Our 4th trip (Hubby's 5th if you count him going earlier this year with his team). This time around, it was a family trip with Mak.. so the whole gang came. Aunty & Yon, both kids and we brought Anik along too.
Day 1
The day started early for us, the flight was at 0850 hrs so we needed to be at the airport by 7am the latest. Aliah was up easy, as she knows what was in store for her that day. Waking J up was the hardest part of course, but since she slept pretty early the night before it was relatively easy to get her to take her bath. I got about 2 hours of sleep that night what with coming home late after finishing up my part in the tender and then packing all the 3 bags.
Received an sms telling the flight was delayed to 1000 hrs as we reached the airport so we actually had ample time to lepak, much to J's dismay. Kept insisting to go on the jet plane. Since we had time, decided to go on the aerotrain for the kids sake. At least that made Jannah happy for a while. Flight left on time and soon we were in the air. Miss chatterbox was having her conversations with her imaginary friend(s) all the time. She fell asleep soon enough though, and Mommy can finally get some peace n quiet. Haha!
We arrived at Bandara Ngurah Rai, went pass the Immigration and collected our bags without a hitch. Siswanto was already waiting for us outside, and immediately had our first nasi padang for the trip. Next stop, Mercure Hotel. We had to wait for our rooms a bit and then everyone settled in for a bit of a rest. I fell asleep immediately and didn't want to wake up 3 hours later. Haha. I was that tired.
Ended day 1 with walking around Kuta.
Day 2
Day started early as we were headed for Tegallalang. Along the way made stops at Batuan, Celuk, Mas. At the silversmith, Mak managed to haggle her way to get a pretty bracelet. The kids got a seashell each much to Jannah's happiness. Earlier on when we stopped at Rip.curl, she threw a tantrum when we told her we were leaving as she was having a fun time playing at their kids' corner in the shop. Siap guling2 tak nak balik nih. And cuteness as she is, bila marah cakap "Achoom, achoom!"
Then on to our favourite stop at the painting gallery. Bought 5 paintings there, to add to our collection. Not all shops were open along the Tegallalang stretch as it was their Kuningan celebration (similar to our Raya celeb). Even still, we managed to buy 3 more paintings. Haha! Memang kitorang gila painting. But in my defence, it was really cheap! And sangat cantek. Lunch was late, and everyone was cranky. Had another round of nasi padang somewhere in Ubud.
Siswanto then brought us to Jalan Sulawesi where they sell all the kain ela. As both kids were asleep at this point, it would have been difficult to do any shopping. So, decided to do Jalan Sulawesi the next morning sans the kids. Next stop was at Kampung Bali, a one stop center for all things Bali. Got some souvenirs here and Aliah got a Ben10 watch which she loved. Jannah threw a tantrum again, this time because she didn't want to leave as she was having fun playing with all the musical instruments there. In the end she conceded to leave with the Korean drum thing.
Our last stop was at the roadside lalapan stall to get our nasi bungkus. As always the sambal is awesome! After dinner, left the kids in the room with Anik while all the adults walked around Kuta again. This time we walked all the way to Discovery mall. As it was getting late, tak sempat nak shop around sangat.
