Finally got time to blog about my Bali Trip during my sem break! WOOHOO!!!
It was definitely an unforgettable trip with my darling! YES!! I'm super duper thankful to her to acc me for the last minutes even though she was so so so POOR! Love u heaps!!
This was my first time sign for ground tour and honestly I always loved Free & Easy because I can go wherever i want without any time constraint so it took me quite a while to consider whether to plan myself or follow the tour. One of the reason also because I got no time to plan from the beginning.
AND THE OUTCOME TURN OUT TO EXTREMELY GOOD! I'M SO GLAD THAT I SIGN UP THIS TOUR! BECAUSE IT HELPED ME SAVE A LOT! =)
Okay, how much do i spent for the whole trip? I booked my zero fare ticket from AA for RM186 return and the whole trip I spent around 1k included my own expenses! This is super duper cheap because it included so much things for the ground tour!
Here are few tips to travel in a budget way at Bali and i hoped it helps those who wish to go there. Especially with small number in a group =)
1. If you wish you go all the main attraction and it's your first time there, I would suggest you to go for ground tour because it can help you save a lot.
2. Transportation in Bali is so not convenient and to rent a car plus driver it is at least RM150+ per day, if you are travel at 2 like me, you will have to spend a lot. (not include a tour guide also, but the driver there is kinda experience)
3. All the main attraction are not in a area but in few different area so it takes time to reach those destination.
4. If you just want to chill and relax, then go for free & easy dont go for ground tour =D
As hee hee depart earlier one night than me so she overnight at the airport and waited for me! Plus my flight delayed for more than 1 hour! SIGH!! So sorry my dear let you grew mushroom there! HAHA
Bali international airport had just done their renovation and it was BIG!
There were so many people taking a paper and I was very excited to see my name on the paper! First time ever got people welcome me at another country =)
*I can easily spot my guide because he was the most colourful guide in the crowd! HAHAHA
WOOHOO finally met her after so long! Sorry for the delayed! It was AA's fault ok ? HEHE
It was our first trip together HAHAHA and she said she acc her 2 sisters went to the same place continuously for 2 years! Last year was with Amelia and now with me! =D
Oh HELLO BALI! Got free flower necklace as our welcome gift!
SO NICE!! Oh did I forgot to mention that the ground tour included everything only excluded my shopping fees? Too Awesome!
He was our driver, so yeah this was our car for the entire trip! We felt like a princess! OMG! Got a tour guide and a driver to take care of us! Open the door for me every time and we no longer need to worry nobody helped us to take photo! HAHAHA
Too excited OMG!! it was 2 in the afternoon when I reached
Then we proceed to Hotel and check in =)
Yes, stayed at Everyday Smart Hotel because it was the cheapest in the ground tour list! HAHAHA
Kinda comfortable and got ASTRO also =)
But no swimming pool which was a good thing because we wont stay in the pool
It's our Free & Easy time before our guide - Abang Gusting picked us up for dinner and souvenirs shopping. So we rest awhile and went out the street to explore. Our hotel was located at Kuta Area. The most happening area in Bali! HEHEHE
Hello from Bali =)
we were too hungry as I only had my breakfast so we decided to have the authentic mee cup in Bali.
2 sakai asked the shopkeeper which mee cup the nicest HAHAHA!
After exploring then we proceed to Oleh-Oleh (Their souvenirs shop)
We only got half an hour to shop here and there were too much things there! That's the only time I shop for souvenirs in a rush =.=
Then, we went for dinner at a chinese restaurant, and we were like booked the whole restaurant to become ours! OMG!! Kinda worry for the food but it turned out to pretty nice!
Yes, the dinner for 2 of us! One of the thing about ground tour was that there were alot of surprises await you because you got no idea where you are going to eat and what kind of food will you have!
The 2 princess were having dinner while the driver and guide waited at outside! HAHAHA!
I felt so paiseh because I don't like people to wait for me like this @@
Finished dinner then we backed to hotel at 8 sth.
THE NIGHT WAS STILL YOUNG! =D
So, we wanted to walked to the beach even though we donno at where and without a map. The receptionist told us that it was just 15-20 minutes walk to the beach so we didn't hesitate just walked.
Played around with our free gift - sarong
FOC of the ground - 1 local sim card, a sarong each and 1 hour body massage each =D
And during halfway, I got attracted by a beautiful restaurant in a small alley so we had lost our way to the beach! So, at last we still reached the beach. But it's not Kuta Beach, it's Legian Beach! HAHAHA
It was so dark on the beach but it was super super beautiful!!!So many dazzling stars on the sky!
See how tall we were! HEHEHE
Attracted by the corn and the sauce was so special!
Went to Circle K to buy beer and chill on the beach! So long we didn't talk like this!
We talked for hours until 12 midnight and just realised we forgot how the way back to hotel =0
We just kept walking and asked the people there but nobody knew where was our hotel @@'' because Bali got too many hotel! So RMB guys, rmb the street name but not the hotel name.
Was quite worry that time but luckily I remembered I got tag location while I uploaded photo to Instagram! Thank God!
Then, we stopped in front a mamak stall and asked the seller how to go to that place.
THEN THEN THEN, an uncle who tapao food there said he lived in that area and offered us a free ride back to hotel! OMG!
Yes! 3 of us ride on his bike and he sent us home!! And it was 1 something in the midnight =0 I can't imagine how long we gonna take if we walked home!
Yes, thanks uncle Bernard! It's awesome to meet so many kind people in a trip!
Truly blessed!
That's all for day 1!
To Be Continue!
