It’s not just a common plan, but a
almost-do-plan….hehehe….Hopefully, it’ll be done someday..
I have planned this when I was stressed by studying doctor
exit exam…it was really stressful.
Oke…let’s begin…Everything begins from what vehicle you must
ride…And the one of that vehicle is a plane…I choose Airasia…Though I was the
cheapest and the earliest plane but now because of that accident [Airasia’s
crashed in early 2015], the rate is going up….
First day…
We’ll depart from Yogyakarta Adi Sucipto Airport at 06.25
WIB and we’ll arrive there at 8.25 WITA. We rent a motorcycle for a day. We would
contact someone who easy to chat and he was recommended from other blog too…He
is Bli Bayu (087860985449). We’ll have an appointment in Denpasar Airport. So, we don’t need
to go to Kuta by taxi and rent a motorcycle there…It’ll save some money. The
rent rate is Rp 50 k/day excluding fuel.
After we get motorcycle, we’ll go to Kuta. The first place
we should visit is a homestay. We choose Arthawan Hotel, poppies lane 2, because
of its reputation as the cheapest hotel in Kuta. This rate is as cheap as Rp
100 k/room/2 person.
To optimize the time, we’ll be heading to Tanah Lot. Before
that, we want to buy the most delicious milk pie in Bali. It is located in Jalan Nangka Selatan No 163, Denpasar. One
box of milk pies costs Rp 25 k. From Milk pie store, we go to west through
jln Gatot Subroto then jln Raya Canggu. It is about 20 km (+ 1 hour). Don’t forget to use your GPS, it is
very helpful.

Tanah Lot is a Pura surrounded by sea. If we want to get to
Pura, we should pass the sea by walking. We’ll be get wet, but it is worth. In
the inside, we’ll see water springs and snake…I don’t know whether it’s true or
not.

Then, we’ll head to Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK), where lies
the giant statue. The entrance fee is Rp 40 k includes watching Bali dance.
We’ll stay there not too long because our main attraction is Sunset Kecak dance
in Uluwatu.

From Tanah Lot to GWK, it takes about 1-1,5 hours and from GWK to
Uluwatu, it takes 1 hour ride. And we must arrive in Uluwatu before sunset to
take picture, Of course. Entrance fee in Uluwatu is Rp 15 k and The Kecak dance
ticket is Rp 100 k. The kecak dance will be started at 6 pm so we have to be
ready in hall before that.
At night, We’ll be back to Hotel and enjoy the night in Kuta
and buy some stuff for traveling to Gili Island like mineral water and Pop
mie..
Second day….
We’ll go to Gili Island by speed boat. We’ll be picked up at
6.00 – 7.00 am. The speedboat or people often called fastboat ticket can be
found in travel agency in Kuta.The price is about Rp 500 – 700 k/return depend
on the fastboat company. This price include pick up service from hotel and some
snacks.
At 11.30 am, we’ll arrive at Gili Trawangan, the biggest
Gili. We’ll be greet by the beautiful beach.
