Lovina Beach
05 November, 2008
Lovina beach! ..... first impression is far from Kuta. Yeah ....But this time we have to go to. Our friend (Hery & Lia) is celebrating their married at a cafe on the beach.
We (I & my family and Agung & his family) went in one car. We left Kuta at 09:00 WITA, firstly drove to Bedugul to take some pictures for our book: Jalan-Jalan Bali (party and working at once! ha ha.
Lake Beratan is located at Bedugul, Tabanan regency. There were water sport activities and fun such as parasailing, jet ski, fishing, tour on boat and banana boat on the lake. If anyone interested to do one or all of these activities, make yourself ready with a spare of clothes, towel to dry your body due to the temperature is between 15 - 19 degrees Celsius.
We then moved to Botanical Garden named "Eka Karya". There are many kind of old plants and old trees. We drove the car inside the Garden and looked around. It will take approx 45 minutes just to drive and see around.
We needed pictures of Pura Ulun Danu, therefore we had to be in hurry as the time to attend the party was running out.
I drove out heading to Singaraja, only Agung jump over to take the picture of Pura Ulun Danu. He made it quick, then it was time to drive to Lovina beach. It was an interesting journey because the view and situation was beautiful.
Around one hour driving we arrived at Lovina beach. This beach is popular with dolphin. Its pity that we were not on the right time to see any dolphins on the beach. The best time to see and touch them is between 06:00 - 07:00 WITA.
The party was warm and great with many friends around us. I've met Alit Widusaka, my old friend, whom we were together for poem forum in couple years ago.
At 16:30 we were heading to Pura Beji, located at Sangsit, about 15 minutes from Lovina. It is a very specific temple.
Finished at the temple at 17:30, we were heading back to Kuta. Gone home. But we stopped over at Candi Kuning market. I bought kg of fresh strawberry. Both of my sons love it. I bought some vegetables too. You must be good in bargaining to get cheapest price.
At 20:30 we got home. Tired but enjoyed it very much.
