BALI TRIP 2008 - A Last Holiday with Daddy

May - 2008

Our family trip for this year was to visit Bali, a world’s paradise. We started planning, booked and arranged all the preparations since early of this year and finally, that was it.. the day had came. We took a flight from LCCT, by Air Asia (luckily we managed to book tickets during free seats promotion) and we also used a travel agency service since none of us had been to Bali before. Total package price was very acceptable, affordable and worth it.

Our flight departed from KL at 10.55am and arrived at Ngurah Rai International Airport at 1.30pm, 20mins earlier than real scheduled time. We met our tourist guide, Mr Mahdi and he started to take us for tour around Denpasar City and directed to our Hotel for check in at Kuta. Kuta area is known as the heart of Bali, since the city is live and happening with most of hotels, entertainment centers and shops located there. It is the place where all tourist stay and socialite. We reached our hotel, Bali Matahari around 3pm. Mahdi let us to take a rest and will meet again around 5.30pm at lobby. What a relief, after almost 5 hours journey we finally got a chance to stretch our veins, fill our empty stomach, had a picnic at the balcony of our room, enjoyed a good foods ((bekal rendang daging from my mom) and relaxing scenery (imagine bali style of landscape) until the bed called to zzzzzz……



As promised, we met Mahdi back at 5.30pm and he brought us to jimbaran, a very romantic place where we had our dinner, witnessed an amazing sight of sunset at a sea shore and been entertained by a group of musician. The foods were very good too… Since majority of Bali people are Hindu, it’s quite hard to get “halal” foods here. Luckily again, all our meals were included in the package so we dont have to worry about it, most of foods served to us were sea food. We had a fresh grill prawn, crab and fish served with rice and mix vegetables. It was a very a wonderful panorama and I cant stop from adoring god for his fascinating creation and thankfull for the opportunity to witness it.




We went back to hotel around 8.30pm because we need to take enough rest since tomorrow will be a full day tour. However, for an energetic young woman like us (my 2 sisters and me)… malam is still MUDA. So we wondered around Kuta area, shopping junk foods and back to Hotel not very late. We did some stupid xtvt late at night which was swimming in case we don’t have time to do it later, (of course we need to utilize all the facilities here xpecially pool right.. heheeh.) Badly shaking, we went back to our room and watched TV until we felt sleepy…
End of day one.
