When I wake up, open my eye! I saw this view infront of me. Really good for our eye 
Greenfield Ubud hotel. We stayed downstair 
Having our breakfast at Greenfield cafe. Fresh watermelon juice.
Different room got different set of breakfast. They gave us this food menu to choose our food. But we are so confused, dont know how to order. (^_^) Just simply this this this, that that that. Do you also feel confuse on the food menu also.hehe ^^ ?
Let’s show you what we have successful ordered ya
For my hubby, he ordered set no3. Fresh fruit salad served with Yogurt & Honey, No10. Mie Goreng and Bali Coffee
For me, I orderd set no5. Greenfield Breakfast special – Fresh fruit juice, sliced fruit platter, egg any style with sausage, white or brown toast, butter and jam.
After finished our breakfast, already 10am 
. We asked our driver come at 9am ~ hehe ^^.
Before we started, just to let you know, day 3 itenary will visit alot of temple. To enter a temple, you must wear the pant or skirt which cover your knee. Else, please bring your own “sarung”. Because some temple will provide you free but some will charge you. Let’s start our journey!
Our first station->Goa Gajah. Entrance fees Rp6,000 per pax with free sarung. This was a dwelling place of Buddhist priest. There is also a Ganesha statue and Ligga are generally attributed to Siwa worship.We are provided free “sarung” to wear at Goa Gajah. At here, you can hire a tour guide to bring you around Goa Gajah + telling you the history of Goa Gajah.
A place for King and Queen take shower.
After spent 45mins at Goa Gajah. We continue our journey to Pura Keher. Entrance fees Rp3,500 per pax. No free “sarung”! You are required to pay Rp5,000 for each! And they will ask for your donation after you finish visiting the temple, if you didnt donate, they will tell you must donate. So better bring your own Sarung! I negotiate with them that Rp5,000 for 2 “Sarung” and mentioned to them I will not donate. I feel that they simply want to “CHOP” people! So, please be aware. Anyway, Rp5,000 just < $1. If dont want to make unhappy condition, just pay it to settle thing easily. Sometime money can solve problem easily.
See my blue color “Sarung” Not nice one..keke. Today the temple has ceremony,Thus, you will see alot decoration here.
Most of the people just sit on the floor to do the praying.
Next station -> Pura Besakih, Mount Agung. Pura Besakih is the oldest and biggest temple in Bali. The Entrance fees Rp10,000 per pax. No free “Sarung”. Rp5,000 for each also. In order to pay it, I just went to the shop bought own sarung!
According to Jonny, there was group of gangster forcing you to take tour guide else they will not you enter the temple. Even you just want to take the picture, they also blocked you. *They are collected money illegally, please be aware*. To reach the temple, you need to walk 800m. I dont want to take a risk to walk for 800m and not even get a chance to take the photo! So, I try to negotiate the price from Rp200,000 to Rp60,000! I feel like being chopped again 
. Does anyone have tried to enter the temple and not need to pay for tour guide? Does anyone experienced this before? Please share…
Our *gangster* tour guide
After 800m walk, finally we reached! The view so nice
Ceremony again ^^. The woman was trained to bring the stuff using head???
Your left hand side is good god, right hand side is bad god. They said must have bad and good only balance oh ^^
Good god with smile face. Bad god with angry face
This is the view from the highest place. You can continue walk further to Mount Agung if you want ^^
After one hour, we continued our journey to Penelokan, Kintamani. A famous view of Mount & Lake Batur. We have our buffet lunch here. Before I came, my friend already told me that the buffet lunch is expensive and not nice to eat. Thus, we asked our driver to bring us to the most cheapest buffet lunch which cost around Rp60,000 per pax. So, sincerely tell you, dont try!The food not nice and alot flies! Cant let you know which restaurant, because they still need to do business . You guess from the photo
The place we sit. We purposely have lunch here is to enjoy the view and weather.
Buffet? Just one row of food X_X
Drinks~I saw a flies drop into the milk! Yuck..
Very disappointed on the food
That’s all for the food, just little choice only
Is ok, just enjoyed the view! View of mount Batur. Not clear because too foggy.
Suddenly cant see anything
We stop by somewhere and capture the view of lake batur.
Mount Batur is an active volcano.
Jonny brought us to coco farm.
They made Ginger Tea, Bali Coffee, Cappucino, Lemon for us to try.
You know what is this? In mandarin called “Snake fruit”.
Then, we went to Tampak Siring and Tirta Empul Temple
Praying again =.=”’
Fish pond
Alot people queue up to take bath at tampak siring ~ Air suci???
Tirta Empul Temple need to wear “Sarung”. Free one…no worry
Ceking and Tegallalang
Tegallalang is centre of the wood craving industry. You will saw alot wood craving along the road. You will stop by Ceking to see the nice view of rice terrace.
Ceking
Don’t play play with this old man. He keep asking you to take his photo, but then will ask you to pay him. He is doing business actually ^^
We have skip one place – Gunung Kawi, Jonny told us this place also visit temple, so really nothing special. He said we are the tourist who visit the most temple already . So, at 5 pm, we end our trip and reach Ubud around 530pm. After few days trip, really feel so tired and now is time to relax at Verona spa.
Verona Spa
We took this spa treatment, Rp 150,000
Javanese Lulur ( 2 hours )
17th. century Javanese royal treatment
After a one-hour massage, your body is scrubbed with lulur (turmeric, sandal wood, and rice powder) to remove dead skin, an exfoliation of yoghurt to eliminate toxin, and ends soaking aromatic flower bath.
Spa served with Ginger Tea and fruits
I feel the massage and spa overall is ok. Just feel abit warm due to no aircond. After finished, we went back hotel and call food delivery from Pizza Bagus and asked the hotel pick us to Nacho Mama take away food.
We have ordered Pizza Salami Rp22.000, Cabonara Spagetti Rp24.000. Then we have bought Barbeque Pork Ribs/Spare Ribs from Nacho Mama as well. If not mistaken. It cost around Rp55k to Rp60k.
Pizza Salami
Cabonara Spagetti
Nacho Mama
Pork Ribs
The PIzza Bagus food overall is ok. Nacho Mama pork rib taste so nice but cant eat too much because not good for health. We felt so full tonight!
That’s all for day3!! ^^
