Day 1 (night) (26th Apr 2014)
Arrived in Bali. Went to the airport counter to purchase taxi coupon. Taxi charge could be much more expensive if we simply took a taxi outside the airport. Stayed at Tune Hotel at Kuta City center
which is about 10 minutes’ driving distance from Ngurah Rai International Airport. We paid about IDR70,000 for the taxi to reach the hotel. Tune
Hotel at Kuta Bali is just 10 minutes’ walk from Kuta Beach and Kuta shopping area.
To avoid confusion, we told the taxi drive the address of the hotel - Jalan Kahyangan Suci (Off
Jalan Pantai Kuta), Kuta.
The room of the hotel is pretty small but the location is strategic.
 On the way to Kuta Beach  Day 2 (27th Apr)
Our next venue is Tanah Lot. We took a taxi (by paying about IDR200,000). It took us about 45 minutes from Kuta City center
to Tanah Lot. We stayed at Coco Hotel at Tanah Lot. The hotel is located at the
tourism area of the Tanah Lot and just 5 minutes’ walking distance from Tanah
Lot temple, best known as Pura Tanah Lot. Entrance fee to Tanah Lot is IDR30,000. We visited Tanah Lot
temple at different times, shopped around and enjoyed tasty local cuisine at Tanah Lot.  It was pretty enjoyable to swim at Coco Hotel.  Shopping around Tanah Lot.  Tanah Lot temple.
