This was the plan suggested by our guide on our second day in Bali. However, we didn't really follow the actual schedule. We went to OKA Bali Agriculture Kuwak Coffee first. It was a long journey from our hotel to the venue because our hotel was located at Ubud which took us almost one hour to arrive. *Depends on the traffic*

Free coffee tasting session. I enjoyed this session the most. We got to talk to the local. She told us about her house, the position of certain room, the function of the room and how they prayed in their house. It was really interesting to me because she looked like a Malay but she was not a Muslim. So I was really curious about her lifestyle.

The aunty was cooking the coffee beans.

So this was the Civet Cat. The guide explained story of kopi luwak to us. This shy cat-like wild creature wanders out of the Sumatran jungle at night onto a coffee plantation and selects only the finest, ripest coffee cherries to eat. However, it can’t digest the stone (the coffee bean) and craps them out, its anal glands imparting an elusive musky smoothness to the resultant roasted coffee.

Hmm..after I heard the story, I was like should I really taste the Luwak Coffee? I tried it and I thought it was okay. I couldn't remember how it taste like now..

We had to pay a permit fee to enter Mount Batur Kintamani area. The road was very steep when we were on our way there and the weather was chilly that day.

We just found out Bali had lots of spots for tourists to take photos however It was not really our kind of thing. So I guess the guide felt weird when she kept asking, 'Wanna take photos?' and we didn't really look like we wanted to😂😂

Found a nice restaurant as well. We had booked our buffet lunch at Amora Restaurant Mount Batur Kintamani so we didn't dine in here.

We saw a little hut below the restaurant and local.

There you gooooo. All the wood crafted souvenirs. I was so tempted to buy all the souvenirs.

The staff brewed the Luwak Coffee for us.

She let us tried different kinds of coffee for free as well. We could purchase the products after our tasting session. Mangosteen tea was really special!
