Journey continue to Day 3

On the 3rd day, we decided to get out of Kuta to explore other sides of Bali. So, first, we went to Nusa Dua. Took us almost 30 mins to reach Nusa Dua by bike. Nusa Dua is a peninsula, located at the southern side of Bali. Most of the high-end hotels are located there. Like Grand Hyatt Bali, Hilton International Bali, Nikko Bali and etc...

After checking out the hotels in Nusa Dua, we went on to search for Pura Geger. By the way, "Pura" means temple. Pura Geger, a temple dedicated to agricultural deities, is a short distance east of town on a rocky promontory. From Pura Geger, you can overlook the beautiful sea. About 400meter from Pura Geger, we came to a seaweed farm. According to one of the farmer there, the collected seaweeds is used in food, sauces, soap and condiments. They also export the seaweed to countries like Japan and Singapore.

After that, we ride towards Uluwatu. Before we reach Uluwatu, we stopped by at the Garuda Wishnu Kencana Cultural Park in Jimbaran. Is a cultural park craved out of limestone rock. We paid 15,000 Rupiah each for admission fees. This entitled us to stroll around and view the great statue of Vishnu, the Hindu God and the statue of half bird half man, Garuda. After visited the cultural park we head on to The Peak in Uluwatu to see the beaches. Beautiful beaches...After few hours in Nusa Dua and Uluwatu, we decided to head back to hotel for dinner.

We had our dinner in some random restaurant. After dinner, we went back to hotel to rest and prepare ourselves for next day's tour!
