Bali Bali Day 0: Hello Bali

It wasn't intentional - the Bali trip was planned 1st bcos it was the school holidays. Then I needed to go JKT for work and couldn't find a better week. 

We had planned to leave on Friday late evening, after the kids' school, only for the day to be appointed as polling day. Wasted siol. However, that gave me plenty of time to rest and pack after the JKT trip. 

Bcos we had so much time, we decided to head to the airport earlier. Bye bye Mochi. He doesn't care, he didn't even look at me any more after I come back from JKT. Zzzzz. 

We headed to the airport at 3.30pm when out flight was at 7pm. Bcos it was Airasia, we were at T4. Absolutely no rush. 


We had a nice early dinner and the kids were happily monkeying around. The last holiday, Nana was confined to the wheelchair and now we have freedom!
We did some shopping and only I gained. Another Mr Bear to add on to our collection.
Hoho. 

Whenever we travelled on budget airline for family trips, Daddy Lim gets special treatment at the extra legspace row but sits alone. I get to sit with the kids... and Mr Bear.



We had dinner already and didn't order flight dinner but that didn't stop Zaky from asking for his 2nd dinner. It is OK, we are on a holiday and more importantly, he has lost weight. 

The flight was 2hrs and 45 mins long and it got a little boring. It was a noisy flight too with crying infants and chatty toddlers. The one seated behind us was at one point kicking and banging on our chair. I had to ask the parents to stop the kid. Otherwise, all good and we touched down at 9.30pm. Unlike JKT, there is no time difference.

The immigration was crowded. For a moment, I missed Nana being paika and we got to use the priority lanes then. It was almost 10.30pm when we got out of the airport and found our driver. 
We would be staying in a villa in Seminyak for the next 3 nights. Our previous Bali villa experience were great and we were looking forward. 

The villa was 30 mins drive away, costing us IDR200k. Compared to the other villas that we had stayed in previously, this was much older and smaller. The villa has 2 bedrooms, each with its own toilet and shower. The only problem that we had the 1st night, was a big unwelcome spider, which occupied the bathroom and nobody dares to shower with it. Lol. Luckily, there is a 2nd bathroom.
