•barong dance -morning at 9am they have there traditional barong dance so we went there to see it ...since they interact also in Balinese language it's difficult to understand but still good to watch
It was a one hour show
•painting and wood carving and gold and silver market - as you know Bali is famous for it's artifacts we went to see how they are made ...
Ps-if u want to buy any painting ...go for local market since it's cheaper out there

•tanah lot - personally I didn't quite enjoy this place
•sky garden club- in one word 'superb' music was awesome and they even had one Bollywood dance act ,fire dance act and laser dance act
..total worth it
Enjoying the beauty of sea we took fast boat to nusa penida island ....and it's very beautiful....only 2 cliffs I like the most and very photogenic so sharing the pictures with u of that ....for nusa penida u can take a day tour as that's enough ...becoz not much to see in that island and yes the roads are not at all good in nusa penida ...so be prepared for a tiring day ....for vegetarians there are no options in that island so better carry ur own food there .....

In Bali
6th March 2019 Ogoh Ogoh parade
Ogoh ogoh is a kind of statue / giant doll which is made of light materials such as the combination of wood, bamboo, paper, and styrofoam so it is easy to be lifted and paraded. With the development or technology and materials, people prefer using styrofoam because of its lightweight and easiness to be carved and processed, but of course it costs more. Ogoh-ogoh is made in form of Bhuta Kala or evil spirits and creatures who like to disturb human’s life. Bhuta Kala is usually symbolized as a giant creature / Rakshasa with scary and ferocious appearance. Bhuta Kala is the kind of evil creatures which possessed bad nature in them. In Hindu and Buddha mythology, it is said that the word “rakshasa” means “cruelty”, which is the opposite of the word “raksha” which means “tranquility”. By parading ogoh-ogoh and in the end burn or destroy it, it is expected that those vices could be kept away from human race.
So we got the opportunity to enjoy this parade as well 😍😍😍😍😍😍
For dinner u can go to royal kitchen for authentic Indian food and it tastes yum....even better than queens of India .....

Nyepi day
On Nyepi day, which is New Year’s day in the Balinese Saka Calendar, the island of Bali turns off all lights and sounds, stops all traffic, deserts all worldly activities, and meditates, while complete silence and serenity reigns over the entire island.
So there is nothing to do on this day for travellers ...they can just sit in there hotel room ....go for pool ...have Balinese food (nyepi day food)...get spa done
Finally we checked in our most awaited room stay that's is bubble room ....it's beautiful ...very different....nights have the most beautiful scenic view 😍😍😍😍
A must stay
Then we went for 2nd tallest statue in world -garuda Vishnu kencana
U can see that from ur flight as well when ur about to land ....
After that we went to tirta empul which has a holy spring water ....where u have to take bath first and then go inside temple to pray ....(it's like taking blessings from God before u enter the temple)...and u have to wear sarong before u enter the temple ...mandatory for everyone
Last but not the least we went for tegenungan waterfall
(Ps do a little bit of exercise before u head there because you have to climb a lot of stairs back 😭😭😭😭)
Phewwwww
And then we finally headed back to bubble room to enjoy the beauty of nature 😍
