On Friday afternoon, we departed from Hussein Sastranegara Airport in Bandung. Arriving at Risata Hotel in Tuban area, it is pretty far from any other famous areas. We shared one room together and make a huge mess immediately on our first get-dressed-for-the-night session. We went to Motel Mexicola for dinner. apparently we stopped at the main street of seminyak and got stucked on traffic. so we walked pretty far to the restaurant. I love the vibe of the place! First of all, the color is dominated with turquoise! they played mexican songs which are very energetic. Everyone seems having fun laughing out loud and drunk a lil bit, some are wearing sombrero. Such a happy place. I ordered the nachos and quesadillas. some of the bule attempted to talk us. fun night. we dropped in to mcdonald in kuta. it was like, who doesnt need mcdonald after all????
The next morning we had breakfat at Nasi Pedes Bu Andika. It is pretty famous, cheap, and crowded. But for me, the taste is somewhat standard. Our first destination is Padang- Padang Beach. the trip took 1 hour to Uluwatu. people said we have to go down hundred of stairs. the fact is it only a few stairways. I love the combination of sands, sea water, and coral reef! Not so many people and the wave is so friendly though the sun was so hot. we rented the umbrella and laying on the beach laughing taking pictures and singing. i have the best girls in the world, haven't i? We intended to go to El Cabron to watch sunset but it was full somehow. So we spend the rest of the afternoon at Finn's Beach Club. It is private beach and each person has to pay 250k rupiah. we already got food, towel, bed, and umbrella. The place is so peaceful. gentle breeze and vague songs completed the day. we went down to the sea and screamed to the strong wave. i almost felt asleep because it does feel like our own beach. For the dinner, we went to Rock Bar in Jimbaran. The restaurant hung in a high cliff facing the sea. We must took the elevator to go down and the elevator is open air and i was so scared of height i almost can't breath. The place is a lil too pricey and because it's 7 pm so we barely can see anything. the light is too dim.
We had breakfast at this small restaurant in the roadside of Seminyak called Sea Circus. The decoration is so cute and again, dominated with turquoise and white colors. The food is cheap and the milkshake is superb. whatever, turquoise just make me happy. On the third day, we visited potato head beach club. we intended to swim in the pool but it was full. hence we only had our lunch and sat on the green grass. it was a pretty good time because the sea breeze are so fresh. we then went earlier to El Cabron because we want to get place near the swimming pool. We pay 300k rupiah each person for the table on the poolside including the food and the towel. They gave us the best sunset view ever while swimming and eating. The pool is small but it is located over the cliff facing to the sea. We stayed there for like 3 hours. Before going back to hotel, we strolled at Kuta Street for shopping. And then we went to Krishna to buy souvenirs. I love it better when i dont have to bargain price.
The last day we woke up early to packed all the mess. We bought something at Joger shop, it is a famous brand from Bali. they had funny sentences on their stuff. We had our last lunch at KuDeTa. the restaurant is at seminyak beach and i can hear the sound of the wave while eating. It is a pretty hot day though. they also have beds for sunbathing and swimming pool but of course we didnt intend to get tan like those bule. finally we have to go back to where we belong; college and tasks. whatsoever, i have the best summer. the one that come spontaneously and hilariously well spent. i had deep talks with the girls along with the stupid talks. we talked about life but we dont have to talk about how we're gonna stand up for each other's because we knew it already. after having been to so many beautiful places, i realize that what makes it perfect is not what you're wearing or going, but who you're with.
so let me have a little closure, this journey wouldn't be as great as it is without the girls. cheers!
