So he brought us to this place not very far from Nusa Dua. It was a warung, a pretty shabby eating place and if not without recommendation I wouldn't dare to eat here for hygienic reasons. But he said this place is quite famous for its babi guling, they sold out 4 roasted pigs per day.

He ordered for us the Babi Guling special. On first look, it was pretty scary especially the organs. Hmm.. I could only identify the intestines. The rest I rather don't ask. :P
The best part of babi guling was the crispy skin, next was the meat. The organs didn't taste weird as it had all been fried. The satay was just alright.

The soup didn't look appetizing to me so I didn't had much. But hubby said the soup was pretty nice hehhe...

I guess once is enough hehehe...
Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) Cultural Park
After lunch we went to GWK Park. The main attraction of this park is the huge GWK statue which has not been completed.

Head of Garuda
These two statues are part of the bigger statue. He told us that these were the only two things completed in the span of 10 years. Not bad we thought, until we saw the prototype.
The artist impression of GWK statue. If completed, this will be higher than the Statue of Liberty.
Oh my, it is a very ambitious project hehehe... We estimated it would take another 100 years to finish this, just like the never completed Gaudi church in Barcelona.

Personally I don't think this place worth to come, it's a tourist trap.
Uluwatu
When my cousin warned us that the monkey here was very naughty, we didn't take it seriously. Anyway we had been to a lot of places with monkeys and they were quite alright. After all the precautions we took, his hat was still snatched by the monkey in less than 30 minutes!
Tips: Don't wear any jewelery, hats, accessories, and glasses, hold tightly to your bag and camera. Use the stick to hit the ground loudly or make big movements so that the monkey won't come near you.
Naughty Uluwatu residence
We were pretty impressed with the scenery here, definitely must come.

The Blue Point
Not very far from Uluwatu was the Blue Point. This place was famous for the big waves, a favourite with surfers.

We were staying at his villa for two nights. I was pretty impressed after I toured around the place. It was clean, very cosy and quiet, just nice for a relaxing holiday. The villa has 6 units with 2 one-bedroom units and 4 two-bedroom units, all overlooking the swimming pool. Each unit is equipped with bath tub, pantry and small living room, so it's bigger than the usual hotel room. Free Wi-fi, cable TV, and use of bicycles.

We took a rest, freshened up and then walked to Seminyak beach in the evening. It took us about 10 minutes to the beach and along the way there were many shops selling clothes and accessories.

Zanzibar Restaurant
Located just across the beach, we had our dinner here.
Wood fire ham and mushroom pizza. Very nice!
Fisherman catch
This restaurant was pretty upscale but the price was reasonable. Much much cheaper than those in Nusa Dua.
Kuta Square
At night, he drove us to Legian and Kuta Square for sightseeing. We had a fabulous supper there. :)
Cafe Dulang
The banana pancake with icecream is too die for. The best pancake I ever had.
