Bali Trip


Yes, it has been a week since I 'm back from my trip and ppl have been asking for photos on it. We took quite a lot bit of pics when there but it's impossible to post everything, will only post some.

As mentioned in my previous blog, we are supposed to stay in the lagoon villa ( as shown above). However, when we reached there, all the lagoon villas that are located along the pool were occupied so they allocated us one which was on the far end of the pool. Though it was also direct access to the pool at doorstep but fussy Dawn refused to settle for less except the one they posted on their website so we asked for a change of room. In then end, they gave us a upgrade to honeymoon villa at an special price at only US75/nite. This was really a steal coz the honeymoon villa alone costs US350/nite and our lagoon villa is only US120/night.

A blessing in disguise, we ended up staying in this honeymoon villa. It comes with a exclusive private pool where u can do nude swimming (kidding), a nice bathroom (w sunken bath) that direct access to the pool. It's hard to put them in words so we captured a video on it. Enjoy !! It's really a splurge to stay there..and we gald we get the chance to stay there at this affordable price !.. but please read on for more on our lodging adventure there ...

On the second day, they "moved" us back to the lagoon villa but we make sure we moved back to the villa that we wanted and they kept their promise. The lagoon villa was just as nice as it was posted on their website. We can jump out directly from the pool at our doorstep with the bed is on the second floor ...
Lippy enjoyed his legs dipped at our door step.Again, we do another video on the lagoon villa.

In the late afternoon, we went for a 2hr spa followed by a flying gurume dinner. that's end our second day in Bali.

On third day, we have planned a series of activities lined up for us. We went to nusa dua for water sport. We both tried the parasailing, went to the turtle island to see some "friends" there.

A python was hung around brave Lippy .. eek

I get to witness bat for the first time... eeeek
Here's some pics of our parasailing experiences, Nah too small to see indeed. After a tiring morning activities, we decided to settle for another 2 hr of spa to energise ourselves followed by a sumptuous seafood dinner @ jimbaran (once bomb site) witnessing the sunset at the same time.


When we reached our lagoon villa, just as we were heading for bed, we realised the air con in our second deck was not working, we again called them up to check. They told us it was faulty and will upgrade a jacuzzi villa for us. We went to check out that villa but again fussy Dawn dont really like it so we requested for other superior villa and dun mind paying the upgrade. In the end, we were offered a dexule villa (a big one with private pool)and as a kind gesture , they upgraded us foc !! They are really nice ppl.
Again, we took a video on the third villa we stayed in our 4 nights in Bali.

We took a pics by the pool of our villa

On 4th day, we went to monkey island not much to see except monkeys ..

Then to Ubud , a handicraft village and Lippy get to taste the worst banana split in his life. Again, not much to see as we are not really into those handicraft stuffs.



We went tanah lot to witness the temple build on the cliff. Nice Place .. but tooo hot ... thereafter we went to Kota for some shopping but was disappointed to find the shopping there were really not much unlike tokyo .. so we didnt buy much :(


That night, we went for some spanish resturant for another sumptuous dinner. With that, it ended our 5d4N Bali trip. Overall, we find the villa was nice but weather is too hot and polluted air and was disappointed at the shopping malls there. Hence, overall rating for this trip : ** out of 5
