And to top it off, although we were arriving late in th evening to Bali, it was a beautiful sight from above when we were descending to the airport....a dark and vast sea with lights illuminating the boats offshore, and a tiny island awaiting us which looked just as dark except for the few beach resort areas, all lighted and sparkling away to us! We arrived to a small resort in Kuta and chcked into our luxury room overlooking the pool and garden which we had booked for a special price over the internet, (thank god for technology, and those every now and again guilty pleasures!)
So the next day we had a mooch around Kuta, and went to the beach. Nice but overcrowded and not looked after! And to be honest, people trying to sell you stuff and then being rude if you dont oblige is something we were growing tired of now. So dinner, and a few drinks is all good! The next day, we spent it shopping for a few goods we needed and just totally lazed our arses off at the pool! Can you blame us???
