Day 3 – 17 Nov 2010
Day 3 was a very busy day, we had a very early start as we had rented a driver and car for the day to take us to other parts of Bali. The hubby’s colleague recommended Dewa Marco to us and he was a very nice guy. The car is rather new too.
For breakfast, I had Jap! Picked at the fresh fruits, and ended up requesting for only watermelons the next day, which they very kindly accommodated – a huge bowl of watermelons.
Forgot what the hubby ordered…
We headed to Ubud first and visited the arts market. We suck at bargaining and made a really bad deal with our only buy. NO MORE shopping there for us.
Our really really SUPER DUPER bad buy.. They must have been laughing when we went off.
Then we walked off to Ibu Oka Babi Guling for the first part of our lunch..
Ate this with rice, but they didn’t have enough skin, pity.
Part 2 of our lunch… Marco drove us to Bebek Bengil.
We had Chicken Sate & Crispy Duck, and yes, you are supposed to eat it with the bones.
Busy busy day…. He drove us to Tanah Lot next.
Crossed over to the Holy Spring! Fresh water in the sea! I drank from it. You make a donation of any sum after that.
Piece of advice, don’t wear a skirt there. I struggled with my dress when the winds came in.
We went next to Uluwatu. We had to go earlier and miss the sunset as we had a dinner reservation near our villa.
Don’t stray too far off from the path!
Monkeys were sleepy at that time of the day, so we didn’t face any stealing or hear any tourists screaming.
We got back to the villa and took an hour plus to freshen up for dinner at Metis! This dinner was planned as the highlight of our trip and it didn’t disappoint!
We loved all the courses, especially the Legendary Foie Gras.
Scallops in sea urchin sauce
Soups – Mushroom & French Onion
Main course – steak, not very wow-ed over by it. Preferred the starters.
Marco patiently waited for our meal to end before sending us back to the villa. It was long, but really fulfilling day. Love Metis, just not the prices. hahaha.
