| Summary | Auunual Europe in June, I have planned to visit Bulgaria and Serbia. Then I booked air ticket with the Qatar Airways and hotels. The conflict happened in middle east in March, I recieved a email by the Qutar Airways. It said the flight was canceled, I was able to refund or change the period by October. However they didn't suggest alternative flights things like via Haneda The flight from Belgade to Sophia and last night hotel in Sophia was almost of all not refunded.. If I book a flight once again in April, it might be expensive. So I chenged the plans between this year and next year: Bulgaria, Serbia and Bali Island. |
||
| Itinerary | I was able to book the flights from Kansai to Denpasar with the Singapore
Air Lines by the Partner Flight Awards . First, staying 3 nights in Denpasar to see the Bali Art Festival. After that moveing to the Lembongan Island and staying one night. Next moveing to Kuta and staying two nights. Visting some famous temples by car charter. Last day, moving to the airport in the early mornning, and coming back via Singapore. |

| Bali Art Festival |
I was not able to see the Bali Art Festival 7 years ago by my misunderstanding
of the schdule.:Jul.2019 Bali Island I usually go to Europe in June, so I was not able to to the Bali Art Festival this period. Actually, performance was held at night, I was able to look around there in half day. |

|
| 2nd day | I went to a money exchanger in morning, it took one hour by foot because
Denpasar is not tourist spot. And then I walk around the city, I remembered I was demanded for 200K at the Jagatnatha Temple 7 years ago. However I was also demanded for 200K in there, I refused to guide, we agreed for 50K just rental fee of saron. After that I came back to the hotel, took arest, I went to the Art Center to see performance in the afternoon. |

|
|
| 3rd day | There was no performance in day time, and I was going to move to Sanur
in the afternoon. I walked around the park near by, and go to shopping. I bought a sarong for me as I 've wantde it. I bought store clerk recommended one whick has authentic pleats and strings. |
||
|
| To Sanur |
I checked out at the hotel in Denpasar around noon. I headed to the hotel
near the Sanur Port by Grab. I tried to go to the check-in desk boud for the Lembongan Island.。 |
||
| To Lembongan Island |
I have booked the boat bound for the Lembongan Island, departing 9AM beforehand.
It said I have to come the meeting place one hour earlier than departure time. I left the hotel at 7:30, taking some spare time, and arrived the check in desk at 7:45. They took me to the boat immediately. The boat departed as soon as I got on the boat around 8AM. Then the boat arrived a Island some minute befor 9AM. I wondered I saw a big pier. I tried to check google map, the island I arrived was the Penida Island. I asked people near by I wanted to come the Lembongan Island. They told me the check in desk boud for the Lembongan Island. I got on the boat and it departed at 10Am. However I have booked the hotel near the Lembongan port. The boat I got on only went to the pier near the bridge between Lembongan and Ceningan. I had no choice but to take a taxi. 200K and 150K, extra unexpected expense. I have booked the boat with Get your guide . I tried to search a boat boud for Lembongan. It choose a boat bound for Penida, I needed to make sure carefully. |

| Lembongan Island |
There was nothing but rental motorbike for means of transport. Though I was worred about driving, I decided to rent a mortorbike. I fell off my motorbike because I braked tight at the bridge to Ceningan, and then grazed my arms and legs. Moreover, it rained, my heart was almost broken. I tried to take a shelter from the rain to change my mind. I patiently waited to stop to rain almost one hour. There was slightly sunlight and blue sky. I went to the Dream Beach and the Devil's Tears. |
||
|
| To Kuta |
I checked the departure time bound for Sanur next day. I walked around
neighborhood since it was half past 12. After arriving Sanur, I took late lunch, and tried to take a grab car. Drivers bothered me to take a grab car around the port. In addition, cars didn't stop in front of me, I was able to get a grab car third time. |
||
|
| Sight seeing in Bali Island |
I booked a car hole day before departure wuth the Get your guide. I planed to visit Tanah Lot, Taman Ayun, Penglipuran Village and one or two temple. However driver told me it was impossible to go both west and east side of Ubud. I thought it was not difficult to go there as the crow flies by map, but it seemed there are mountain or no road in stone's throw distance. I chose the west side of them as I wanted to visit Tanah Lot and Taman Ayun mainly. I decided to visit east side next time to go the Bali Island. |

|
|
| Beratan temple and Jatiluwih race terace |
Instead of not going east sied, driver took me more two places, Pura Danu Beratan Bedugul and Jatiluwih Rice Terace. I have already visited the temple once, driver stoped by there on the way from Pemuteran to Ubud 4 years ago. Though it was cloudy at that time, as it was sunny day and blue sky, so stunning at this time. |

| Way back home |
I took a grab car to the airport next morning around 5AM. I came back to
the Kansai Airport at night. I was able to watch the world cup 2026 on the cabin and airport, no need to killing time. There were not many passenger, occupancy rate was around 50% from Singapore to Kansai. It was not popular 6 hours taransit time in Singapore on the way to and arrival at night on the way back. Because I was able to book an award ticket two months before. |
