CHAPTER 17; GWK-TANJUNG BENOA

Saturday, January 9, 2016
Yesterday we had a brief bike ride based on the city's orientation model և its tourist attractions, this second day in Denpasar we decided to travel by bike's Bali public transport. Have fun as a tourist ...)

Earlier, Bliss Krishna told us that in Bali (Denpasar) there are buses like Trans Jakarta or Trans Jogja, the surrounding community is usually called Sarvagita Bus, this blue bus has many amenities, like Trans Jogja, the size is the same. . Well, the fleet is still very small (probably most Bali residents prefer to use private vehicles such as motorcycles or cars). So, although today is a weekend or a weekly vacation, the number of passengers using the Sarvagita bus is still very low. Another reason why Bali residents do not want to use this Sarvagita bus is that the Sarvagita payment system still uses an integrated card on all roads. We change bus shelters every time. Every time we get off the bus, we wait at the bus shelter to change the bus line, we have to pay again, and the system we have to pay a little, which increases the cost of transport. The system is like an integrated trans runner. Using the card և we only pay once when we understand the change of bus route, before we leave the shelter (it is better to leave the shelter, how to buy a bath or shelter և then return, և even then the guards still understand e) Society Change the sand Using an omnibus bus instead of activating Have to get stuck in traffic with your own car

This time the Sarvagita bus we boarded goes straight to the GWK (Garuda Vishnu Kenkana), which is a huge statue depicting Lord Vishnu riding on an eagle bird. But so far the construction work has not been completed where we will do it. In addition to the statue of Garuda Vishnu Kenkana, visitors can see the traditional dance performances of Nabin, which take place on the stage around the statue.

We were disappointed to see the huge statue of GWK և take part in a traditional dance show next to the statue as the ticket price, it is clear to both of us that the ticket price is too high or that we still have a long way to go. , and we still have a lot of places to go. And obviously there is very little need for it, that's why we use the organizational և budget scale for this trip, spending it is relatively shameful. Lots of money because it's a man-made thing, although there are many other attractions we can see at a much lower price, some of which are free.

Gwk entrance ticket price in January 2016

Local adult: 60,000 IDR
Local children: 50,000 IDR

Foreign adults / children: 100,000 IDR

And if you want a GWK statue in the background or use the site to take a professional photo, you will be charged extra, even if we can not go in and see the statue in person, we can not take pictures with it yet. the statue. Gate away from the entrance (reed root is not ready for sugar :))

After GWK we went to Sarbagita Feeder (a kind of Silver Elf car) which has two lines to Tanjung Benoa և the other way to Uluwatu, we recently chose to go to Tanjung Benoa. Due to the opposition of environmentalists, we are excited about his participation in the Beach Restoration Project. The Ankot ticket costs 3,000 rubles per person, և we are only passengers, this trip seems to require private transport… it is our gratitude that today we decided to use public transport և bicycles.

After reaching Tanjung Benoit, we were dropped off at Pandava Beach, a beach full of local boats rented for sailing, and some even offered us a trip to Kriya Island for 150,000, not only that, but you also rent a speedboat. For those of you who want to spend a quiet budget vacation in Tanjung Benoit, do not worry, there are many hostels (but mostly 3-star hotels և more…) there are many Alfamarts և Indomarts.

After all, we just walked to Tanjung Benoit Beach և did not rent a boat to the island for sailing or turtle travel, except that we were worried about the budget if it was too late. Ancot feeder is no longer available, because when the Ankot feeder runs out, the only way to get back to Denpasar is to take a taxi, which is quite expensive, so it is already three o'clock in the evening, so we are looking for it right away. nutrient. And we were waiting for the transfer, և it turned out that when we returned home, we went with the driver to Ankot's power supply. Like when we leave (Ancot driver thinks people are really playing on the beach right now)

The same route we took when we set off, now we turn as soon as we reach GWK, և we start waiting for the omnivorous bus to go down to zero square kilometers again, at least now we know why very few use it. In Bali. Preferring to use public transport or own vehicles, the same problem is observed in almost all other major cities in Indonesia, except that the number of public transport fleets is still small, coverage is not evenly distributed due to limited working hours. Restricted to allow the public to use this mode of public transport, which ultimately lends to many parties և rents vehicles at lower prices so that their "goods" sell well, the consumer side ultimately enjoys only false convenience because they are present. in the bill. Cities with loans, maintenance costs, chaotic march from year to year.
