Yesterday on December 17,2021, we went on a trip to southern Bali with our friend, Mr. John Cris from Philippine, who has been living in Batam – Indonesia for one year. Now he is coming to Bali for a 5 days vacation from 17 – 21 December 2021.
On the first day we picked him up at Ngurah Rai airport in the afternoon around 15.20. Then we emmediately took him to south Bali to see the beauty of the Uluwatu temple and the Kecak dance performance. Arriving at the location, I was quite surprised at the situation in Uluwatu because many tourists came to see the beauty of the Uluwatu temple. Here we think there is new hope for Bali tourism actors to rise again.

On the second day of our trip, we visited Kintamani to see the beauty of Mount Batur, Ubud village, Tegalalang rice terrace, Bali Swing, Tirta Empul temple, Tegenungan waterfall and watch the Barong and Kris dance. The first tourist spot to visit is Batu Bulan watching the BArong and Kris dance. However, we were not lucky because the BArong and Kris dance perfomance were still closed due to the pandemic reason. Then we continued our journey to Celuk Village which is famous for its gold and Silver smith. Here we can see the process live.
