Chapter 419: The Loneliness of a Cigarette

So most of the hotels for the first night are of a transitional nature. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThis is located in the Kuta area, although it belongs to the economic chain hotel, did not report much expectations before check-in, but the actual arrival of the hotel or there are surprises, much larger than expected, the front desk is bright and spacious, and there is a big swimming pool!

The tour guide said that it is never uncommon for the hotel to be in the pool, haha! The room is spacious enough, clean and simple modern style, the bed is soft and hard, and the breakfast is not small. It was perfect for a hotel with a one-night transition. Second night.

The resort is located on the beach side of Lovina, if you want to go out to sea to see dolphin snorkeling in Lovina, you must book this one! I heard the tour guide say that all boats going to sea in Lovina need to depart from the beach, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu got up in the morning and walked directly to the beach to wait for the boat to pick up. In addition, it is the first resort where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu stayed in Bali.

The garden-like environment is full of tropical plants and flowers, and when you go back to your room after breakfast, you will feel like you are visiting a park. Although the room is simpler, it is better to be clean and spacious, especially the bathroom is oversized. Given the hotel's environment, location and sandy beach, this resort is a good value for money.

On the third night, many of Bali's popular travelogues were mentioned, and many of them featured an infinity pool on the mountain. So Xueluo knows about this pool first, and then knows. So even though it's located in the mountains of central Bali and there's nothing to do nearby, it still attracts many loyal fans.

And the interior is beautiful, and it really set off the first climax of Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu's trip to Bali. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are a group of 4 people, and they are booked with two bedrooms, which is very private and the passage to them is also private. The room is a strong tropical style, romantic and careful, with flowers everywhere, perfect for honeymoon.

The big living room and infinity pool are also exclusive, if you think that there are always people taking pictures in the pool outside, then go back to the room to take pictures, it is just a loss than the large pool outside. The restaurant's breakfast and dinner, including afternoon tea, are also very delicious, and there are many kinds of food, although it is in the middle of nowhere, it is definitely not a problem to eat.

Time permitting, I would love to stay longer. On the fourth night, the resort (not found on the official website) is located in the heart of Ubud, the location is very good, there are many restaurants on the road where the hotel is located, and the hotel is next door, there is a large local shopping mall, all in all, very convenient. It is rare to be located in the downtown area, but the room is not noisy.

Exceptionally quiet to come back in the evening. Open the door early in the morning and walk out of the terrace to face the hotel's own green rice fields, which is very relaxing. The resort is also very orthodox Balinese style, the front desk is open, the room is also oversized, the decoration style is very special, self-contained, and there are hotel staff to introduce you to the facilities and precautions in the room when you check in.

Very attentive and attentive. Breakfast is not a buffet, is the kind of choice, the impression of their breakfast coffee is the best, ordered a latte since there is a very professional latte art, is breakfast!

It's true that when I checked in, I met a tour group from the Dragon Kingdom, but there is always a reason why it is popular with everyone. The hotel is right next to Tanah Lot, if you don't want to go to Tanah Lot crowded, you can enjoy the sunset of Tanah Lot quietly in the hotel. Another feature of the hotel is that it has its own golf course, and the green environment is definitely nothing to say.

In-house guests have itchy hands for a while, and it won't be too expensive to go down and play a few rounds. Because it is a five-star, the breakfast is from all the hotels that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have stayed in Bali, and the variety is so dazzling. When I got up for breakfast, it is estimated that the Dragon Country tour group has left the itinerary, and the restaurant is full of foreigners, so I don't have to worry about noise or anything.

Although the facilities of the room are slightly old, the hotel is very careful in maintenance. The layout of the room is very, very similar to the Langting where I lived before, but this is more American style. I was more helpless to check out at 9 o'clock the next day to go rafting, did not take a good look at the commendable public areas of the hotel, and missed a lot of its beauty.

6th & 7th Night Resort:: Very, very new, just opened in July this year, and I can't find any reviews on the Internet, so I have doubts in my heart before I go, because the photos are so beautiful, so I really want to know if the real thing is really that beautiful. Later, I was completely relieved that the hotel was a small and low-key resort.

Also located on the hill. Secluded, all rooms are villas, all with their own pools, privacy is very good, and there are three-bedroom pools that are perfect for the whole family to come on vacation or open. And because the hotel has just opened and is still in the promotion period, the occupancy rate is not high, so no matter whether you are shopping around the hotel to take pictures, or going to the restaurant to eat, no one will affect you.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu booked the honeymoon suite has a 300-square-meter appearance, living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, outdoor ring pool, loungers, and even Bali's most characteristic daze pavilion!

The hotel has its own glass-roofed chapel, which, combined with the privacy of the hotel, is perfect for small weddings. The resort is also only a 15-minute drive from Jimbaran Beach, and the price of the landing visa has increased to $35 per person. Flight attendants will issue immigration cards and customs declaration cards on board.

Both of these things are very important! Everyone needs to fill out the immigration card, and if you are traveling with a group of people, you only need to fill out one copy of the customs declaration card. When entering the country, each person needs to hand in the arrival card and 35 US dollars, and the staff collects the money and gives the visa directly without asking any questions. The exit card needs to be handed in on the return trip.

Be sure to keep it safe! Otherwise, it will be very troublesome! You can enter the customs smoothly with your passport and the landing visa you just bought. There is indeed a phenomenon of customs officers extorting tips in Bali (and this phenomenon is very common), some people have specially learned Chinese for the convenience of extorting bamboo and money, please ignore this, they will definitely not take you if they don't tip.

Even if it is a white passport, as long as the formalities are complete, they can definitely enter the customs, and giving it will only fuel their greedy and arrogant arrogance. Many tour guides will call on the aunts in the group to stuff a dollar or 10 yuan in their passports on the plane, so that the tour group can enter customs quickly.

These customs officers are spoiled by the tour groups of the Dragon Kingdom, because they never dare to extort foreigners. However, many of these staff members were sent from Jakarta, Indonesia, so don't let them lower their impression of Bali, the locals on Bali are still very friendly and rustic. When leaving the country, you need to prepare a departure tax of 200,000.

You have to pay cash, so don't use up all the rupees before you go. When exiting the customs, please separate the exit card and passport to the staff, and it is best not to clip it in the passport, so as not to let the staff play with the cat and say that they only got the passport and did not find the exit card, and there is a chance to extort tips. Bali is located at the equator and has a typical tropical rainforest climate.

The average temperature throughout the year is 28°C, which is divided into a dry season and a rainy season. The dry season is from April to September, and the rainfall is relatively small, but April is the first month after the rainy season ends, and it can be very hot, so it is not recommended to visit Bali in April. May 59 is the best month of the year in Bali, when the weather gets cooler and the rain is minimal.

Best for travel. It's just that July and August coincide with the summer vacation, and there are many people, and the price will not be too cheap. October to March is the rainy season, although Xueluo and Liu Jingshu encountered the rainy season of the island on this trip, but Bali is also very cute in the rainy season, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu stayed for 8 days encountered a rain, or on the road when it fell.

It didn't take more than 10 minutes for the whole journey to turn clear. The rest of the time the weather is very good, although the sun is very dry, but the wind blows to the body is cold, especially in the central and northern plateau areas are still very cold in the morning and evening, you need clothes that can keep you warm. Most of Indonesia is Muslim, with the exception of Bali, where the majority of its inhabitants are Hindus.

About 95% of the people in Bali believe in Agama Hinduism, they believe that there are gods in everything, such as the sun god, the moon god, the mountain god, the road god, the lake god, the monkey god, the turtle god, etc., the gods are everywhere and all the time, so Bali is known as the "fairy island". The rest are mostly Muslim, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant. in Bali.

People of different religions can live together peacefully. Bali is an island with a particularly strong religious influence, and the density of temples even exceeds that of Chiang Mai, but Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, who do not follow Hinduism, cannot be visited. Locals worship in the morning, noon and evening, so offerings can be seen everywhere on the corner of the road. The first day of each month.

There will be large-scale sacrificial activities on the fifteenth, many temples will be closed around the road, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu met the fifteenth sacrifice in Ubud, the locals have put on gorgeous national costumes, go to the temple to worship, the road can be seen everywhere the grand sacrificial procession, outsiders seem to have very local characteristics. Of course, the impact is a large traffic jam in the city.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu hurriedly changed their trip to Ubud Palace on the fifteenth. 1. When walking, pay attention to the sacrificial items on the road, if you accidentally step on it, it doesn't matter, don't step on it deliberately. Locals often place offerings at the door, and some snow falls on the streets, and things that Liu Jingshu seems to be ordinary, such as trees, are also sacrificed to the gods.

Therefore, sacrificial items are often placed on the streets. 2 Indonesians must hold out their right hand when shaking hands or receiving things, not with their left hand, and the local people use their left hand to go to the toilet, do not touch other people's heads, including children's heads, nor use fingers to people, and always keep smiling. 3. When entering the temple, you must take off your shoes and do not expose your arms and legs.

There is a salon and a belt that can be borrowed for free at the entrance of the temple, and both men and women wearing summer clothes before the knee are required to wear the salon, and even if they wear knee-length trousers and long skirts, both men and women must wear yellow belts. 4 Do not enter the interior of a Hindu temple, non-Hindus are forbidden to enter, do not be driven by curiosity, and refuse even if instigated.

5When the natives bow down and pray, do not stand before them. Wherever it is, this is at least very rude. 6And if any man, especially a priest, sits on the ground, he must not stand at his right hand. 7. When visiting a local's house, take off your shoes when you enter the room. 8. Wear floral ornaments on the head, the left side represents the unmarried, and the right side represents the married.

The currency of Bali is the rupee, but there are many places where you can use US dollars, such as convenience stores at the airport. It is said that some small shops in Ubud even accept RMB, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have not tried it, but there are too many Longguo people who go to Bali, which is also expected. When Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the rupee was almost 1:12,000.

It is recommended that you exchange US dollars in China before departure, and then exchange rupees locally. The currency of Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah, abbreviation, which comes in denominations of 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000, and the use of US dollars is also common on the island. Exchange tips: 1 Indonesian rupiah exchange rate fluctuates greatly, after arriving at the airport, take a look at the exchange rate of the day.

If you're at a higher level, you might as well switch a little more. 2. The exchange rate of the airport is generally lower than that of the urban area, so you can change a little less first, enough for a day or two. There are many shops in the city where you can exchange money, and the farther away from the center, the better the exchange rate. 3. If there is a sign on the exchange rate notice board at the street exchange point, there is no handling fee.

4. The exchange rate of large denominations is higher than that of small denominations. 5. When exchanging, count in person, and do not change hands through others. Don't be tempted by excessively high exchange rates, there will be cats in it. 6. It is best to go to the bank, supermarket, and Kodak store to exchange money. If the exchange rate is too high, there is usually a problem, so it's best not to go in the alley, and ask if there are 50,000 or 100,000 bills first.

Avoid getting a bunch of change. 7. If someone chats with you when changing money, don't be distracted, be sure to point after getting the banknotes, and check whether there are fake banknotes by the way, usually 100,000, printed a little crooked. After ordering, you can't let them handle it again, some counters have a mechanism on the table, and they will drop one when you shake it. 8. Don't exchange all dollars for local currency.

If you can't use it up, it's too troublesome to change it back. It is very convenient to exchange currency there, a hundred at a time, and how much to exchange for as much as you want. Banks on Bali will almost see one in a few steps, and it is very convenient to withdraw cash. Another functional bank card is also a must, a considerable number of shopping malls.

Merchants and restaurants can use or MasterCard to make purchases. Because they change hotels almost every day, even if Xueluo and Liu Jingshu travel together, they compress their luggage into a 28-inch suitcase, and as usual, they have a backpack for each person. There is a chartered car this time, so how to place the luggage does not need to worry about Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.

Let's talk about the must-bring: 1) Sunscreen and sunscreen repair: I bought a new Anexa, and I opened it when I arrived in Bali, and I came back after 9 days and there was a quarter left. Although the temperature in Bali is not as hot as other islands, the ultraviolet rays on the beach should not be underestimated, especially when playing water sports, the body is very easy to get sunburned and sunburned.
