This is the last day of our vacation in Lombok L
so in this last day, we decided to try Lombok’s famous culinary, buy some
souvenirs, and visit to Taman Narmada.
We ate lunch at Dua Em, having their famous Ayam Taliwang.
It was great but the chicken was too small.
We continued our journey to Taman Narmada. Taman Narmada was
once a castle. King of Bali lived here thousand times a go to take over Lombok,
but didn’t succeed. This place is now a tourist attraction and open for public.
When we arrived, there was an old man welcomed us, offer to tell us the history
of this place (like a guide). We accepted the offer, but after we finished down
the whole park, he asked IDR 50,000 to my friend. I didn’t notice at that time
because I was busy buying some souvenirs. When my friend told me that she gave
him IDR 50,000. I told her it supposed to be a lot cheaper than
that. But nothing we could do. He already left.
So guys, if you wanted to use a guide here, well, I don’t
recommend it as you can google the history of this park FOR FREE.
Our driver gave us option to learn weave. He took us to Desa
Patuh, a village in Mataram, 30 mins away from airport. The patient women
taught us and guess what? It’s free! You can also learning by doing.

Weaving is
a livelihood of these locals. There are also lots of woven fabric here which
you can buy here, but since the price was more expensive than the ones in the
souvenir shop, none of us bought it.
The clock was ticking and we didn’t want to miss our
airplane so we were heading to the airport. Oh before that, we fed our stomach
worms by having Nasi Balap Puyung again. I think we already addicted to this
food :p
