Bali - Day 1

The flight took 3 hours from KL. We arrive at 1.45pm, our taxi driver Nyoman Suastika was already waiting for us at the airport. He took us to Jimbaran for a seafood lunch. At lunch we were serenaded with a musical beach band. Lunch was good, we manage to take some pics before it started to pour.



The next our taxi driver took us around the city of Kuta. I find it looks a lot like Patong Beach, very westernize to cater for the tourist. There's a big mall there can't remember the name and in it I saw Krispy Kreme...yummy, we didn't have time to stop :(. Next we visited the place where the 1st Bali Bomb took place. The place now has changed and evolved so much with lots of new shops for shopping. After that we took a slow drive up to our hotel in Ubud...journey takes about 1.5 hours.

Our taxi driver is really friendly and nice. If you need a guide and a taxi driver, do call him - he's very good. Mobile: 081-338 701962 Email: nyomansuastika@yahoo.com or you can check out his website too http://nyoman-suastika.tripod.com/index.html

We checked in at 6pm, showered and then took the shuttle out to the town. Most of the shops were close by 8, found a really nice cafe to have dinner. I had the nasi campur and he had curry chicken but balinese style, quite yummy.
