Bali Part 1 :)

So, as most of you know - if you've been following my twitter, I have just returned from the land of Bali , Indonesia. :)

The duration of my stay was 6 days, and I did have an enjoyable time there.

Granted, I wasn't used to not having much to do except lounge around or shop, but the feeling was a welcome break from all the emotional turmoil I seem to bring upon myself all the time.

THE FLIGHT .

It was a refreshingly short flight - 3hours. All I can say about it was that it was quite enjoyable, as we had Forrero Rocher - MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE , and tiny tubs of vanilla Haagen Daaz ice cream. Forgive me for sounding like a child, but I do find joy in the simplest things. Vanilla ice-cream is my favourite.

We arrived in Denpasar airport & met my mother's sister (&family) after collecting our luggages. A man holding up our villas name greeted us at the entrance, and shuttled us all to the villa.

Mommy brought so many empty luggages. Can you imagine, 7 of us had to travel in TWO shuttle buses? :)

THE VILLA .

My reaction when I first steeped into the Villa was - okay this is the lobby ; where then do I stay ? When my dad told me we had the whole place to ourselves, I gave in to my inner bimbo and just went OMG OMG OMG all the way.

Example .

"OMG THERES A POOL"

"OMG THERES A JACUZZI NEXT TO THE POOL"

"OMG WE ARE ABOVE A KOI POND"

"OMG THERE ARE CANOPY BEDS"

"OMG WE HAVE OUR OWN PERSONAL CLEANERS & CHEF"

& ... you get the point .

The Villa was beautiful - TV's situated everywhere, vast open spaces, beautiful water features, our own bar, etc. Will post up pictures in the next post :) Forgive me for acting like I just came out of some well, but I definitely am unaccustomed to living the high life.

It was a treat for all of us. Considering the fact that there were 7 of us, and also all the luxuries we had - the price we paid was pretty reasonable. 599 US dollars a night.

The pictures above are what we did on the - second day, I think. It was night when we arrived. Boat ride, beach, turtle farming? I personally felt a twinge of guilt upon seeing all the turtles being cooped up like that - and we were encouraging them by visiting. But at least they were in the beach and they weren't selling eggs - not in the open , at least.

It's dusk, and I should sleep now. I promise I'll continue, and with more updates on what I've been up to lately! When I have a life-I just have no mood to blog :)
