First Impressions Bali/Seminyak/Kuta

Our first stop in Bali was Seminyak a really nice area full of stylish bars and trendy stores. A big thank you to my sister (Sara) that gave us as a wedding first two nights in this amazing hotel!

the above flowers smell incredible!!

Starting the day with a power breakfast! with some traditional fried rice!

It was a long trip to reach Bali :) a total of 31h! first in a Qantas flight from London to Singapore and after with Air Asia to capital of Bali, Denpasar and all the waiting.

Tip! if you need transport to your hotel from the airport, buy a voucher with a fix price for your trip until the hotel, otherwise you really get overcharged for such a small ride.

Walking around Seminyak we´ve noticed that there is a lot of places where people give tiny offerings to the gods, you see it as well in front of every single store or restaurant,

The next day we had to check out the vibrant Kuta! where all the surfers hangout,

I don´t think we ever saw such a huge amount of Billabong , Hurley, Quick Silver stores in the same area. Interesting statues we found along our way to Kuta,

Specially for all our Belgium friends!! If you happen to be in Kuta/Bali and you are home sick! look no further :) there is a traditional Belgium food restaurant called Mannekepis!

With has the added value of free wifi :).. talking about free wifi! is interesting to note that you can find it in pretty much every bar/restaurant in the big cities as they use it as a selling point for you to come and eat at their restaurant :). So it was worth it to check always if there was a wi-fi network in the restaurant and after asking for the password :)

In the meanwhile we have decided in our route for the next week:

Sanur (beach area) - Nusa Lembongan (small island) - Ubud (cultural capital) - Padang Bai (beach area) - Gilli Terawangan (Lombok island) - back to Padang Bai!

From there we are thinking to probably head to Amlapura where an impressive water palace is located! and after Lovina :)
