our Bali tRip~~~

8th Nov…
The day has come…
I planned to go Bali since I was in high school..
during that time…
heaps of Taiwanese Actress like to go there… everyday watching TVBS News.. listening Tao Jing Ying to talk bout it…
Can’t wait to have a relaxing hols at there too…

After 8 yrs…
finally… I bought the flight tics as burfday pressie for stewpig… :P
To make our dreams come tru.. muahahha…
he was dying to go there for years as well…
Too bad.. I always missed out the promo air fare…
bought at expensive peak period… curse it!

After lunch… ko ko and daddy drove us to airport…
I’ve learnt the lesson from my last HK trip... taking LCCT shutter / taxi from KL Sentral to LCCT is torturing… 3 ½ hrs journey from pg – kl + 1 hr from kl sentral – LCCT.. I might as well spend few tokens… get the pg-kl flight for both of us…

Yo ho...

1455 – 1545 PG – KL
1500 – 2005 KL – Bali

Too bad.. stewpig’s 16GB memory card was corrupted on the 3rd nite of our trip…
therefore, I only have limited photos from my SONY for the 1st 3 days…
Knowing that I’m gonna touch down Bali in late nite…

I decided to check-in at Tune hotel for our 1st nite and last nite..
as my flight to KL is at 6am in the morning..
What for the stay at pricey hotel when I need to leave for airport at 4 in the morning..

Surprisingly…
from the outlook – room – service – price – location – convenient – comfortable and etc etc from Tune Hotel do earn full points plus 3 more stars from my satisfaction level…
I seriously experienced “ staying at 5 stars by paying only 1 star rate “… no drama dude !!
I’m lucky to have booked the hotel at rm 0.70 per nite per single room…
plus admin fees = RM 12.96 per nite…
due to the Promosi for new opening..
they provided us with free air-cond and hair dryer supplies…
The hotel/ whole building is so new…
most of the taxi drivers got no idea where is it…
It located in the heart of Kuta… walking distance to Kuta Square… ( shopping and makaning places )
I’ve taken lotsa pics of the hotel room.. too bad.. all were inside the corrupted memory card…
click here for Tune Hotel website

there's a 7/24 Mini Mart beside the lobby.. so much convenient to the guests...

Tune Hotel provides airport pick up/ shuttle to airport with cheap rate...
they charged us only 36,000 Rupiah... while u hafta pay at least 55,000 Rupiah for Taxi...

I booked a more pricey hotel which nearby the beach for my 2nd and 3rd week.. paying USD 100 for both nites… Adi Dharma Hotel
they provided great services and facilities… eg. Swimming pool, free cocktail, mini library, free shuttle and etc…

our room is facing the pool view.. too bad, ground floor is fulled...
thus we have been located at 1st floor, corner room...
stewpig is standing at the balcony... he he
hotel built in Balinese Style…

The Reception

Lobby/ Waiting Hall

the place that we had breaky every morning...
afterall it's a older/ traditional building, can’t compare to the Brand NEW Tune Hotel…
If given me another chance..
I would rather stay at Tune for my whole trip..

it’s so wasted that..
our hotel located nearby the beach..
but we spent most of the time at Kuta Square..
Adi Dharma hotel provided multi tv channel (including astro) in every room..
too bad we were just too tired to browsed any tv shows when the time we backed to hotel at late nite…
The $ spent at Adi Dharma for 2 nites allowed me to stay more than 20 nites atTune…
Apart from this, I will still recommend Adi Dharma Hotel to those who’s aiming for a relaxing trip… ^^
as it really relaxing to swim with no worries~ straight after the buffet breaky every morning~ :)

on da 2nd day... we decided to walk around the city..
but not planning any day trip..
no plan.. no thinking.. no worries... just purely relaxing.. ^^

we had our late lunch/ tea time at a Flapjacks Pancake House in Kuta..
the pancakes there are awesome...
variesties available from the menu...
from Sweet pancake to savoury pancakes varieties...
crepes/ waffle/ HomeMade Gelato with plenty of flavours/ western foods/ smooties and etc etc...
I had da Strawberry Crepes which is so so so yummie...
heaps of strawberries pieces + whipped cream + strawberry sauce wrapped inside the pancake..
and topped with a scoop of Gelato + More fresh strawberries !!!

while stewpig made his own pancake with a scoop of Strawberry Gelato + Rapsberry puree...
oh my.. both of em are Heavens...
too bad that, the photos are inside the currupted memory card... therefore... no photos to show here...
the Boost Smootie.. is indeed amuzing~ ~.~
last but not least, the services worth double thumbs-up too !
