Everybody rushes to Sentosa Island when in Singapore. One offbeat item on your itinery can very well be Palau Ubin Island, for an island with a true tropical flavour. There are also old granite quarries and seashore shrim farms here. [read on]
There is a party of a different kind happening on Kuta Beach. Bali is an Island paradise, eastern, exotic and full of sweet beautiful Balinese people and crazy tourists. What smacks you right on day one are the Legong performances on the beach. We saw one while we were eating dinner on a beach side restaurant.
The beach itself in the morning is very touristy, and be careful, vendors selling Sarongs and all will Hound you if you even as much as glance their way. The vendor food is great, I have a cast iron stomach, so I don’t even think half a sec before I order. Our hotel was just across the road from the beach – in an alley. What you must do on Kuta Beach are:
1. Wake up leisurely in your hotel room, surely its the thing to do if you want a true Balinese experience. You can not be hyper on your Bali vacation – it clashes with the theme of the trip.
2. In that frame of mind, sit on the hotel room balcony, take the scene in, balmy trees, nice breeze, an Indonesian breakfast of Goreng, and a nice book to read, something racy preferably 🙂
3. After a while, go down to your hotel pool – they are wonderfully Balinese, with water spouting from the stone sculptures placed in the water. Laze around in the water, order a drink and enjoy the sun. I felt like a queen 🙂
4. Get a MASSAGE – don’t miss this step. This is a must, if you are sensitive, ask the lady to be gentle. Myself, I like the deep tissue massage I get, so I am already in heaven by now. Nap for a while. [read on]
