my lil piece of paradise : intro

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...
