So I was in Kuta again, alone. I had something like a day off, so I got myself a haircut (for 2 CHF, btw), did some shopping, answered my mails and had lunch. At 12:30 I took off with Wayan again, to a place I read about in my LonelyPlanet: Jatiluwih.
Jatiluwih is somewhere in nowhere: Even Wayan with his 13 years of experience as a driver had to ask for directions. It took us 4 hours on bumpy roads. But it was worth it. (Not just because of the food!)
To really get the greenness of Jatiluwih, one has to go there. The second best way is to visit http://www.panorama.ch.vu/!
It's like a vast, green valley out of rice terraces and tiny villages. I just loved walking through these fields, every step is rewarding.
Keep in mind that the pictures don't even come close to reality!
Gorgeous.
Mhm... Bintang beer...
Being the only guest at the hotel, the clumsy and very friendly innkeeper treated me like a king. And that's just the breakfast! It included 14 bananas, fried bananas, some kind of rice dish (~ Nasi Goreng) and an undefined appetizer. Additionally, of course, a 3dl cup of tea and a pot of coffee!
On the 2nd day, the 2nd of May, I rented a bike. I drove through the rice fields and visited the highest temple of Bali. It was the smelliest temple I've ever seen.
That's my first manual gear bike. 5 CHF/day.
Then, I went to one of the biggest temples of Bali: Pura Luhur Bhujangga, where I could witness to a ceremony.
Driving through villages can be an incredible pleasure!
