My Trip to Bali, Indonesia

Period : 30th August - 3rd September 2017

★ Flight : Malaysia Airlines
Price ¥44,000 (RM) Osaka-KL-Bali
Review : I had a layover in Kuala Lumpur. The flight to Malaysia was quite sparse. I had a whole row to myself, which was great. All of the flights were fine and left on time.
(It is crazy to me that tickets to Bali were cheaper than to KL which would have been the shorter journey. What gives? *shrugs*)

★ Accommodation : Bali Breeze Bungalows
View of our private pool and the lush greenery of the compound from the 2nd floor bedroom

Price : IDR 2,850,000 for 3 nights inclusive of breakfast served at our villa
Review : We stayed for 3 nights in the Main House. It was a beautiful little oasis for us. The beds were comfy and the whole place was very clean. The breakfast each morning of our choice of fruits and various eggs/pancakes was delicious; a great way to start the day. Ketut and the staff were polite and super friendly. The property is only a 5 minute walk to central Ubud where there are tons of restaurants, spas, and money changers. All in all a great place to stay.

★Tour Guide : Dewa Alit Tours
I booked him for the whole duration of our Bali trip. The MPV was comfortable, clean and they also provide chilled bottled water for everyone. It cost USD55 for a full day, if I remember correctly. He also brought us to halal restaurants for lunch and snacks. I definitely recommend their services.

★ Extras
1. Hiking up Mt. Batur for sunrise
Price USD60/person includes guide
My sister loves to go hiking and she wanted me to experience this with her. It took around 2 hours to get to the top and it starts fairly easily and gets progressively steep so wear proper shoes and have a windbreaker ready because it was quite chilly at the top. The view was amazing! There are a lot of people on the hike so you will not get lost and there is a general upbeat vibe the whole way.

2. Jains Spa
Bali is famous for their spas so the whole family went to this spa which was recommended by our driver. The service was great and we were given delicious snacks afterwards. My body felt so relaxed. Prices range from IDR80,000~300,000.

I love Indonesian food so this whole trip was just beyond amazing for me and I will definitely come back to explore a different part of Bali!
