Went on a family trip to Bali from 13-17Nov. Although the weather was extreme, scorching hot this moment and heavy downpour the next, we enjoyed it very much, at least for me. I had hoped we can all stay there permanently, in the villa that is.
Us at the airport. Ordered a low calorie meal which wasn't very nice.
Our villa. (Night) Reached the villa at around 9+pm so didn't really get to see how the villa looks like.
 Our villa (Day). It's really quite a good villa. 3 rooms, 1 living, 1 dining, 1 kitchen (with chef) and a swimming pool. I really wouldn't mind just lazing around in the villa, not doing anything, not going anywhere.


Day 1. Had inhouse breakfast done by the inhouse chef. She suggested doing buffet style so we had mee goreng, fried rice, eggs. Mee goreng wins.

Day 1 intinery was visit to the beach. On the way to the beach, shopping along the way. Just exploring around.

The beach. Nice with huge waves.

Dinner time. Before dinner was a good 2 hrs massage. Balinese and foot massage. It was so-so. Order for dinner was some grilled seafood. Sambal kangkong wins.


After dinner was swimming time! Or rather play water time. -_- Our darling was soooooo happy! We concluded he must have been a fish to love water soooooo much.

Our nightly affair. Bought bath salt and soak every night. So missing it!


Day 2. Breakfast was french toast. Yummy. Itinery was, batik, temple, volcano, wood and beach.

The place where they produce batik. Bought beach scarves. Hopefully they won't be cold storaged forever.


At some temple I don't know what it is called. Since we are all in shorts which is not desirable, we were all given sarong to wrap round.

Not forgetting shopping of course! Here we bought a few bags, a hat, slippers, singlet. Pretty cheap. For the same hat, ang mos pay IDR 80,000 but for me, IDR 35,000.


Playing in the van. Isn't our little darling uber cute with my sunglasses?

Lunch was at the volcano. Buffet with lots of houseflies. Was raining so the breeze was quite chilly. The only time we felt cold in Bali.


Wood sculpture. Really admire them. Personal favourite is the Speak, See and Hear no evil!
Dinner by the beach. Caught the sunset. Beautiful. Food was so-so though.
Some black and white pictures i took. I thought they are quite nice considering the limitations of my digicam. Personal favourite is the picture in the middle!
The food we had. Calamari wins.
More night swimming.
Here's our companions for the nights. Another nightly affair. Beer, crackers, playing cards and scrabble. Never played so much scrabble before.
Day 3. Sandwiches and fries for breakfast. The way the sandwiches were done was pretty impressive. Even mum thinks it's good. Itinery was, monkey forest, temple in the lake and echo beach.
Monkey forest. Initially sis said she read that even though it's called Monkey forest, there's no monkeys one. BUT!!! She's so wrong!! There were sooooooo many monkeys ALL OVER the place!!! There wasn't alot of pictures taken. Simple reason, I was too busy watching out for monkeys. Really quite scary.
Temple in the lake. Great scenery but a pity was raining so pictures were kinda ruined with us carrying the umbrella. We could have taken alot more pictures!! POUT!

Some temple also but due to high tide we can't enter.

Dinner at echo beach. Caught the sunset again. Bali is just about beaches, sunsets, more beaches and more sunsets?
Food was quite ok. LOBSTERS WIN!!
Day 4 - last day. Finally had time for morning swim. Little wayne swims every morning and night. Fully utilised. But me and mei couldn't wake up in time every morning due to scrabble till late night.
Lunch was inhouse. Didn't want to travel too much since we have a flight to catch in the evening so might as well spend more time in the villa. Not too bad. That auntie can cook quite well.
Last few hours before we leave for the airport. Did last min foot massage.
Time to say goodbye to Bali and back to reality. =( I miss our bali villa already!!!!
