Bali Bali Day 2: Coffee Plantation, River Rafting

We were grateful for the car, allowing us to rest our tired legs. As part of the package, we visited the coffee plantation. This time, we all knocked out in the 30 mins ride. 

We werent keen in some coffee plantation but couldn't reject the tourist trap either. It's OK, we are on a holiday. Enjoy, we must.

We had good fun trying the coffee and tea. Then, we were brought to the shop for shopping. Daddy Lim brought some spice tea that is supposed to be good for digestion and pain (aka old people tea, hoho). The coffee and tea are expensive at IDR120k for a small 100g pack. Zaky happily helped himself to the free chocolate samples. Those are expensive too and I refused to buy him any. They don't even taste good, like those cheap fake chocolates. 

We boarded the car again for another 45mins drive to the activity center for the water rafing and we all knocked out again. I didn't bring along any slippers, thinking that water rafting should be a barefooted activity, isn't it? What I didn't expect, was a long descent to the river. In fact, we started with a short car ride, then a long flight of big steps. Daddy Lim's knees were barely holding up and our soles were suffering too. We felt victorious just by completing the descent. Lol. 

Only Daddy Lim brought his phone. Just when we wanted to take pictures, he couldn't find his phone and figured out that he had dropped it in the car. Zzzzz. 

The river rafting was fun. It was our family's 1st experience. Before the activity, Zaky commented that it should be similar to the rapid Jurassic Park ride in USS. Lol. There were a couple of drops but mostly pretty calm otherwise. I don't know how long we rowed but Nana was very competitive, trying to catch up with other boats and then had fun splashing water at others. Lol. It was cold, cold water...

When we were done with the water rafing, it was back to the stairs, this time going up. Not only our overworked knees were whining but so were our soles. Shower facilities were provided but the water was barely flowing and we sometimes had to try to scoop what was flowing down the walls. We managed alright. 

This were the only pictures. All cleaned up though. 

The package came with "buffet" lunch. We were starving from the sunrise bfast and the exercise load. There were only rice, fried noodles, chicken, tauhu curry, vegetable, satay and crackers to choose from but we were hungry people. We completed the meal with ice cream. 

We headed back to the villa after lunch and were knocked out for the 3rd time. 

Back at the villa, we decided to go for body massage. It was during the massage that I realised that I had muscle aching all over from the HiiT a day before. I think I dozed off during the massage. I don't know how I did that with all the massage ache. #supertired

Dinner was at this burger joint that we found about 8 mins walk away and it was super good. 

Zaky ordered Mac & Cheese, Nana had a burger and Daddy Lim bought steak. The steak was so juicy and nice and we all stole a piece and Daddy Lim had to order another burger. Hoho. 

That night, I fell asleep at 7.30pm. I heard Zaky didn't last much longer. Daddy Lim and Nana were scrolling their phone until 9ish before knocking out. Good night!
