Blue Lagoon-Uluwatu beaches

30/12/2007
The night before at Embargo was not an enjoyable one, not too good music and for me, I was too tired after rafting, ubud and cozy session.
In the kuta/legian area, we stayed at the Sari Bunga hotel, 300rb/night (+double bed: 90.000) because it's near to 66 Club..

It's becoming already our habits that everytime we go to bali, we always look for new places to go, new beaches to explore. Today we decided to go a bit east, to a beach in the padangbai zone, called Blue Lagoon. The road to this beach has already built well, so there's no problem getting there. Just go straight from Bypass Ngurah Rai to Sanur and go directly straight to Padangbai. The Bali government have even newly built a road that will lead directly to Goa Lawah. Drive through and just follow the sign.
We passed the port, turned left and proceed, following the sign board on the street. Finally we arrived!!.. There are two warungs only there that also rent out beach chair with umbrella. One warung rent it for 15rb including shower facilities and the other for 10rb. We didn't know first actually, we just walked pass through the first warung because we wanted to arrived directly to the beach. Only later that we decided to rent a bench to put our things and to be able to take a little rest. 10rb only, we took 2.
The beach was nice, it's like a bit closed beach, a lagoon, and that makes the water a bit calm. Bali these days are seeing strong winds, high waves, strong currents. While here, it was still OK to swim and snorkel. A bit further to the sea, we saw some boats who took tourist there for a snorkling trip. Little else to say, we enjoyed our time under the sun and under the sea..

We stayed there until quite late, around 4.30 or something. On the way back we decided to stop by to have dinner and visit Massimo at his restaurant in Sanur. As usual, good italian food. We finished the day quite early as we were all tired..
