On Friday, November 4th 2011 after i finished my recolection with my friends, my father, mother, and my driver picked me up and straight to the airport. Finally at 17:00 we departed and arrived in Bali at 18:30. From the airport we went to Westin Hotel, Nusa Dua and then watched the international women tennis championship, Commonwealth Open. After that we went back to Westin and rested for tomorrow.
The next morning at 07:20 my dad and I had a breakfast in the hotel. And after having the breakfast, we decided to go to the beach to try our luck with the fishing gear. But, the water was still shallow so there just a few small fish. Because of that we didn't catch anything in that day. Then mom, dad, and I left to Benoa Tirta which is the place to play water-sports. My dad and I planned for having a fishing trip, a trolling. Trolling is a technique of fishing using a lure and pulled by the boat at around 20-30km/h. Then the good news is.. we got a pretty good price, and that is about 70 US$ per person, so both of us spent 140 bucks. My mom doesn't want to join us because she can't handle with the big wave. After that my mom went to Bali Galleria and while mommy's shopping my dad and I went back to the beach and rent a jetski for 15 minutes. We pay for about 20 US$ per jetski. We both were having fun together, and I suddenly increased the speed and then my dad was bailed out from the jetski. First I was shocked! But after that what can I do is just sat on the jetski and laughed for my dad. On the way back from Benoa we met my mom and had a pizza to fill up our stomach a little bit. After took a shower my mom and dad went to Ulam had a nice seafood lunch while I stayed in the room that is fulled with AC and pillows (hmm..). I waited for the seafood that my parent will gave me. Then after lunch we all watched the semifinal tennis championship again. After finished watching the tennis match we went straight to Jimbaran Beach to had the best dinner ever in Bali in our favorite restaurant, Menega Cafe. Seafood in Menega was and always be the best and it's not expansive. The beach atmosphere made our night better. Then we went to the hotel and took a rest.
This is the day, my dad and I woke up very early in the morning and went to the beach to took the fishing trip. But bad news came to us, outside there was raining. We both were almost despaired. But then after 30 minutes the rain stopped and finally we went to the ocean at 07:45. We used the trolling boat with 2 engine and carried 2 set of fishing gear. The wave in the middle of the ocean was really big and it made both of us seasick. Because of that my father had thrown up. But after waited for about 1 hour finally we got a strike of 4 little tuna on one fishing rod! What a great feeling. After 3 hour of fishing, we got 20-25 tuna. What an amazing day. Then we went back to the hotel and swam. After mom finished swimming in the hotel pool my dad and I went to the beach again to swam and looked around for a fish. And then I found a sea creature that I have never seen before, and that is sea urchin and Ophiuroidea, it's an sea creature like starfish. Then both of us saw some of the marine fish like John Dory. After lunch and took a shower we went to the championship again for the final. And the Ana Ivanovic was crowned as the champ. And then we went to Haven Hotel in Seminyak to stay there for 2 night. In the night we went out to find dinner. At last we ate in the Indian Restaurant, Queen's Tandoor.
The next day we went AGAIN to the beach at the back of the hotel to play bodysurf. We also collected some shellfish before went home. After took a bath and ate a little bit. we went to Kedonganan Market in Jimbaran. In Kedonganan we picked a lot of seafood with a very cheap price then we just brought it to the roadside stalls and they will grill the seafood for us. After finished lunch, before back to airport, we visited Discovery Mall and also Jenggala. Then we departed from Bali and arrived in Bandung at 20:10.
