"Cape Verde Travel" 11 weeks of my travel story God's Journey

"Cape Verde Travel"

LastParadiseInTheWorld - "The Last Paradise on Earth". This is the first sentence that every tourist will see when landing at Bali Airport and entering the arrival hall. It may be a bit absolute, but I believe that in the minds of many people, Bali is definitely a holiday paradise. Crazy jungle waterfalls, clouds and volcanoes, cliff swimming pools, and jungle swings deep in the tropical rainforest are like an amusement park, waiting for the world to visit. There are countless strategies and legends about Bali, so the traveler did his homework this time and collected the check-in points of various Internet celebrities in Bali and picked them up one by one. After reading this article, you will know what to do in Bali!

Drive in a convertible car

Recommendation index:

Driving a convertible car on the edge of a field in the forest is so refreshing! Put it first, naturally I think it is particularly worthy of recommendation!

The most attractive thing for travelers is that in addition to the charming scenery along the way, which is cool and handsome, the key is not to be crowded with others! If you look down, you will see how many people are queuing/taking pictures at each attraction among internet celebrities and driving a convertible is quite new in Bali. It’s really fun to get away from the crowds and go to some relatively small places.

Our schedule is relatively tight, the appointment only takes half an hour, and the cost is about 300 yuan (including driver). The driver's seat in Indonesia is on the right, so Chinese tourists are advised not to drive by themselves, because driving habits are deeply ingrained and cannot be changed in an emergency. Don’t risk your life and the life of your traveling companions. In addition, the drivers are all locals, so they are definitely more familiar with the terrain and know where the most fun and interesting places are! Psalm Indonesia has a custom of tipping. If you have fun, you can give some tips appropriately.

Floating Breakfast

Recommendation Index:

Floating Breakfast: Living in a villa in the woods, woken up by the sound of birds in the morning, in a private courtyard Enjoy a "floating breakfast" in the pool and soak up the morning sun. The mushrooms that were once grown by Instagram bloggers are very cool and everyone should have an impression. It doesn't matter what you have for breakfast. The key ceremony is first-rate!

There are currently five hotels in Bali where you can enjoy "floating breakfast". We originally booked another one, which had a multi-level infinity pool. It must be super nice to take pictures. However, the Indonesian president temporarily came to Bali for an important event. He chose it with his unique vision, so the entire hotel was requisitioned. We had to look for a house quickly and finally chose this place.

Fortunately, this restaurant is also very good, with good environment and good service. It's a pity that the stay was too short and I couldn't fully experience it. It simply failed to live up to her beauty! You should set aside at least three days to stay in your hotel without going anywhere.

The price of breakfast on the water in this hotel is about 200 yuan per person. As a senior hotel connoisseur, Travel God feels that the variety of breakfast is a bit too little. Although it is said before that "it doesn't matter what you eat", I still hope that I can eat enough. Moreover, the tray is too big, there are few things, and there are not enough photos. good. I hope the hotel can improve it so that guests can take good photos and enjoy the best breakfast.

Swing Nest

Recommendation Index:

There is really no need to elaborate on this. If you just browse through the ins of domestic and foreign internet celebrities, you will be blown away. Anyone who has been to Bali must have seen a jungle bird's nest. Like a postcard from this island. I seem embarrassed to say that I have been to Bali because I have never seen the scenery or taken photos at the Bird's Nest!

Bird's nests come in several shapes, and girls can make them into concave shapes at will.

It’s nice to take pictures, but Shinji advises: Don’t crowd here. There are countless bird's nests and swings in Bali (more on this later). Unless you particularly love this photography theater with three steps and one scene, then just pretend I didn’t say it.

The swing is worth queuing for. After all, Ubud is surrounded by greenery and mountains. Myswing is located in it, and the swing swings very high. From the perspective of the field of view, I feel like I am flying directly out of the platform. I can experience the thrill of traveling through the valley and forest! Moreover, the beautiful photos are enough to amaze your circle of friends.

MySwing also has a special double swing, which couples and girlfriends can try. Also, I would like to remind you that the swings are not included in the park admission, so you will need to purchase additional tickets. Tickets for the swing are about 200 yuan/person.

But. Compared to other blockbusters in this trip, Traveler is actually not very happy with the swing combination. No way, little man. He is pushing with his life! They would stand high, jump down, grab the swing, and throw it with all the force of their fall! It’s super exciting, it really feels like flying to the deep mountains and jungles! But falling behind, growing taller and bolder, I couldn't help but shout "enough"!

So, I didn’t take care of the camera at all and I didn’t take any beautiful photos of those super elegant or fresh Internet celebrity ladies. In short, there must be no balance between having fun and taking photos. Let's do it ourselves. Strictly speaking, apart from the large number of people, there is nothing wrong with the swing.

Warm reminder: The outdoors is completely barrier-free, but you still have to line up, play, and take photos. It takes a long time, so be sure to take sun protection measures. The scorching sun in Southeast Asia is no joke.

Lembongan Devil’s Tears

Recommendation Index:

Lembongan is located in the southeast of Bali. It is also known as the "Sea of ??Glass" due to the crystal clear water. If you are a diving enthusiast, you must not miss this place. With the clear blue water and schools of fish swimming freely, closing your eyes makes you feel like you can forget all your worries.

Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to dive, so we could only feel the devil's Tears - "Devil's Tears" on the edge of the cliff. This is a mysterious name that adds two kinds of charm to the beautiful scenery in front of you. Therefore, it is known as one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Bali, and has even been rated as one of the top ten most beautiful scenic spots in the world by foreign media.

"Devil's Tears" is the best place to watch tides in Lembongan Island. It is located near Dream Beach in Nusa Lembongan. It takes less than ten minutes to drive from the seaside, which is similar to Thailand. Although the place is not big, the scenery is very charming when the tide is high, and there will be extremely high waves. The wave is estimated to be twenty or thirty meters high, which is particularly spectacular.

The waves hit the cliffs, the mist rises, and rainbows can often be seen in the sunshine; when the waves recede, the seawater flows down the rocks, forming countless miniature waterfalls. It is said that the sunrise and sunset here are also beautiful. Many people come here to watch the sunrise and sunset. It's a pity that our boat didn't wait for anyone and had to leave reluctantly, keeping the beautiful scenery in our hearts.

Warm reminder: Never ignore your personal safety just to take photos. Be sure to stay in the designated place and don't wander further. The rocks here are very unique, with uneven edges and sharp edges, making it easy to lose your footing; and the waves are very high when the tide is high. If you stand too close to the edge of the cliff, you can easily be swept away by the waves. It is said that every once in a while, tourists will be swept into the sea because they disobey the advice and step out of the safe zone. If they are light, they will be seriously injured. If they were serious, I wouldn't say it.

Benida Island

Recommendation Index:

Benida Island and Lembongan Island are on the same day. Buy your ticket and arrive at the pier on time, and the speedboat will take you directly to the Blue Star Club on the island. Here, you can participate in snorkeling, kayaking, banana boats, donuts, island tours and other projects for free, and enjoy the lazy vacation life of fine white sand beaches and scorching sun.

Water Palace

Recommended index: ☆☆☆☆

There are eight palaces in Bali. As the text implies, this place is naturally famous for its "water". It’s about a two-hour drive from Ubud and is in the same direction as Sky Gate. It’s recommended to check in together. The entire palace garden is very large, and in the center of the garden is a giant fountain. There are different statues of gods all around, forming a path in the water to decorate the wide pool surface. There are also many fat and beautiful big koi carps under the water! !

There are a lot of people, and it is rare to see attractions where in addition to Chinese tourists, there are many foreigners of all kinds. When we went there, there were two couples taking wedding photos, so you can imagine how difficult it was to capture the scene. If you want to find a clean place, there are no more tricks than waiting patiently.

Look how happy the Traveling God is, haha. At that time, I felt it was hot and crowded, and I was worried about the quality of the shooting. After looking at the photos, I realized that I was actually enjoying myself and being happy at that time!

The entire vegetation layout of the garden is well-proportioned and quite beautiful. As long as you stay away from the core area of ??the fountain, there will be fewer tourists. Remember to walk outside more often, it will be cleaner. There is also a hotel inside. Friends who are interested can consider staying here for two nights.

This pork rib rice is delicious! If you can arrange your time, you might as well have lunch here.

The restaurant is on the second floor. There are several long tables in the inner hall. If there are many people, it is recommended to sit inside because the atmosphere is better. But if you are a group of three or two, you might as well try sitting on the edge of the terrace. Looking up, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Water Palace, which is very eye-catching!

The entire set meal also comes with fruit and soup, which seems to be RMB 150 yuan/portion (if I remember correctly, it should be this price haha). Travel God Tips: Each portion is a whole piece of ribs, which is quite generous. Girls will definitely not be able to finish it. Remember to consider this when ordering. You can order it together with other dishes.

Sukawati Palace

Recommendation index: ☆☆☆

This palace is located in Ubud, known as the art town of Bali. It is said to be a Ubud landmark, so it is also called Ubud Palace (PuriSaren). It is the residence of the Sukawati royal family.

The palace was built in the 16th century, located opposite Ubud Market (Ubud Pasar), and was designed by a famous artist. The entire palace has 60 rooms and is magnificent. Especially the gate, which looks very similar to the famous landmark "Sky Gate" in Bali (described later), but this is a busy and bustling area, and the terrain over there is high, there is no obstruction, and there is a volcano behind it, so take pictures It looks more beautiful naturally.

Exquisite hand-carvings and noble gold foil decorations can be seen everywhere in the palace. It attracts a large number of art lovers here every day. If you are lucky, you can also enjoy a wonderful traditional dance performance with local Balinese characteristics.

Travel God Tips: 1. You must dress neatly when entering the palace. If the staff feels that the tourists' clothing does not meet the standards, they will let you wrap yourself in a sarong and shawl (there is a fee, but it is not expensive, I can't remember the specific amount) ; 2. You can reach Ubud Market from the palace. There are all kinds of wood carvings, clothes, accessories and silverware. Be sure to bargain. The tour guide taught us: "The counteroffer range is about 1/3, and the price cannot be negotiated." It doesn’t matter, just smile and leave; but after talking about it, you must buy it, otherwise the shop owner will be angry.”

Waterfall&Terrace

Recommendation index: ☆☆☆

Tegallalang Tegallalang is a famous world cultural terrace in Bali. The movie "Eat Pray Love" starring Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem opens here. The Tegalalang Rice Terraces are located north of Ubud, with coconut groves and rice terraces echoing each other.

The combination of tropical scenery and pastoral scenery forms a wonderful picture.

Guarding these exquisite and wonderful terraces is the majestic Kintamani volcano behind it. In addition to Julia Roberts' movies, Jay Chou's "Daoxiang" music video was also shot here. Unfortunately, the harvest season has just passed in the southern hemisphere, so the scenery has been compromised. If it were autumn, it would probably be beautiful.

Tegenungan Waterfall and Rice Terraces are not far from each other, so they are introduced together.

You can find countless extremely tempting pictures of Internet celebrities on the Internet. I really want to know where these young ladies were taken? Or did you arrive very early, before the crowd of tourists arrived, so that you could perform so satisfactorily? I had to wait for a long time before I could click the shutter twice for this picture, and I had to wait until later to get rid of the tourists behind me.

Looking at the density of this picture, isn’t it a bit scary? In addition to following the crowd? Or following the crowd?

Fortunately, there are many small places where you can take photos along the way. Look, I didn’t lie to you, right? There are really bird nests everywhere on Bali! There's one here too! As long as you have a good eye, you can catch all kinds of bird's nests everywhere. Of course, the shape of the bird's nest can be similar, but the environment and background will still affect the style of the photo, which will test the photographer's skills.

From the drop-off point to the waterfall, you need to go up a long staircase. TIPs from Travel God: It is recommended to choose sandals that are sturdy and easy to walk on, because you will inevitably get wet after entering the water. Although sneakers are comfortable for walking, they are not suitable for being wet, so sandals are the most convenient. But it is best not to wear something that looks good but is not easy to walk on for the sake of looking good, so as not to slip up and down the stairs easily.
