I have always wanted to visit Bali! But it wasn't safe in the past so yeah.. So yup, visiting Bali is like a dream-come-true to me! *feeling loved*
Anyway, we din't really do much on the first day as we arrived the airport at.... 5.30pm!
Wait, pause, before i proceed to BALI DAY ONE, lemme show ya'll my masterpiece(photos) taken during my 3 hours flight to Bali! Haha!
Upon reaching the airport, after going through all the immigrations and what-nots, we met our driver (details as below)
Name : Mr. Nyoman (contact him)
Price : 9am-9pm cost IDR350.000/RM100 (COD)
Car : Hmm.. I'm not good with the names of cars. But don't worry! It's comfy and there's AC.
More about him? I would say he is a great guy with good sense of humour. You won't get bored during the long journey in the car as he will feed you with interesting infos about Bali and joke around. Nyoman and M became bff just in... 1 day? Haha! Oh, he's very punctual as well. He's efficient and quick at replying emails :) He's great at planning the trip. If you do not have any idea at all on where to go, just email him :) He will plan it for you. Or else, you could just get my itinerary hahaha I actually planned a 4d3n trip for a couple from China as they couldn't communicate in English and Malay. *long story. will mention in my Day 2 post if i rmb* AND, the best thing about him is... HE'S A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER! *YAY* Btw, request for him or else he might send his cousin (which is equally good i heard).
M and i planned the itinerary with the driver beforehand (before we reach Bali). There's like 70+ emails (yes, i can be quite annoying when it comes to trips planning *perfectionist* I kept changing my plans) So yup, back to my BALI DAY ONE. After greeting the driver, we grabbed our dinner at Naughty Nuri's at Batubelig which is 30-45 minutes away from the airport depending on the traffic (the main branch is at Ubud)!
Naughty Nuri's Batubelig
The interior
Nachos (it was soggy :( )
Homemade Gourmet Sausage
(i wouldn't go back for that)
THIS. is. THE BEST.
PORK RIBS at the price of IDR89.000/RM26 for full slab!
A-must-try if you were to visit Naughty's Nuri.
Craaaaaaving satisfied! Then, check in at Grand Mega Resort & Spa Bali.
Address: Jalan by pass Ngurah Rai No.234, Simpang Siur Kuta-Bali 80361 Indonesia.
Will i recommend this place? Yes! For the room, pool, location, service, price and breakfast!
Since it was still early, we walked across to the Matahari shopping centre (more shopping guide, click here). The malls and shops in Bali close at around 10pm except for Krisna Oleh Oleh Bali which opens 24hr. After 10pm, we got a cab and went to Krisna (Tuban branch)! *our night-is-still-young spirit*
We bought two I<3Bali singlets, a fan and a bag! Could get souvenirs here! :') But you might want to go there on the last day after visiting all the markets especially Sukawati Art Market (cheapest!). The reason why we went on the first day was cause we wanted to get the singlets which we then washed in the hotel hahaha!
Anyway, that's all for DAY ONE! :) The below is the map itinerary for day one:
Any enquiries, just leave a comment! Hope this post helps anddddd, will post on Bali Day Two soooon! Stay tune! :)
Loves,
