Bali Adventure: 4 Days of FUN!!

I had a long weekend and decided to escape away from the hustle bustle city of Singapore. There is only so much to explore in Singapore. And as a local, nothing is interesting to me.. *hmmmm*

Since I could get my hands on CHEAP airfares to Bali, the destination is SET.

For a more detailed breakdown, CLICK HERE for my itinerary!


It really is a FUN-FILLED Adventure. I would recommend Bali to just about everyone. I feel it has everything that could and would interest everyone. For a romance, or relaxed trip? For adventure? Or to see the myths come alive? Bali has it all!

Personally for me, I love adventure and to do things that I can't possibly do or see in Singapore. I thought 4 Days was too short, but since Bali is so close (just 2.5hr flight away).. I can visit Bali again.



Day 1: Exploring Kuta, Legian & Seminyak

This is doing very normal touristy things. Being in South East Asia and having so many beaches around me, I was greatly disappointed with what Bali has to offer. There were no pristine beaches, nor are they very clean. So TAKE NOTE..

I do know there are many more beautiful beaches around in the whole HUGE island (anything bigger than Singapore is HUGE to me... that makes it everything except the Vatican City). However, I chose to plonk myself in the tourist spot because I just HAVE to!! *haha* I like seeing things that is off the normal tourist traps, but I still love the amenities these touristy places provide. I don't want to have to take a cab for an hr just to grab a meal out of the hotel compounds.



Day 2: Climbing Mount Batur, Besakih Temple & Kerta Gosa

I seriously wanted to climb this active volcano to see the sunrise. And as luck would have it! It was raining as we trudge up the Volcano. Not only was I cold and wet (not so wet as it wasn't raining heavily), the Sunrise was hidden among all the LOW-LYING Clouds... Seriously!! Anyway, I would still recommend it!! I heard it is beautiful. And it was still an accomplishment for a non-seasoned hiker like me.

We visited the Holiest Temple in Bali. It is also the largest and is believed to be dated back to the 14th Century. So that is OLD!! (And coming from a Singaporean who's country history is so short.. I doubt anything from the 15th Century can be found either)

Most memorable: Lunch overlooking Rive Terraced Fields.. BEAUTIFUL!!! Living in a concrete jungle, seeing any form of agricultural land is virtually not possible.



Day 3: Cycling through the Villages of Ubud

It was nice riding through the villages and seeing another side of Bali. The less touristy side. I love the friendly children, the "uncles" sitting around, etc. It was nice catch a glimpse of the "REAL" Bali.



Day 4: Surfing & Ubud Market

I just HAD to learn how to surf. Singapore has pathetic waves that (and during my trip it still wasn't possible yet) to learn how to surf, we need to get on a fake surf machine. Yes... those stuff that spits jet of water and foam beneath to form the waves. Pathetic right...

So off I went to learn how to at least stand on the board!!



I'll see you again Bali....
