Day 2 : Nusa Lembongan , Bali

Took the speed boat to Nusa Lembongan at 10 am today. I think it was under JJ Cruise. And they picked us up from our hotel about 9 am. The trip back and forth was about 350,000 IDR only. We managed to negotiate for a cheaper price as we walked around Kuta the night before.

Arrived about 10.30-ish at the Mangrove point (due to the high tides), and honestly , the island was pretty isolated and did not provide much public services. So be prepare for that if you didn't choose any packages on the island like we did. Since none of us could ride a bike , we hailed a truck to Dreambeach which cost us 300,000 IDR. 

We couldn't do much water activities as the beach was kinda rocky and had really strong currents. Nobody was actually swimming there or at the beach when we were there (such irony). We walked around to Sandy Beach upto Mushroom Bay which took us around 30 minutes overall (and yes, it was tiring. Hahaha). Ate by Mushroom Bay and it was already about 2 pm. We decided to go for snorkelling which was only about RM 45 ! Well , the person who brought us for snorkelling didn't seem professional and I wouldn't say it was a very safe snorkel but how bad can snorkelling get anyways ? (Would upload videos of our snorkelling trip on YouTube soon) . 

The snorkelling trip ended about 3.30 pm and we took the bike back to DreamBeach where we had the truck to send us back to the Central. About 5pm , we headed back to Kuta Beach. The ride was really bumpy probably because the tide was high already about that time (which explains why most boats head back by 3 to 4pm). 



Came back to our hotel , Serela Kuta and had our break. Then , Sarah , Raina and I decided to head out for flapjacks about 10.30 pm and apparently they were about to close their shop already . So be sure the next time before you go do check on the closing time ! Hahaha. 

Ended up watching the World Cup 2014 at a Sports Bar with Raina and it was definitely an experience to remember. It's different compared to the KL Mamak experience as there were many foreigners betting on shots and some were actually Americans themselves (the match was between Germany vs USA) . 


Came back about 2 am after the awesome match and that was the end of Day 2 in Bali :)
