Dolphins tour

Breakfast @Lilin Lovina Beach Hotel

Gitgit Waterfall

Pura Besakih

Lunch with friends

Denpasar Airport

Here comes the last bit of our 10 days Bali trip. The only reason for us to travel a long way to the northern part of the island was watching the dolphins. Someone may not think that it is worthy, but having a chance to live in a villa that I love (I planned to book it once I saw the reviews and pictures of it online!) and enjoy a quite night in a lovely cafe (was highly recommended on TripAdvisor), it made our long journey there worthwhile.

We woke up at 4-ish that morning. The villa was completely quite and I guess we were the only guess who planned to watch the dolphins that day. Our tour guide drove us to the pier by motorcycle. We were both thrilled getting there in quite a speedy move.

We were able to meet the host early in the morning going down for breakfast. Surprisingly, she was also the chef cooking a special homemade pancakes for us! As Mulawarman Guesthouse is a family run business (I guess), the small scale brought us and the guests there together. We chit-chatted during breakfast time, sharing our travelling experience around Bali or even other places. Though we only stayed there for one night, we could feel the warm and welcoming atmosphere there.

Bali getaway Day 1

9/8/2015

Have been waiting for this Bali trip for long. Became more and more impatient seeing so many of my friends and colleagues posting their photos travelling in different parts of the world during summer holidays, and finally, IT'S MY TURN!

Went to Tsim Sha Tsui exchanging some rupiah. My friend told me there's one called Singapore offering good rate to CX cabin crews and I got 1:1690 the day before I off to go to Bali. Not worth to queue for long at Berlin in Central with more or less the same rate which saved me plenty of time.

Flight schedule: (Airasia: HKD1963/ person)
1320- 1710 AK135 (Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur)
2025- 2325 AK555 (Kuala Lumpur to Denpasar)
2120- 0020 AK555 (Denpasar to Kuala Lumpur)
0710- 1105 KA1348 (Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong)

Itinerary of today:

HK Airport
Lunch @Plaza Premium Lounge
KL transit
Tea @Plaza Premium Lounge
Free pick up to hotel (by friend)
Grandmas Hotel Seminyak 

It was way less rigid travelling during summer holidays. Had some light food as breakfast on the airport bus and it seemed so quick getting to the airport in the morning. Our routine again, getting the boarding passes, went to Page One to get the complimentary copy of magazines/ newspaper for free using the DBS credit card. Thought that would be able to get an extra one in Relay for HKD1 like last time we did using Standard Charter credit card but the promotion had come to an end. 

Bali getaway - preparation

This long Bali getaway was just amazingly perfect! Just fall in love with this fabulous place and couldn't help to write about it even though I haven't finished writing about the Sabah trip! For Hong Kongese it's usually just a place to spend for less then 5 days but when I browsed through all the blogs and information online, a bit more time is definitely needed to explore this lovely Island. Since Lawrence got injured and with his finger wrapped up with a pin through his bones, surely options other than water sports were picked, and hopefully and do something like rafting and diving in our next visit.
