Pictures from Bali

Have been super busy trying to move back into our newly renovated place, plus unpack the house, that plus the Little One was hosptialised for wheezing (thankfully he is now discharged.. more of that in another post).

So, to follow on from my earlier post on our holiday in Bali. Here are the pictures.. well not all, just some of the ones i tot were really nice:)

Okay-Day 1/2
We took KLM to Bali.. pls remind me never to fly that carrier again. Even though it was a full service carrier, their service was definately not as "full" as i thought it would be. Nevertheless, it was a late afternoon flight at 4pm to Bali and the Little One was cranky like hell on board cos he had skipped his afternoon nap. Note to self - never book that flight time again. Luckily there were cartoons on board to entertain him a bit. But it was certainly a struggle trying to hold him still and getting him to cooperate when we had to fasten his seat belt.

So, by the time we arrived in Bali it was close to 8-9pm. Hence no pictures.

Day 2-Playing in Intercon!
Becos we got a cheap deal on KLM(perhaps that was the mistake!) we decided to splurge on a really nice hotel resort. After some research, we decided on Intercontinental Jimbaran Bay and upgraded ourselves to a Singaraja Room so that we have more space for boy to run around. It was definately a good choice cos the room was very spacious(sorry no photo cos forgot to take). And the hotel is very kids friendly with lots of open green ground for kids to play and a kiddies club which offered programmes at a reasonable rate. Here's the Littele One at the hotel playground doing a peekaboo with mummy!

Day 3 - Tour of Tanah Lot
After a day of resting in the hotel and getting over our flight experience, we called up the trusty Mr Suri tour guide whom was recommended by the Big One's parents. Not bad! He managed to do a tour for us at really last minute notice (we only called the night before after we determined that we should go visit a few places). We requested for 2 half day tours, bearing in mind the Little One's need for naps. So for the first tour, Mr Suri brought us to the Tanah Lot temple, which is a temple built on a cliff to worship the sea. The view was fantasic!



After the tour, we went back to the hotel for a nap(all of us) and in the afternoon, decided to catch the famous Jimbaran sunset. One of the reasons why we choose to stay in Intercon was also becos it had a private stretch of beach so we figurered it would be nice and Boy were we right! Here's me and the Little One at the sunset ....

Day 4- Uluwatu

After a hearty breakfast, Mr Suri picked us up from the hotel and took us on a longer drive, south of Bali to a place called Uluwatu. Another temple, this one was built in the 16th century and was also to worship the sea. There are also monkeys in the nature reserve leading up to the temple. Like most places in Bali, in order to get to the sight, there is a lot of walking and climbing involved so trust me, both of us adults were exhausted by the time we reach the vantage point to catch the best view.

And that afternoon, we decided to brave the beaches and brought the Little One on a small expedition on the sand. He didn't quite like it and was giving us werid looks all the time.

Mummy had the chance to play a bit with the sand while the Big One and kid went out to the waves!

Day 5 - Easter Sunday

The hotel kids club organised a Easter Sunday Egg hunt for all the kids staying in the resort. It was really nice cos we got a personalised letter of inviation to join in! Decided that it would be nice for Justin to enjoy a Easter sunday so we accompanied him to the party. Must say that the staff put in a lot of effort in it cos there were a string of activies from egg painting, to egg and spoon races and finally the egg hunt and food! The Big One was game enough to bring the Little One on a egg and spoon race and it was loads of fun!

That afternoon, we did a spot of shopping for some gifts at Kuta. The Big One really enjoyed our holiday and Bali and we hope that the next visit we can perhaps stay in Kuta.

Day 6-Last day

We didn't do anything much :) just wanted to enjoy the rest of our stay so we spend the time at the pool and the beach. So one last shot of the beach and us...leaving our footprints behind!

Till the next vacation!
