Our Bali trip 2007
This is my 4th trip to Bali & my husbands 6th.This time we decided to go without the kids,only because we couldn't afford to take them.We have 3 kids 12,12 &16,Grandma took care of them.Anyway moving on,this is my 1st jbr i hope i don't bore you too much.
Getting there well that took a bit of organising,because we live on the Gold Coast& there are no direct flights from Brisbane anymore.We ended up flying with Virgin from Gold Coast to Syd then Garuda to Dnps.
Sat 26th got up at 2.50am,transfers to airport were picking us up at 3.30am for a 6.20 flight.They had a few people to pick up on the way.Arrived at the airport at 4.30,so we had a while to wait.Flight left right on time.Arrived in Syd at 7.45,grabbed our luggage then hopped on the bus to take us to the international airport $5.00 each.
We thought that we had to be there 3hrs before the flight so we were rushing.When we went to check in they said that we did't have to check in 3hrs before they just start checking people through,so all was good.The flight was full delayed 30mins food was nice got a little bit of sleep.Arrived in Bali at 2.30pm paid our VOA $25 US Then waited 45mins for our luggage not happy.We didn't have transfers to our hotel so we walked outside and started asking the drivers how much to Febris Hotel they wanted 150,000rp my husband just laughed at them.We asked another driver further down he said 60,000rp so we went with him.We just wanted to get to the hotel.Arrived at the hotel a few minutes later the Febris Hotel is in Tuban not far from the airport.The hotel very nice i think it's only 2 years old. We normally stay at the Balihai Resort but it is closed & going up for auction.Our luggage was taken to the room 1118 ground floor not far from the pool.The room was very nice large bed a small lounge large fridge with cold bottles of water in there the bathroom was quite large as well.Time to put on the bikini's & relax by the pool while my husband goes surfing.When my hubbie came back from surfing we went accross to the Dynasty hotel for happy hour,i just had to have a tropical moon cocktail& i'm sure my husband would like his 1st of many bintangs.Happy hour was from 12-1pm&5-7pm.After drinks we went to the supermarket to stock up the fridge with the essentials beer softdrink etc.Back to the hotel for sleep.Woke up early, didn't sleep well the mattress is very hard.Hubbie went surfing i decided to go for a walk, it was still early nothing was opened but i still got hasselled to buy stuff.Walked back to the hotel for b'fast,bacon scrambled egg mini pancakes & juice yum!!!.It was a little cloudy but still hot.After b'fast i went to the discovery mall i left my hair brush at home so i had to buy one.While i was there i went to breadtalk the food is so yummy here chocolate everything i bought a choc filled danish so nice 6000rp i'm sure i'll be back.Today was just a lazy day by the pool,reading magazines that i bought with me from home.Have to go now time to cook dinner.
