The third day after Messy Bounty and Tweety's cage, we planned to do watersports at Benoa, somewhere Nusa Dua. I personally never planned this kind of activity therefore I didn't bring my swimsuit or any backup clothes with me. All I brought was a t-shirt and no pants, no towel, nothing. But then I thought, I'm at Bali and I will never find this beach, this water sports in Surabaya. So why not do it now? So there, I ride a banana boat which had very common sensation. The second water sports I tried was called sandwich. It's a giant tire filled up with maximum 4 persons laying down pulled by a speed boat around the sea. It was a SUPER sensation plus I felt hurt at the back of my neck after that. But it was fun-fun-fun.Some of my friends tried what so called the flying fish. You ride on the same giant tire, dragged into the sea, but instead of just flowing away, they made you FLY! Like this:

Playing water sports, in fact, doesn't make your clothes all wet., it's just splashes. But my friends insisted me to jump out to the water so yes I was all wet. But remembering that I didn't bring any kind of pants with me, it means I have to buy the new one. And I don't know what was I thinking at that time, but instead of bargain the pants, I just gave away Rp. 50.000,- for a pants like this (crap!):

After doing the water sports, we were heading to almost nowhere. It was because we didn't book the hotel for the third night and so on. So practically, we almost stay-less. First we went to Swiss Bell hotel to rent a villa, but then it got cancelled because we can't reached the owner. We tried every hotels possible, but it was all full booked for the standard room. Felt tired enough, we decided topick up our luggages (yes, we left it in Tune Hotel for Rp. 7000,-/luggage/day) then heading to Warung Italia at Seminyak. I've been almost there years ago but it was closed. We ordered the buffet menu (seriously, you can get a cut of lasagna for Rp. 18.000,-, fried squid for Rp. 16.000,-, french bread for Rp. 3000,- and else) and some pastas and a pan of pizza.
I love the fettuccine carbonara and aglio olio pasta and the pizza was okay. To adding a plus value of Warung Italia, the price of fettuccine carbonara for only Rp. 30.000,- and aglio olio for Rp 20.000,- only! The pizza cost us Rp. 50.000,-. It was the best price with great taste of Italian food. I have to come back there someday

We spent the last night at Bali at Singaraja, North Bali. My friend has a hotel there, called Melka Excelsior Hotel, Dolphin and wildlife resort. I've been there years ago and now here I am came back there. Melka Hotel has cute dolphins and you can swim with them. If they like you, they'll try to swim around you and above you. They also have horses and a pony named princess! I've never been seen a pony before, so the first time I saw Princess, I fell in love. She is so tiny and cute!
Meet Princess, the pony
I had a great time in Melka. The hotel is great, the dolphins are cute and lovely. the people are nice.
My suggestion, you should stay at Melka at least once to experience something different.
Well, that's my short trip to Bali. Anyway, I found this new kind of thing while in the fery back to Surabaya. There are a lot of kids offered themselves to jump out from the fery and catch coins, if you throw them coins.
I tried, and they really catched it! They are good and fast swimmers though.
Don't forget to visit Bali, fellas. It's one of the heavens on earth! :)
