In Kuta >> Bali 02

We woke up bright and early today.

Sri Ratu has a lovely, small garden and a charming breakfast nook on the second floor. Our simple, clean and quiet room is directly above the cute swimming pool, which reminds me of a gigantic bathtub! ^_^



During breakfast, we met a nice, elderly couple from New Zealand. They told us they always stayed at Sri Ratu whenever they visited Bali. This time round, Bali was chosen as the destination for a family reunion with their son and his family from England!

After breakfast, we were off to indulge in a Singaporean's favourite activity - shopping! I remembered our bulging bags from our previous trip and looked forward to buying more goodies, but was sadly disappointed. :-(

One of the main deterrent was bargaining.

I'm so used to fixed prices that the thought of having to bargain for every item, big or small, just puts me off. Thank goodness we do not need to bargain for our food!

We had lunch at Made’s Warung, a local favourite in Kuta. J ordered the nasi campur (a specialty of the house) while I had otak (steamed minced fish mixed with spices) and veg with rice. Both were delicious!

Had dinner at Indo-National, a restaurant serving Western food and recommended in the guidebooks. Service was good, portion quite generous though I had expected the seafood to be fresher. Still, it was an entertaining and enjoyable evening…
