Bali Getaway ~ 26-30 November 2009

5D4N getaway to Bali was a well-needed break. So much for hearing how pretty the place it is but I didn’t think it was actually that impressive afterall. Very run-down kinda place, I find. Forgetting abt the initial disappointment, our 1st pleasant surprise was a FOC upgrade from pool villa to suite villa at Rama Beach resort! I guess I have the luck with FOC upgrades at hotels & resorts since this is the 3rd time already… hahaha… We had exclusive VIP service throughout our stay there. Shiok! I love the villa so much that I think I can just laze around the whole day. =p

Overall, the trip was not too bad with my 1st experience out in the deep sea & I mean literally bobbing up & down in the middle of sea (I’m a non-swimmer & have a slight phobia of deep waters). Snorkelling, banana boat ride & kayaking was fun! The 1 day land tour was not too bad either. Visits to the few interesting places such as the volcano, monkey forest, spice garden, watching sunset at Tanah Lot & seafood at Jimbaran made the trip a more memorable one. If u are looking to shop, it’s not reali a good choice cos there’s not much to buy. Clubbing at Legian area was also an eye-opener. The club is filled with ang-mohs & so damn happening!

But I find that expenses there are exorbitant & the weather is simply too hot! Just few steps out under the sun & I’m perspiring like mad! Massages are cheap though. The one we went was slightly expensive but a full body massage only costs around S$14 so still worth it. =p

Now that I’ve been & seen Bali for myself but I don’t think I will be there again. Nevertheless, it was a experience for me & quality time spent. =)
