This post concludes the end of my Bali trip posts. It was a fantastic beach break but I’m also always glad to go home. The thought of seeing my 2 dogs again and sleeping in my own bed again always makes me smile.

And as I had mentioned to a couple of you through emails and comments that I had some videos I didn’t post up of Daryl & Sushi’s wedding. I’ve decided to post them here as an encore to their beautiful wedding.

Here’s the video of their 1st dance as a married couple.

And here’s the video of the wild after party in the pool. When at least the starting… lol… cause the everyone joined in shortly after and there wasn’t anyone to take the video!!

PS: If you’re reading on FB, you won’t be able to see the videos… you need to go www.renzze.com

For more casual cheap beach wear and trinkets, Kuta & Leigan are the places to go and if you are hoping to bring home a bit of Bali with you… be it paintings or statues or jewelery and furniture, Ubud is the place to shop at.

Tea break was noodles for me. I like Mades  Warung food at Seminyak. You should give them a try if you are in the area… they are popular with both tourists and locals.

I didn’t take much of the shopping but I did take pictures at the pet clothes store when I popped in to buy some toys and outfits for my 2 dogs.

Louis and Emmie can’t follow me on my trips but  do bring them souvenirs wherever I go.

Tanah Lot in Bali has got to be the hottest tourist attraction. Almost everyone that has been to Bali has seen Tanah Lot. In fact I’ve visited Tanah Lot about 4-5 times already (you can view my last trip to Tanah Lot here)and this is considering I tend to rotate around the places I see in different trips.

In fact, on this particular trip I left out Uluwatu Temple (one of my personal faves even though the monkeys there can be scary – last trip photos here) and the Holy Monkey Forest. I also chose to leave out traditional Bali dances like the Barong dance and the Fire dance.

Lots of ducks and chickens around too!

Tanah Lot is an important sea temple in Bali and the name literally means land in the middle of the sea. During high tides, the looks like it is floating in the sea and cannot be accessed. But during low tides, you can walk to the temple to visit. When I was there this time round, the tide was still low enough for me to access the temple itself but the tide was quick rising and each wave came nearer and nearer!

There are quite a number of poisonous sea snakes in the temple which are treated as scared animals because it is said that they are there to protect the temple from evil spirits or harmful humans.

The crashing waves are quite a nice sight… too bad Tanah Lot is always crowded with tourists. Most of them come to view the glorious temple during sunset where it looks the prettiest. You can also head into the temple for some blessings and holy water if you so wish.

For some strange reason that day, while I was getting my photos snapped with my trusty little pocket camera, I had a lot of requests from the locals for pictures with them. I had no idea why they all wanted to take a photo with me but they seem so happy I didn’t know how to say no to them. In fact when they first approached me with the cameras I thought they wanted me to help them take a picture of them!

It started with one family and soon more people started queuing to ask me for pictures…. whipping out their cameras and cell phones. It was just so weird… girls, guys, young ones, older ones… and they were all so thankful and sweet, saying nice things about me. I wonder if it was a case of mistaken identity followed by the ‘monkey see monkey do’ phenomenal.

It was a little like a prize giving ceremony… photos followed by handshakes and thank yous.

Gosh… it was a little embarrassing with more and more people looking so I made a quick break once I got the chance! It’ll be nice to find out that they were just blog readers of renzze.com and spotted me in Bali… but I really don’t think so.

A last parting shot with a chicken before I scooted out of Tanah Lot!

Here’s the video.

Remember for those on FB… you can only view my videos at www.renzze.com

A short post…

Morning fruit juices keep me going… I miss the days where I can wake up to order a fruit juice served right after a morning massage. Anyways I’ll be meeting Melva later for some therapy session so I’ll feel more rejuvenated!

I’ll blog more about Bali soon I promise… but here’s leaving you with Babi Gulling. It’s a traditional Bali dish of suckling pig with lots of spices! If you can take spice then this is a must-try!

Do try this when you are in Bali. I even have a video of how it’s done!

PS – for those viewing on FB… you need to go to www.renzze.com to see the video.

I also did a lot of massages while I was in Bali. It was good and I needed the tension released after all my activities!

If you want a good, clean decent frills free massage and don’t really care for ambiance. Then try Inner Glow at Padama Utara st. Ruko Padama Utara No. 15 Legian. It’s near the Bali Niksoma Hotel in Legian. An hour massage is about RP75,000 and their Balinese massage or Lomi Lomi massage is pretty good. You can call (0361)761098 or +62 81 23761977 … I think they’ll provide 2 way transport for additional charges.

If you want something with better ambiance and a more romantic atmosphere then you may want to consider having your massage done in your hotel. Of course it’s usually twice the price.

After one of my massage sessions I had dinner nearby at a Mexican restaurant. I look kinda disheveled here cause all I wanted was to eat and go back to the hotel to bathe and sleep after my massage.

Food here is not bad. But I’m generally not a fan of Mexican food.
