On our first day in Bali, we really made it as “a day tribute to Kuta”. Since we just wanted to make our trip a relaxing one, we decided to take a long sleep, woke up at almost noon, made us missed the hotel’s breakfast. Driving around and found my favourite german sausage restaurant “Mama’s” or “Mama’s Deli’ as we used to call it at Legian area to have our brunch there. I forgot what I ordered, but the meat was from the shoulders part, I regretted it since it’s a bit too salty for me, I should’ve ordered what I used to, the sausages or the crazily big and delicious pork knuckle for the both of us. Hubby ordered the breakfst menu, and I liked that one much better. I guess in the morning my taste bud becomes a little bit more sensitive than in latter time.
Finished with our brunch, we went back to the hotel and park the car there, had a little nap to let the sun come down a bit to my skins favor (don’t want to get too tanned when I go back to Jakarta). Then we walked from our hotel to the beach. Though the hotel was said to be in front of the beach, part of the hotel that’s beach front is the main gate dear that’s why it cost a little bit less than the others J But we have no regrets for that, it’s still ok for walking distance to us, around 100 m. Though I’ve come to Bali several times, I haven’t strolled the beach at day time, so it’s my first time of doing this. The first crowd we saw beside the sunbathers was the Falun Dafa followers putting on a yellow banner on the beach and doing some kind of a Yoga.
While walking on the beach we heard an announcement made that there would be baby sea turtles to be freed to the sea. I looked to my hubby and with a hintfull smile letting him know I want to do or at least see that. I thought we were too late to get the baby sea turtles, since there were lots of children there holding a bowl with a baby sea turtle in it. But then they offer to us if there would be any others, I raised my hand quickly and yeayyyy.... me got a bowl of baby sea turtle to be freed too hehehe... I got in line with the others who participate in the event and let go on our mark by the person in charge (PIC).
It was quite an experience of seeing a baby turtle trying to get back to the sea, and once we let go from the bowl we were not allowed to touch the baby turtle again as he or she has to make it on their own. Once the wave came in and touched our feet, we were not allowed to move coz the PIC screamed “Diam!!! Diam!!!Diam!!!Diam!!!Diam!!!Diam!!!” which means “Stay!!! (for 6x)” until the water go back to the sea again and repeated his screams again when the wave came in this was repeated till almost sunset.
After sunset and taking pictures we stroll the beach again till Hard Rock Hotel, and walked again trying to find “Mini’s seafood restaurant” for dinner as my hubby had a good memory for the taste and good price of it but we can’t seem to find it and once we found Discovery Mall we just decided to have our dinner there at the food court there. I can’t say the food was bad though but it’s not that good either.
Since by the time we want to go back to the hotel it started to drizzle, we decided to take a ride on the local horse carriage called “delman” in Java, the horse name was Adul it cost around 20 or 30 thousand rupiah from the mall to the gate of our hotel since he can’t get in and we ran to the hotel building.
