Kuta Beach, Bali 31 July - 3 August 2009


Bali was a place I always wanted to go and it came as a surprise when we decided that life was a little dry and we would head to Bali to try our luck on surfing. So within a day or so, all our things were packed and we saw ourselves heading towards this island paradise on a Friday evening.


There was an hour of flight delay, so we ended up browsing around the airport and trying our luck on the free foot massage machines, which were actually quite a comfort.


Soon we boarded the plane and after a 2.5 hour bumpy flight, we arrived in Denpasar airport. A quick flag of taxi saw us at our hotel, the Kuta Seaview Cottage, right opposite the Kuta Beach surfing spot. As it was relatively late, we went round the vibrant vicinity to buy some groceries and supper for the night. It was a wonderful evening, and the hotel room was beautiful, with a nice bath and sleeper.


The next morning, we had our breakfast at the cafe, nice brilliant hot breakfast and immediately after, we headed for Kuta Beach for our surfing. It was quite a good experience, cold waters, heavy tides. We spent the entire afternoon in the waves, having only to bid the sea temporarily farewell at 5.00pm. After which we took a walk round the Kuta vicinity and walked around the Poppies area.

We had dinner at Ocean's 27, a nice eatery beside the beach. Dinner was splendid and cheap despite the classy ambience. After dinner, we took a 15 min back to the hotel and rested for the next day and its adventures.


Day three in Bali saw more surfing after breakfast. We literally spent the whole afternoon at the beach and was pleasantly intrigued by our aptitudes in surfing. After returning the surf boards, we spent another hours playing in the waves - it was a remarkable experience.

In the evening, we took a walk round the Legian region, had a nice delectable indonesian dinner as well as a pleasing foot massage before heading back to hotel.

The next day, we woke up, packed our stuff and had a nice breakfast before calling the trip quits by heading to the airport for a nice flight home. It was a really nice trip.
