my legs may be wobbly
but my arms will hold you tight

Besakih Temple : also known as the 'mother' temple of Bali

Besakih Temple : the awe-inspiring temple architecture..

Besakih Temple : this man was on his way to his prayers...he was so kind to stop for me to take a pic while he wobbles wobbles..wobbles wobbles...

Besakih Temple : this little girl was sooo cute....i asked the mum if i can take a pic of em and before u know it the small one was already smiling like no tomorrow for me lol...this is what that makes the island special...its every endearing and beautiful ppl ;)

Besakih Temple : at the foot of an architecture marvel

The Kunja : entering paradise~

The Kunja : all of us were left speechless!

The Kunja : the sprawling splendour of each bathroom

The Kunja : I did say 'sprawling' didnt I ?

The Kunja : the wedding chapel that mel discovered

The Kunja : breakfast @ The Kunja, prepared by our picnic basket totting personal chef!

The Kunja : what a great way to start each and every morning ! mel made sure they gave us extra bacons!

The Kunja : this is truly a haven

The Kunja : the ultimate comfort of 'home' while in Bali

The Kunja : give me kunja or give me death!

Febris : the first night was spent at Febris Hotel cos mel said better for budget if we going to stay our last 2-3 nights at The Kunja. Febris itself was impressive offering palatial comforts.

Kuta Beach : the famed Kuta beach but its most unfortunate that this trip to Bali, beach-ing wasn't an important itinerary BUT it only gives me a reason to return to Bali...as if i needed a reason..

Royal Mengwi Temple : thanks to pyee who is always a big fan of snooping up to ppl & taking their pics...this is the group of Jap photog-tourists that we encountered...you can tell they were dead serious about their hobbies!

Pura Danau : another favourite shot of mine, a shining beacon of light.

magnificent paddy field around Ubud.

Royal Mengwi Temple : amazing architecture.

Pura Tanah Lot : hahaha doesn't this sculpture looks like it is enjoying the sun?

and so the long awaited Bali trip has arrived...i was too excited to care about the spread of flu...i just wanted to leave and savour what the island of gods has to offer...and it clearly didnt disappoint!

upon reaching the airport, i leaned across my sleeping sis (much to her annoyance) and looked out...i see nothing but blue, blue n blue....and more blue....i was ecstatic!

mr wayan, our extremely friendly and accommodating guide was engaged as i was traveling with family. we were whisked away to Febris hotel which has hugeeee rooms with a bathrooms that come with attached bathtubs and peckyee told me this was the economical one that we are staying in for one night...i wonder what luxurious would be...i felt abit kampung...

we arrived quite late in the afternoon and after checking in and making tour arrangements with wayan, we headed to the famous jimbaran bay for seafood dinner....we were there around 5 something in the evening and it was truly a sight to behold...dinner was great....the grilled seafood was not as fantastic as those back in Klang but they were fresh...we enjoyed our dinner while the sun sets in the horizon....it almost felt like i was home..lol

the pictures above and bottom are taken during the sunset at Jimbaran Bay...

after dinner we headed to kuta for a brief walkabout as we were leaving to The Kunja the next morning...the island has such a romantic atmosphere to it....i couldn't find any stark fluorescent light anywhere except for the inside of the many stalls...many hotels are hidden behind these row of stalls....which was pretty funny as I have always associated dark alleys with all things crimes thus imagine my surprise when i kept seeing tourists-looking people appearing and disappearing...in between shops/stalls...

Next up, sightseeing around Bali...
