After bidding Mount Batur and Hotel Surya goodbye, we then headed to Ubud. Another amazing town that anyone who drops by in Bali should visit. Spending a night here is definitely recommended. Everything is away from the hustling and bustling of town life like Kuta beach. On the way to Ubud we did make some detours and the first stop was lunch. Gahhhhh just realized the photo colours are off. So much for batch editing -_-! The best part of our lunch was that it was buffet style. So we kept eating until the locals gave a weird look LOL. They had this crazy spicy sate that i kept taking but once the fella preparing gave me a stare, i stopped. Hahaha. We were just spoilt we the amount of food. The building that we were at is built right at the edge. Check out the unfinished metal pieces sticking out. After lunch we drove to a nearby coffee farm where we were introduced to the animal that is incharge of making the most expensive coffee in the world.

Backpacking to Philippines #php10
It was during last year’s Zero Fare when we bought our tickets for Philippines. It was before we even left for Bali, Jakarta and Yogyakarta! Crazy i tell you ! I never had any plans to travel right after Indonesia but with the total price for return flight RM 45 flashing on my screen, who could resist ?! That’s right, 45 ringgit for a return tickets to Philippines. This was way before Airasia hiked up the price of check in luggage. You can say that we were lucky. In the Philippines, we will be joined by our local Pinoy Ambassador, Hannah ! As usual, i won’t be going to the typical places but will be going far up north, Northern Luzon where we will stop at Vigan, Laoag City, Pagudpud and finally at Manila. This time around, my bag has been significantly lighter cause the clothes i am bringing are light weighted ala jersey types. We would be traveling in public buses in certain area so a light bag would be a good bag, lol. My DSLR is out again. It has been hibernating for God knows how long. Every trip, ever since Cambodia i have been using Crocs as

Bali Day 2: Hiking up a semi active volcano, Mount Batur
Upon reaching Hotel Surya we divided ourselves to the rooms that were allocated to us. Because Wai Seng fell sick and had to forgo the trip, we had an extra room. We all decided to give the room to our driver and our guide, Yoga I can still remember clearly that Yoga kept asking me if i was sure of giving him the room. The driver himself was baffled, LOL. Since both of them will be with us for the next few days, why not give them some proper place to rest since we have one room extra. We were later awaken at 3 in the morning and it was freaking cold ! It wasn’t as windy as Genting Highlands but the temperature was cold. Most of us were still in daze and once we got into the van, we dozed off. After a short drive we arrived at the starting point of the hiking trail. If you are wondering why are we even hiking in Bali, well that’s because most of us here love hiking and when i was told that it’s possible to hike up Mount Batur, i thought no further and requested it. A normal hike is
