Day 4 in Bali (7/12/2008 - Rafting and Massage)
This also can be considered as good day, all of our activities were doing with sunny, only a short of period was raining, but still didn't ruin our mood.
At the morning, chefs were coming to our villa prepared breakfast for us, we placed our order at the day before, it was American breakfast as Anan told us that we better had Eastern food at last day, then it would not get hungry too early.
While we were waiting for breakfast, we just had some VIP feeling because of special service from villa, this is our first time to have personal chefs, they even would ask for our favourite. The breakfast was really delicious until I was too full to have them all.
This is a picture at the entrance of our villa.
After breakfast, we departed to South-East of Bali for our rafting session, we decided to wear the same cloth as water sport because we considered that our clothes would still get wet at last.
It was around 10:30am when we arrived to rafting location and whole rafting journey would take us around 3 hours to finish. Abu is our trainer, he is a funny and helpful person, we had a lot of fun with him along of our rafting journey.
At first, we needed to walk for 10 minutes from the centre to the rafting area, there is really beautiful. Before we could start rafting, Abu helped us to do all preparation, like choosing life jackets, putting raft onto water, keep our camera in his waterproof bag and so on.
Finally, we got onto the raft and Abu still needed teach us some basic rafting communication, so that we could understand his signal and avoid dangerous happened. Actually, there were five basic skills that we needed to know - forward, backward, stop, hold, sit down and sit back.
Rafting really is an exciting activity and I was really enjoyed with it, also Abu always playing with us, therefore we didn't feel too stress for whole the journey. After we completed the rafting route, we needed to wait for a trunk to pick up us back to the centre, it was tired and fun, I would try this again if I have choice.
This is our trainer, his name is Abu, he is quite funny and helpful.
After back to centre, we changed our wet clothes as we got wet for whole body. Then, there was a rafting buffet at their cafeteria, it was normal meal.
After lunch, Anan fetched us back to villa to take our photos copy from the Balinese wedding custome, as we should get a 10 inches picture as stated in tour package but we missed it, therefore Anan would help us to develop it.
Later, we went to Kuta, Anan brought us to Legion Street and the monument, which to memorise all victims at the first bomb case, all of their name are written on the monument, it is 200 plus in total. Anan also told us about the situation during first bomb case happened, it was near to monument location, it was really a tragedy.
Then, we went to Discovery Mall for a look, it is a shopping mall, but actually wasn't too big and not too special for us. Therefore, we didn't shop anything but two piece of postcards.
Something special for this shopping mall is it is just beside Kuta Beach with long coast, so that we could see beautiful scenery of the beach. However, it was too hot at the day, so we decided not to walk along the beach.
We walked in Discovery Mall until 4pm, because we had a massage appointment, it was herb and ear massage for two hours. Our massage location is Wisata Spa, it gave us clean and relax feeling.
At first, the girls helped us massaged our body, it was quite similar with the day before, but they used herd at here. They packed some herds inside the cloth and used it massaged our body, this is quite special.
However, the most special part was ear massage, they used a lighted candle and placed it out of our ear, then they massaged around our ear area. At the middle, I could feel that my nose could breath smoother and more comfortable. After the candle finished, the girls took the paper (which was used to hold the candle) from our ear and opened it for us, we could see there were a lot of ear wastes on the paper. Well... This is really a lot, I don't think you can imagine it, it is not the normal quantity that we can get for our ear at normal cleaning.
After seeing those ear wastes, I found it was amazing, this really is a special method to clean our ear, no pain and no hurt, I think it is extremely clean.
Our herb and ear massage was done at 6:30pm, and we went forward for our dinner, it was Chinese Sharing menu. However, dishes in restaurant was too oily and spicy, I didn't like it, meanwhile I had no appetite to finish it. But SL always likes angry on me about this, I was really sad with this :(
After dinner, we backed to villa and it was raining, this is our first rain for these four days, I think we were quite lucky because this is end of all activities.
After a few moment, raining was slowing down, SL started busy to setup our villa's facilities for us, like moving chair to yard and filling water for our hot spring pool, I felt quite touched to see he was doing hard for this, I could feel his love from all these actions. From this, I felt my happiness on him :)
At night, we just enjoyed with our villa's facilities, swam in our private swimming pool and relaxing in our hot spring pool.
This is really what relaxing calls, I am feeling like honeymoon and enjoy with this scenery.
This is our hot spring pool, filling by SL :)
