BALI
Going to spend some quality time with 5/9 of the family in Bali this weekend. We haven't got much planned so it's just going to be a totally chilled and "see how when we get there" trip. We'll be staying at Nusa Dua, a gated high end resort area with a supposedly nice beach. Looking forward to just chilling with the family and spending quality time with my nephews who are growing up so fast. We only have 4 days there so we'll be focusing mainly on places in South Bali. Sis left me to plan where to visit so I'm trying to read up about places and stuff. So far, Kuta (You can't go to Bali without at least checking out touristy Kuta right?), Seminayak, Nusa Dua (Duhh), Jimbaran and Tanah Lot are on the list. I'm hoping we can do some snorkelling too but we'll figure out how and where we can do that when we're there. We won't be renting a car so I guess catching their Bluebird and Bali Taxis to get around would be the best option.
It's a bummer we can't cover most of Bali on this trip. I'll probably have to make another trip to visit Ubud, Northern Bali, Lombok and Komodo Island next time! No complaints there!
EAST JAVA
Plans for Bromo, Malang and Yogyakarta are really coming together. We've found accommodation and tours and bookings have been made. Am really looking forward to see how the trip will pan out. I still haven't figured out the less exciting part that comes with trip planning- insurance, emergency contacts, phone connection, etc., but I'll get there. I still need to break the news to dad too! Haha. That's the scariest part.
Alright, back to Bali reading. Until next time, safe travels and happy planning!
