Bali, Indonesia - Day 1

Our Bali Trip....

Last 26 of June 2008, hubby and me went to Indonesia, Bali for vacation. We were there for 6 days and 5 nights, and we stayed in 3 different hotels plus we used the services of 3 different drivers.

The day before we left we were running around finding for money changer, last minuet shopping for things to be brought along. We got home around 2.30 am in the morning cause we were at the cyber cafe looking for hotels for lodging, the reason why we didn’t book a hotel earlier was because a friend of ours and her partner wanted to come along but last minute they could not make it. That’s why but any how’s it was all good. Hmm…to know the whole story keep on reading….

Day one.

Our flight form LCCT, Kuala Lumpur was at 11.00 am. We woke up around 5 am to pack, the night before we were working and busy with all the arrangement so we could not pack. We left our house around 8 am took a cab to Gombak Putra Terminal station, from there we took the train all the way to KL Central and took the bus to LCCT. Our journey was about 2 hours to LCCT and another 2 hours to Bali by flight.

We arrived at Denpasar, Bali Indonesia at 2 plus, and when we got off everyone had a drive waiting for them with names and all. But we were like looking high and low for hotels, at the airport itself there were many shelves where they put all kinds of brochures for tourist. But sadly there were no brochures for hotels, so we walked out got our luggage’s and walked to the entrances. There was a counter for hotel bookings how lucky we were to get a room during peak season, we got a room at Simpang Inn exactly in Kuta area. The hotel was only 2 star standard but it was OK since it was only going to be for one day, below are the picture of the hotel.

The first day we arrived we didn’t do anything much as we were really tired, so we just went out for dinner at MAXI. Hubby was brave and curious enough to try their local delicacy, which to tell you the truth it wasn't bad at all then we did a little window shopping then straight back to the hotel. The hotels view at night was very cozy and warmth despite being a bit scary and dark.
