Day 3 Bali Trip (Part 4)-Tanah Lot

We visit Tanah Lot (well-known for sunset) after that.

Before we explore Tanah Lot, Mr Kliman warned us not bought any souvenirs from here because those souvenirs were charged with higher prices. He furthered told us he'll took us to Agung Market in Kuta that sold the souvenirs in reasonable prices. Actually, both of us not really believed what he said based on our previous experiences dealed with him. However, we not bought any souvenirs from here too since we planned to get our souvenirs in Ubud Market.

She started to survey her favorite hand made rotten handbags. For her, prices was not so important as long as she loved it

The paintings stall owner was so cooperative in blending into my photo

Dreamcatcher （捕梦网）could be found in every corner in Bali. I knew dreamcatcher when I watched The Heirs (K-Drama), whereby Park Shin Hye gave the dreamcatcher to Lee Min Ho during her visit in United States

 

Civets or Indonesian jungle cats were sleeping in front of the coffee shop

Perfect cliff view

The view in Tanah Lot was so amazing. Although it's so crowded but never stopped me from loving it and caught it's beauty.

Day 3 Bali Trip (Part 3)-Ulu Danu Beratan Temple

We headed to Ulu Danu Beratan after visiting Luwak Coffee plantation. 

It's crowded and it's quite difficult to get the clean shoot photos. Luckily, JoJo advised me to be open minded since wherever tourist attractions in the world always flooded with tourists. What we able to do was shoot photos and left. She said try to be happy and relax. Probably she's right.

The map was also displayed next to the main gate

Obligatory tourist post

 

Super love it's serenic and peaceful view

I also love it's cooler atmosphere. 

 

Nice view

It's a perfect photo backdrop

Ulu Danu Beratan Temple was the beautiful temple that I had ever seen in this Bali trip. For me, any historical places and tourist attractions surrounded by lake and mountains were beautiful. Not only that, the gardens and temples of Ulu Danu Beratan Temple were well-maintained although it's build on hundred years ago. Hence, it's worth visit for strolling, took photos as well. It's unforgettable and now I'm quite missed it's peaceful environment and cool climate. 

Day 3 BalI Trip (Part 2)-Luwak Coffee making process

We're headed to the Luwak Coffee plantation. Once we stepped there, the staff welcomed us and directly explained everything about Luwak coffee to us.

***Visiting luwak coffee is a must since it's well-known as the most expensive coffee in the world.

 Berries of the coffee plants

 

 

Main character was here, Civets/Indonesian jungle cats

Civets/Indonesian jungle cats ate the coffee berries. As the civets cannot digest the seeds of coffee berries, they expels them with their feces. 

After that, the Luwak coffee plantation workers will collect, clean, select, washing and roasting the feces in the day because the civets were inactive (sleeping mode). It will active in the night and leave their feces.

 According to the plantation lady, this plantation 100% adopted "hand-made" produce Luwak coffee.  No machine required

Roasted beans, ground coffee, etc....

Then, we proceeded a hut in the plantation to try different tea and coffee. Luwak coffee charged IDR 50,000 but we still wanna to try it.

1) coffee ginseng 

2) lemon grass tea 

3) ginger tea

 4) coconut coffee

5)saffron tea

6) red rice tea

 7) Curcuma tea

8) Mocha coffee

I sensed that it was a tourist trap. Overall, it was the fun experience to taste all the coffees and teas at the same times although some of them were not liking my taste. We even bought Mangosteen tea and Saffron tea for Tay Pa Pa in the gift shop.
