Depart around 9.00pm from our hotel in Ubud, about 1h30 to reach Besakih Temple. Hike start from 11pm, and sunrise is about 6.30am. There is along rest near the top, where they setup campfire to keep warm. After the long break, last leg of the journey starts at 5.30am to go for the peak and crater. We are lucky that there is no rain, and the wind is strong. The sea of cloud is absolutely amazing, and the clear sky, with the wonderful ridge walk towards the crater. This is one of the best view I have seen after more than a dozen hike. It takes 4 to 6 hours to go up, and the same amount of time to come down. The peak is abiut 3050 metres, and I was mildly out of breathe near the top. Coming down is really painful as well. We reach Besakih Temple around 12.30pm, and be back toUbud round 2pm.

Nice cafe next to the rice field. The Scallop Mentaiko Pasta is really tasty, with nice sauce and some crunchy fried stuff. My wife enjoy the Chicken Gordon Bleu with is crispy and tasty, though slighty salty. The Chai Pear Caramel dessert is average though. Strawberry Lemonade is nice and refreshing. The Expresso Avocado is quite think and bitter, where the taste doesn't quite compliment each other.

Nice full body massage. 1h30m for IRP 140,000.
