THIS IS BALI ~~ MY TUR BUDAYA STORY

1st day

The first day of Tur Budaya 2019 I came to Husein airport at around 06:00 WIB. Before that, I had breakfast first with my family on my house. After breakfast, I said goodbye. This is my first time flight. A lot of negative feeling on my mind, but all of my family said everything would be alright...
Just around 9.30 a.m., I did a boarding pass, put the suitcase into the luggage and then around 10.15 I flight. Skip the flight story cos nothing to tell HEHE..
We arrived at the airport Ngurah Rai Bali around 12.00 WITA. After that I took the suitcase and headed for bus number 2, my class bus. First one should visit favorite destination in Bali is Tanah Lot, which is I often hear some story about it, and now it's my turn to tell you a story.
Well, Tanah Lot is a big coast, a lot of big wave in the afternoon. OMG I forgot something to tell.
So, my tour guide name is Bo Komang. On my first arrival in the bus, she teaches us some Bali Language, and the difference according to my city, Bandung. She also told that Tanah Lot is a holy place. Balinese believe in the existence of a holy snake. The holy snake is always in a silence position. Some tourist get to the holy snake place and watched it. But I don't too interested of it, I don't know why, maybe because of the beauty of Tanah Lot amaze my brain. We take a lot of photo there.

Finally tour continue to a restaurant in Jimbaran. At first we were take a photo of there then eat. But suddenly the rain fell. We went straight to the bus and went to the hotel to have a rest. The hotel is a guest house.

2nd day

My second day in Bali starts. I wake up in the quite morning. Quickly I got my breakfast and took a bath at the hotel. The first destination is Tanjung Benoa. There, I visit to Turtle Beach. Besides there are many turtles, there are also other animals there. then I also played water sport on Tanjung Benoa, flying on the sea with flying fish, in the middle of the sea waves with donuts and it was fun. My friends, on a community called Bali 17 also played a football beach game. Indeed, the temperature was so hot, but it's alright. Everything's good and we enjoy the football. We had lunch at Tanjung Benoa too.
Okay, the second destination on this 2nd day is Pandawa Beach. According to our tour guide, formerly the Pandawa beach was a hidden beach, but after the cliff was made, road access was made. the beach becomes very famous because the view are very  beauty. On the cliffs of Pandawa beach carved by several Hindu statues, We took a photos of them there. Pandawa is as hot as Tanjung Benoa. I think every beach is just like that, especially in Bali. A lot of tourists sunning themselves. On their mind, the purpose of sunburn in the beach is to prove to their friends that they have been in a beach.

When entering the prayer time we pray in all the places of worship religion namely Pujamandala.  There are 5 place of worships. A mosque, temples, monasteries, and 2 churches. So we pray at that place. It is a beautiful place. We saw very high tolerance in Bali.
After that I visited Garuda Wisnu Kencana ,the largest statue in the world defeat the statue of Liberty. This statue was inaugurated on September 2018. There are a lot of statues, not only the biggest one, but also a middle and small in size. I also ride a bike for IDR 20k and had a lot of fun with my friends.

After that, in the evening, I watched the Devdan show, which is a show of all Indonesian culture from Sabang to Merauke which is very fascinating. Then rest at the hotel. A funny moments happened. So, my friends and I order some pizza. But the order destination was false, we order from Bandung to Bandung HAHAHA. But we have paid for the pizza, so all clear. We order for the second time, and it's still got some mistake. We order the pizza to Quest Hotel Kuta, even though we are in Quest Hotel Denpasar. Luckily, Kuta is not too far from Denpasar, and we still get the pizza we have ordered.

3rd day

The third day in Bali as usual begins with breakfast. Today's first agenda is to visit Tirta Empul, a source of water that is considered sacred. There are several Traditional ceremonies are also held here. Besides that a lot tourists who take a bath or just wash their faces at this water source, because the rumors can make it easier Mate is ageless, and treats diseases.

The journey continues towards Kintamani for lunch there. Actually we are presented with beautiful mountain views, however Unfortunately the weather is cloudy so the scenery is invisible. My favorite dish in Kintamani is the Satai. It's very delicioous. I add my satai for triple. 

After that the journey continues to the village Penglipuran. That is a village that is famous as one of the best villages in the world, along with 2 other villages in India and Netherlands, but unfortunately when it was just until the rain fell. Well, I don't care with the weather. It's Bali bro. I persuade my friends to continue the journey in walking along the village, although it's rainy. A big rain. After that we return to the bus in a wet condition. We went back to the hotel to prepare our makrab "La boheme" in the hotel ballroom in Nirmala.
So the night we are waiting comes. Everyone dress hippie, sing, play together and there are many doorprizes given, namely shopping vouchers, up to smartphones. At the end, we watched video which is displayed by Movie Production 3. The event ends in 00.00 WITA. We are so tired, return to the hotel and go to bed.

4th day

The fourth day as usual begins with breakfast at the hotel. But there is something different today, we are directly packing and checking out of the hotel. OMG it's the end of the journey. I will absolutely missed the hotel, for every moment we have there, for the crazy moments, for the deep sleep, and many more.
After clearing all the items and entering them into the bus, the journey continues to Kuta beach. We headed to Kuta Beach using a shuttle, there we went directly to the beach and were surprised by the carcass mice after that we immediately moved away from the beach and wandered around there.  Not much thing we can do in Kuta Bali. I just watched some wave flows though my direction. As time went, the whether went hot and hot. So, my friend and I moved to a minimarket, and as usual in Bali. The minimarket sell an alcoholic drink. But we don't shocked. And weturned to the bus and shop for souvenirs in Krishna, and eating chicken geprek which is super spicy.
We continue to Bedugul. Bedugul is a beautiful temple I saw for the last time in Bali, because it's the final destination. Unlike usual, the temperature was so cold and the air are very fresh. It's because Bedugul located in a highland surrounded by mountains. Enjoy the air.

When night comes, we continued the journey back to Bandung, crossing using a ship from Gilimanuk port to Ketapang port on midnight.

5th day

The fifth day begins with the dawn prayer and take a bath in Bromo restaurant after that Breakfast at the restaurant then travel continuing, crossing to Madura Island past the suramadu bridge. Under the suramadu bridge there is a unique phenomenon that is a border in the water the sea which is fresh water and salt water cannot be united. then on Madura Island we bought ball Madura there is a very tasty cracker ball. After that we returned to Surabaya to have lunch at Wulan warung restaurant. After that we headed Juanda station for trains 12 hours to bandung. On the train we play cards, tell stories and have dinner there. After that we rest .The sixth day is the last day of the trip from Tur Budaya to Bali. Arriving at the station Bandung, We carry all our items including souvenirs and return to their homes each safely then rest.

LENTICULAR CLOUDS ~~ NATURAL PHENOMENON

A lenticular cloud is a lens-shaped cloud that normally develops on the downwind side of a mountain or mountain range. This occurs when stable, moist air flows over a mountain, creating a series of oscillating waves. If the temperature at the crest of the wave equals the dew point temperature, condensation occurs in a lens formation. As the air falls down the trough of the wave, where the temperature and dew point temperature are not equal, evaporation occurs. Thus, a wave cloud, or a series of lenticular clouds, is capable of forming. These are often mistaken for UFOs because of the saucer-like shape. They can separate into altocumulus standing lenticular, stratocumulus standing lenticular, and cirrocumulus standing lenticular clouds.

Appearance

Lenticular clouds have been mistaken for UFOs, particularly in the shape of a "flying saucer", because these clouds have a characteristic lens appearance and smooth saucer-like shape; also, because lenticular clouds generally do not form over low-lying or flat terrain, many people may have never seen one before and don't know that they can exist. Bright colours (called iridescence) are sometimes seen along the edge of lenticular clouds.

How does Lenticular Cloud Form?

As air travels along the surface of the Earth, obstructions are often encountered. These include both natural features of the Earth, such as mountains or hills, and man-made structures, such as buildings and other structures. These disrupt the flow of air into "eddies", or areas of turbulence influenced by these obstructions.

When moist, stable air flows over a larger eddie, like those caused by mountains, a series of large-scale standing waves form on the leeward side of the mountain. If the temperature at the crest of the wave drops below the local dew point, moisture in the air may condense to form lenticular clouds. Under certain conditions, long strings of lenticular clouds can form near the crest of each successive wave, creating a formation known as a "wave cloud." These wave systems can produce large updrafts, occasionally enough for water vapour to condense and produce precipitation.

Where do Lenticular Cloud Form?

Lenticular clouds form in high altitudes, which is why you may have seen these types of clouds if you live by mountains or you visited

There a frequent occurrence in the Rocky Mountains and places like Mount Rainier Washington. This can happen as a result of wind shear created by a front.

Are Lenticular Cloud Dangerous?

For most of us lenticular clouds are not dangerous. However pilots do tend to avoid flying near these flying saucers due to the turbulence to the airplane systems

Pilots can easily locate the rising air mass based on the orientation of the clouds making the rough air very easy to spot and thus avoid it.

Flight

Pilots of powered aircraft tend to avoid flying near lenticular clouds because of the turbulence of the rotor systems that accompany them, but glider pilots actively seek them out. The precise location of the rising air mass is fairly easy to predict from the orientation of the clouds. "Wave lift" of this kind is often very smooth and strong, and enables gliders to soar to remarkable altitudes and to great distances. As of 2016 the gliding world records for both distance (over 3,000 km; 1,864 mi) and absolute altitude (15,460 m; 50,721 ft) were set using such lift.
