2014 - BALI, INDONESIA - Percutian a.k.a Vacation PART 1

0 Comments


Our flight to Bali was scheduled at 0750 a.m MYT. Actually, our original flight at 8.30 a.m was cancelled and moved to this new time slot. Since they are combining 2 flights, we flew on a 777 instead of the usual 737.

3 hours later we arrived at Ngurah rai International Airport. This airport is brand new, very comfortable. Imigration was a breeze and Eddy, our Supir was ready outside with a sign card with my name on it. "Ibu Nadia". 
We straight away went for lunch at Wong Solo. It offers the famous Ayam Penyet delicacies from Java.  Okay, padahal lat Malaysia bukan main banyak WS, nak jugak lat sini kan. Bagi Nadia, sambal WS lat sini lagi menyengat. 
We checked into our hotel. We made the right choice. Our hotel was stunning and stupendous! We booked the Interconnecting Ocean View Room. Totally worth the price we paid! It can be said its one of the best hotel I have ever stayed. We have an extra bed in our room and it comes with all the amenities.
                                
 The view and the King Size bed!
After prayers and a quick breather, we went to 2 beaches in Bali - Pandawa and Padang-Padang beach. The journey here took approximately 45 minutes from our hotel We wanted to go to Dreamland beach, however due to the steep staircase down the hill, our Supir advices us not to since my parents will have a hard time scaling down. Eddy is a very cheerful and awesome guy! He tells jokes and never ever he takes us on a touristy place.

The beach shuttle
One does not simply drive to the Padang-Padang Beach. You have to park your car at a designated parking area and hop on a mini van/ shuttle to the beach. It cost very cheap for the shuttle service. Padang-Padang offers huge waves - okay in malaysia we don't have this kind of 5 ft wave crashing to our beach. Red flag was up to indicate no swimming since the tides are swelling that evening. Nevertheless, the view itself is breathtaking. It was something you won't see in Malaysia. With a grilled corn on my hand and coconut water on the other, I am ecstatic to be there.


We then proceed to the very famous and well known Uluwatu Temple. It is situated on top of a hill. Parking is horrible - thank God for the Supir. We arrived there at dusk and there is Kechak Dance being performed. I don't watch the dance since we are busy looking at the 100ft cliff drop and busy running away from monkeys. Yes, monkeys are too friendly to tourist, be careful of your belongings please.

Sunset at Uluwatu
Well, it is IMPOSSIBLE to leave Bali without Spa Session! Bila lagi nak pamper kan diri ni. When we got back from Uluwatu, we ate some light dinner (read: Maggi) and went on to our Spa treatment at Bali Collection, which is a shopping mall in Nusa Dua.

The spa was called the Ocean and Tropic Spa – recommended by Kakak who went to Bali 1 week ahead of us. Me, Ibu, Mak and Kak Jaja book the couple treatment consists of 2 hours, 5 treatments for USD100 per pax. They arranged a pick up service from our hotel. The spa is beautiful, clean, staff are friendly and I receive good massage there. Although, I would gladly went for just the massage without other treatments.
