Travel journals are something I need to work on more often. I’ve been slacking so much I have yet to update this blog with my remaining London and Nottingham trip last year. Bali is also in my “to do” list, which I’m going to attempt to do now. Otherwise, rif might start nagging again.

We turned them down and walked towards the end of the walkway, when rif spotted Made (pronounced as Ma-Di) smiling at us. He had such a friendly smile, so we asked him how much his price was. He initially quoted Rp. 400,000 but we managed to get him to lower it down to Rp. 300,000 per day for 4 days. We wanted a quick lunch, so Made suggested we try some Ayam Tulang Lunak and this restaurant called Malioboro, just five minutes from the airport. As soon as we stepped into the eatery, I immediately knew it was catered to tourists.

The view was amazing. For dinner at Blue Ocean Seafood, we choose a small fish, a reasonably sized squid and one crab, with a bottle of Bintang beer. While decent, it was ridiculously expensive. We paid slightly over Rp 600,000 for that meal, which was the most expensive meal we paid for in Bali. Definitely a tourist trap, this one.
