Bliss in Bali: Day 1


28 May 2011

Departed from LCCT around 11.10am. Bali was somewhat how i would have imagined it to be. Sunny, busy with people, etc. The first day itself proved not to be a disappointment.

We went to this temple in Uluwatu - famous for its monkeys. Apparently they are trained to steal / snatch peoples glasses, necklaces, cameras or anything dangling from your body. The monkeys are sort of owned by these people and to retrieve your belongings, you must pay a certain fee (which can go up to rP200000). I witnessed a few snatches, but thankfully i was never the victim.


Another memorable place we visited was in the evening. Kuta Beach is the most romantic place i have been to thus far. Sandy beaches, gentle waves, beautiful sunset, breezy weather, dinner on the shore with lighted candles under the starry sky, a delicious meal... it was everything i could dream off. No doubt if any guy proposed to the woman of his dreams here, chances of getting a "yes" would shoot up by 50%, even if it wasnt 100% probability in the first place. I definitely want to come back here with my future ...


Went back to the 4.5 star hotel - Hotel Bali Rani. Not bad. Check it out. Crystal clear pool, with a lake and verandah in the centre of the hotel, clean and well-decorated rooms.
