Bali Island, June 2012.

Assalam to all readers,

This time I would like to share an experience of my family and I travelling to Bali Island last year. 

Kuta here we come.

The trip was properly organized by Ibu and I since the trip required air transportation. As usual for Malaysian, we chose cheapest airline; Air Asia.

Ibu and Adin

Ayah and Yong

We began our journey from Ipoh as early as half past 5 in the morning. We took the earliest ETS to KL Sentral. Then we jumped onto ERL onbound to KLIA. Next we moved to LCCT via shuttle bus. That morning was so rushing for us just to be sure we were able to fly to Bali Island on time.

Yong felt asleep on ETS

They wonder why they must hitch another train.

Adin nice shot on ERL

Adin still wonder why this time he must be on bus.

We reached Bali Island at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was perfect to get leisure around Kuta town. I've made booking at Kuta Paradiso Hotel - a not-so-expensive-but-good hotel for budget traveller like us.

Nice pose at hotel lobby.

Hostel-type bed arrangement

They understood Indo TV programme.

We were aware about Bali Island and there are few things I would like to share with fellow readers about the Island:

• Bali is the island of Goddess - Natives of Bali Island are Hindu eventhough their faces are "serumpun" lookalike. So, don't simply praise Assalamualaikum to Bali people.
• Please look for Minang restaurants as your main eatery place. The restaurants are the only HALAL restaurant available in Bali Island.
• Be nice with cabbies - They'll surely bring you to interesting places with affordable charge.

On our 1st night, we met a cabby at hotel lobby. He brought us to a beautiful dinner place. The restaurant cooked HALAL foods (seafood). The most interesting about the restaurant were its location; just few steps from beach of Bali Sea and they had live show - freaking Bali dancing show which my family and I only dare to see female dancers instead of the "haunted" one.

Lovely teeteesh....

No further comment - too delicious.

On the 2nd day the cabby brought us to do window shopping at Batik megastore in Nusa Dua and he also brought us having lunch at Restoran Natrabu; a Minang restaurant.

Done with our lunch we asked bapak cabby bringing us to Legian Bombing Monument and Hard Rock Cafe boutique.

And before we returned to hotel, we took a walk to Matahari Plaza, looking for goodies and souvenirs for relatives and buddies. 

In a nutshell, trip to Bali Island was so memento for us. All of us happy during our stay there and we look forward to be there again next time. 
Love Bali.... from us.
