Maybe one day I will rest for a year just to catch up on all these travel posts. :p But that’s impossible hahaha! Simon complained that he got so many photos to edit and I just kept adding new trips. hehehe.

So welcome to our July 2016 Bali 4D3N trip Day 3! We went to the zoo for a short while to feed elephants. Just to gain experience you know. Then check out volcano mountain, Mount Batur – to recce the area first before we do the actual trekking next time (probably). Next we went to Tegallalang to see the amazing rice fields and finally Tegenungan waterfall WHERE it’s the perfect place to do a CLIFF JUMP! I didn’t because I was scared. Obviously. 

So this post I will cover Bali Zoo and the amazing Mount Batur and Lake Batur!

Us with parrots.

and followed by feeding elephants! 

I was so so so so so so scared. I remembered riding an elephant when I was younger. Back then the elephant pooped so I didn’t have a really nice experience but feeding elephants is a completely different story.

Achmed asked if we want to try feeding the elephants and I thought we should try something different. Visiting Bali itself is already different from our usual travel destinations so I don’t see why we shouldn’t try something new. 😛

We pay 60,000 Baht (~$6) for the basket of fruits. Didn’t pay entrance fees because Achmed’s friend worked there last time. :p

The entrance fee for Zoo is quite expensive! It’s about $32~ man.

ELEPHANTS!!!

Not very excited honestly because elephants are HUGE.

As usual I asked Simon to feed the elephants first because I am really scared. hahaha. The elephant trunk itself can already lift me up okay, I’m not kidding.

Look at Simon’s face HAHAHA.

It’s my turn and…

Moist moist one the nostrils LOL!

Along the way the elephants became a little aggressive, I suspect it’s because we feed too slow. lol!

Too scared already I decided to walk away.

There are still fruits though so Simon bring me back to them again.

Then I don’t really remember what happened here but I think the elephant snatched the whole basket!?

and the story continues…

Then suddenly simon sayang the elephant? LOL!

The elephant is fierce! I find them very sad because these guys riding on them usually hold a hammer or some tool to hit them if they turned aggressive. :/ (If I never see wrongly)

Then Achmed asked us to take a photo with the elephant. :O

Super weird pose because the elephant can’t keep still.

Damn scary.

Look at my sian face.

Both of us run away quickly. There was this instance where the elephant trunk actually wrapped around Achmed! We were so shocked!! Luckily the elephant let go of him man.

I think I’m not cut out for this. It’s something fun but no next time LOL!

After Zoo, it’s time for lunch and to check out Mount Batur and Batur Lake!

I kinda wish I was there to hike. But I’m only there to look at it.

I think it will be awesome to stand over there instead of here.

Another get fat day again. Instead of hiking, we stopped at Grand Puncak Sari Restaurant for buffet lunch! The food is alright. Not so fantastic but it’s only $11 or $12 per person so I’m not complaining!

Jl. Raya Penelokan | Grand Puncak Sari 2, Kintamani 80652, Indonesia

The spread.

fruits.

Achmed managed to get us a table with wonderful view!

Right outside the restaurant is a lookout area where we can stand there and take photos of the volcano mountain.

Us and the volcano mountain!

me!

two of us again. 😀

Didn’t stay here for very long because we don’t have much time left, and next we head to rice paddy field at Ubud! Will continue this in another post. 😀
