. Sitting at the Breakwaters at Jalan Matahari Terbit, we watched as the glow of the sun unfold.
