Life on a Mystical Island


Beach at Nusa Dua, with a view of a volcano (I think) in the distance …I wouldn’t be surprised if that was Lombok, the neighbouring island

Since we’re at Bali, I might as well continue, hehe. Here’re glimpses of what we did in Nusa Dua and Kuta in 2016. By the way, today happens to be Bali's New Year, Nyepi, the Day of Silence, where everything's closed and no work or play is allowed. Even the airport and internet are shut, for 24 friggin hours!! Don't believe me? Google it!

There, another short post done! Hah!


1.5 years old Jayden, at our hotel in Nusa Dua, the Tanjung Sari Inn


The courtyard at Tanjung Sari Inn, Nusa Dua, Bali


The hotel shrine …every hotel has its shrine!


The neighbourhood temple ….every street has its temple, …or maybe not, but temples are all over the place in Bali


Jayden in the hotel room. Notice semi-nude Balinese lady in the painting? You’ll only see that on paintings…


Ngurah Rai Airport, the only airport in Bali, the one that will be friggin CLOSED, on Nyepi, the Day of Silence, which happens to be today! (See previous post)

Taking a break in Kuta, at the Mamma Mia Restaurant


The food’s finally here – Fish & Chips for Justin, Mixed Seafood for Mommy, and Crispy Duck with Rice for yours truly, something like that, but it’s not cheap


Now that’s more like it, Lobster! And cheap! At Bamboo Corner, Kuta – if you’re spoilt for choice, pick this place!


And my favourite Balinese dish is …Babi Guling, roasted pork prepared in many styles, one of my favourite pork dishes in the world, I’d say – There’re countless warungs (food stalls) selling babi guling, but this picture is from a stall on the way to Tanah Lot, called Men Agus near the junction of Jl Raya Canggu and Jl Batu Mejan
