Just a short & sweet report from my trip to Bali.
Left last Friday morning the 4am flight from Perth on Air Asia. Well for the price what do you expect really ?? The legroom is pretty non-existant, wouldnt like to be too tall really, but for 3hrs 40mins I suppose I can deal with it. Didnt have any sleep there or back.
Stayed with my husband at the Dynasty in a Deluxe room (second floor, north wing) Lovely room, enough room & nice bathroom & nice big bed. Breakfast lovely, usual standard foods plus noodles, rice etc. Stayed here as we went with our friends who have a 2 year old, if it was myself and my husband, I probably wouldnt stay there, just due to not being able to get seats by the pool for relaxing, just too many families. But really we only did one day of pool swimming. For Families, its just a great hotel. Food & drink at hotel is reasonably priced and very tasty and good sized so you dont mind paying for what you get.
Went to Waterbom, after 8 times of going to Bali, we finally went !! Great day of fun to be honest, husband even made me to Smash Down and Race!!
Went to Safari, got it for $29USD per person at MBE stand just past Dynasty but before Waterbom on same side, nice friendly guys there. Would highly recommend Bali Safari, good value and very nicely done up.
Only a little bit of shopping, one Jimmy Choo handbag medium size for 135k, one large overnight Guess bag for 160k. Couple of dresses for around the pool at 30k and nice top for 25k. Husband paid 30k for fake afl singlets & b/bong. Plus 50k for b/bong leather belts.
Went to Geneva bought some items but then went to Unagi - as an avid Geneva lover, I must say that I think Unagi is a lot better, but annoying that there is no prices on the items. Also picked up some canvas paintings here, just nice not having to bargain for them.
Disappointed tried to find Tupperware shop but couldnt find it - is it anywhere near Golden Buffalo ?? Anyway, we gave up and went home.
Used Febris spa on 3 ocassions. I am not a off the street manicure or pedicure sort of person so dont mind paying the higher prices to have it done in a nice surrounding. Very clean and the girls are nice. Although stay there as long as you can to have your nails and toes dry, mine smudged twice :(
Airport on arrival, only took 40 mins max to get off plane and get outside. Airport on departure - wow thats definitely gotten a lot more busier so we arrived at airport at 10.30pm and didnt get through to the gate till 11.30pm, only really had 20mins spare before boarding.
Bali feels alot nicer to be honest, not so crazy, stallholders are not so pushy, the streets feel safe (lots of police and milatry presence) and there is no Bali smell anymore !! Maybe not so many people smoking Gudangs cigarattes or maybe the drains have been cleaned up/rubbish being removed quicker (is that only me that noticed this?)
Anyway, just thought I would share my 5 day break which was definitely not long enough !!
